Mr. Sam Aaronsohn, who recently returned to Palestine, issued the following statement to the representative of the “Jewish Daily Bulletin.” Mr. Aaronsohn was in this country on behalf of the Palestine Flour Mills. His statement read:
“I have succeeded in interesting the Manishewitz Brothers Company in the Palestine matzos. They are most anxious to help this new branch of the Palestine Mills. Owing to the lateness of the season, we could not, however, make a big start this year. I brought with me only ten thousand pounds of matzos which were disposed of in a few hours. We are not aiming at, nor is it possible, to supply the entire American matzos requirement. All we want is to get the Jews here into the habit of buying a percentage of Palestine matzos with their other matzos. This will successfully be done with the cooperation of the Manishewitz Brothers, the largest matzos distributing agents in the world.
“As soon as I report personally to my firm and when they ratify my agreement with the Manishewitz Brothers, I will inform your representative in Palestine.”
