- Biographical / historical:
Florida Citrus Mutual was organized in 1948, and by 1953, the Florida Citrus Mutual Triangle had been established after years of an informal newsletter between members and Mutual leaders. From 1958-1959, Fred Shilling Jr. was the organization's Director of Public Relations and expanded the organization's outreach to the members through both the Triangle newsletter as well as the Florida Citrus Mutual Calling radio show. The Triangle newsletter spreads vital information on advancements, technologies, and techniques to improve the overall citrus industry and has aided the growth of Florida growers, packers, and handlers. The newsletter provides statistics of the industry in comparison to the previous year and the overall growth of the organization. The Triangle also provides advertisements and announcements of the Florida Citrus Mutual organization itself including new members, radio programs, and other expansions within the organization. Other important information contained in the Triangle include council meeting times and election information.
