wool. DEPOT,
Established In the Winter Of 1885,.
HAS been In operation over four years, during
IIwhieh period, though lbs progress has beer
impeded By The adverse years Of e54 and IS.
81, the pFaeticability Of the plan has beea
clearly dsmOastraied That the house Affords
superior advantages 70 the WOOL GROWERS
OF THE WEST as a medium for passing theii
wOols into The hands Of the manufacturer, L
nov no longer a question. But although q
very large number Of wool Growers have avail.
ed themselves Of these advantages during The
last four years, yet. surpridng as i mag ap-
pear 10 many, our receipts have been larger
from Merchants and WOol-buyers than from
Wool-goWeFs, and this may be accounted for
mainly from the fact, that, a. a class, Wool
growers hare been more easily Influenced and
misled than the former, by Ihe statements Of
a few operators who are wholly opposed 70 all
efforts having for their object the systemati-
zing Of the wool trade, or the enhancement Of
prices 10 the producer.
The past year, characterized a. Il has been
by the most disastrous financial embarrass-
ments, has been one Of the most unfortunate
for negotiating and managing sales Of wool,
and the fact that the enterprise has been re-
markably successful, notwithstanding these dis
advantages, and given almost universal salts
faction 70 consignos, should, we think, inspire
sufficient confidence 70 Induce large sOnsign-
ments from wool growers.
To those who have been prejudiced BY false
rumOFs, and who have manifested q want Of
confidence we have frequently made advances
equal to the price they have been offered for
their wool. Such advances, how ever, should
not be required, As the enterprise was started
for their benefit, and this object has been stead.
ily kept In view, and we hope the encourage.
ment win be such as 10 enable US 10 continue
our efforts. Indeed, wool growers, particular.
ly the present year, cannot afford 10 do with
out such influence and facilities as this House
can extend to them.
This year must be apeculiarly favorable one
for wool growers TO test the merits Of the Wool
Depot system, and we hazard nothing In assur.
ing those who are disposed to consign TO US,
that they will avail themselves Of
BETT Err PRICES
than they can obtain by any other method, and
and would we trust, become permanent friends
Of the enterprise. At this HousS, the
Wool as Closely Classified
Into different styles and grades, thus render
ing It more attractive to the manufacturer, who
frequently does not wish to purchase mixed
lots. Here he can obtain the particular grade
of wool adapted to the quality Of goods be
manufactures, and thus can afford to
PAY 3 TO 5 CENTS A POUND MORE
Than under the old system of employing a.
gents and sub-agents to canvass the country
to procure his stock. Here he can find uni
form grades, which are so well known to Eas
tern Manufacturers, that the only expense at.
tending their buying is letter or telegraph
dispatch, ordering any particular grade aud
quantity.
10 those who wish to consign Wool to us,
we will forward sacks, by express or other
wise, numbered and marked so that no other
direction would be required to have the Wool
reach us
