Wool DEPOT,

~ n Y II n r h n ~ ~.
WOOL DEPOT,
Established IN the Winter OF 1885,:
HAS been 10 operation over four ysars ,durins
lIshich period, though its progress has been
imPeded By The adverse years Of 1854 and Is.
81, the praeticabllity Of the plsn has beea
clearly demonstrated. That the house affords
superior advantages 70 the WOOL GROWERS
OF THE WEST AZ a medium for passing their
Nools into the hands ol the Manufacturer, L
nov no longer a question. But although a
very large number Of wool GioEeTs have avail
ed themselves Of those advantages during the
last four yeara, yet. surprising a. it may ap-
pear 70 many, our receipts have been larger
from herchaas and WO0-buyers than from
Wool-gowers, and this mar Be accounted foF
mainly from the fact, that, as a class, Wool
growers have been more easily Influenced and
misled than the former, BY the statements Of
aieW operators who are wholly opposed 70 ~
efforts having for their object Ihe systemati-
zing Of the wool trade, or the enhancement Of
prices 10 the producer.
The past year, characterized as Il has been
by the most disastrous financial embarrass-
ments, has been one Of the most unfortunate
Tor 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 cOnsignOrs, should, we think, inspire
snfhcient confidence 70 induce large eOnsign-
ments from wool growers.
To those who have been prejudiced By false
Fumors, and who have manifested 4 want of
confidence We have frequently made advances
equal 10 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 keptin view, and we hope the encourage.
ment viii be such as 10 enable US to continue
our efforts. Indeed, wool growers, particular.
ly the present year, cannot afford TO do with
out such influence and facilities as this House
can extend to them.
This year must be peculiarly 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 10 us.
that they viii avail themselves Of
BETTER PRICES
than they can obtain By any other methd and
and would we trust, become permanente eiends
Of the enterprise At this House, thS
Wool is Closely ClassSed ed!
Into different styles and grades, thus WIDER
ing il more attractive to the mauufacSrer, who
frequently does not wish to purchase mixed
lots, Here he can obtain the particular grade
Of wool adapted to the quality Of FOODS he
manufactures apd thus can afford to
PAY 3 TO 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 a letter or telegSah
dispatch, ordering any particular grade and
quantity.
To those who wish to cOnsign Wool to us
we win forward sacks, by express or other
wise, numbered and marked SO that no other
direction would be required to have the Wool
reach US.
