THE cLRVELAHD.r
WOOL Y, 90 | DEPOT. . .!:..

" - - NSN " "
Established In the Winter OF 1885,.
HAS been Ia operation over four year, during
IIwhieh period, though lts progress has been
impeded By the adverse yeurs Of 1884 and ls'
81, the pFacticabilify Of the plan has beea
clearly demonstrated. That the house affords
superior advantages 20 d. WOOL GROWERS
or THE WEST as a medium for passing their
wools into the hands Of the manufacturer, Is
now no IenReF q question. But although q
very large number Of wool Growers have avail.
ed themselves Of these advantages during the
last four years, yet. surprising as it may ap-
pear 20 many, our receipts have been larger
from Merchants and WOol-buyers than from
Wool-groWers, and this may be accounted for
mainly from the fact that, as a class, Wool
growers have been more easily Influenced and
misled than the former, by the statements Of
few operators who are wholly opposed 10 al
efforts having for their object the 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
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 satis-
faction 20 consgnons, should, we think, inspire
sufficient confidence to induce large eonsign-
ments from wool growers.
To those who have been prejudiced BY false
rumors, and who have manifested a 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 starte
for their benefit, and this object has been stead
lily kept in view, and We hope the encourage
ment will be such as TO enable as 10 continue
our efforts. Indeed, wool growers, particular
" the present year, cannot afford 10 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 Woo
] Depot system, and We hazard nothing In assur
/ ing those who are disposed to consign 10 US
that they will avail themselves Of
BETTER PRICES
than they can obtain by any other method ,anC
and would we trust, become permanent friend
of the enterprise. At this House, the
Wool is closely classified
Into different styles and grades, thus render
ing it more attractive to the manufacturer, WHIT
frequently does not wish to purchase mixeC
lots. Here he eau obtain the particular gradI
of wool adapted to the quality OF goods h
manufacturer, and thus can afford to
PAY 3 TO 5 CENTS POUND MORE
Than under the old system Of employing a.
gents and sub-agents to canvass the countr!
to procure bis 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 ant
quantity.
To those who wish to consign Wool to us
we will forward sacks, by express or other
wise, numbered and marked so that no othe
diree ion would be required to have the Woo
