PORTLAND, Or, May IL, 1896.
DEAR SIR: II is with great pleasure
we address you to inform you that we
have established baling and grading
plant at North Yakima, Wash, for the
purpose of baling and grading the woods
in your vicinity.
We have selected North Yakima ow-
ing to its central location, which gave
the railroad company the opportunity of
making low local rates from either direc-
ton, for the purpose of bringing all the
wool to one station, thereby encouraging
buyers to go there, where they can find
large quantities. and where they have ia
cilites for grading and baling into com
pressed bales, similar to the operations
at The Dalles, Arlington and Pendleton
In fact, making new wool market near
to you.
The N. z. r. II. Co., are doing all they
possibly can in this connection by max
ing low rates to the Eastern market, as
well as from local points to North Yaki-
ma. The rate on wool in sacks last year
was $2.4S per hundred pounds to Boston,
The new rate in compressed bales now
established from North Yakima to Bos-
ton or any other Eastern points is 81 55
per 100 pounds, to which add baling and
grading-25c per understanding 81 80,
a saving of sixty-eight (6Sc) per hundred
pounds, provided you deliver direct TO
North Yakima; but should it be more
convenient for you to ship from some To-
cal point it will only cost you 5 or l0c
per 100 pounds to have 1t hauled on the
railroad depending from which station
you ship according to annexed copy OF
the local tariff just put into effect.
Owing to the dullness of the present
market, on which account low prices will
prevail, it surely will be to your interest
to figure on all items OF expense in mark
etlng your wool.
You can readily see by hauling your
wool to North Yakima you will save
from So to Csc per hundred pounds on
freight alone and get the benefit as well
of the competition of buyers who will he
attracted by the quantity that will accu-
mulate there, il You will do your share
in bringing your clip to that point, thus
giving you the benefit of two markets,
one OF which is the opportunity TO sell
there, and the other to ship east, in case
you desire to get the benefit of any adj
vance in price, which the result of the
next presidential election might give us;
in which case we will make you liberal
advances at reasonable rates OF interest,
in order to assist You in carrying it.
We promise you, however, that we will
do our utmost to invite buyers from all
sections in order to make home market
for you, which we surely can do if yon
give us the desired encouragement, Sc
curing the establishment of a securing
mill to be in active operation for next
season, ON which We are now calculating
as to the building site, cost OF plant, etc,
Any information you may desire not
given you in the above, will be cheerfully
furnished you by addressing either our
house here or at North Yakima, Yours
respectfully, FL. METzGER
