GERS of Ohio into a combine known as the
Ohio Wholesale Grocers' association, at
the head of which is Frank G. Let's, who
is president of the Western Grocery COM
pany with headquarters In this city, is
but the first step in great scheme to
organize the wholesalers from New York
to San Francisco. From inside informa-
ton received here it is known that Pres
ident Let's has overcome practically all
the obstacles in the way Of his project
and now has the backing of all the finan-
cial interests that will ever be needed in
carrying out the plan.
The purpose Of the organization is to
control such a vast distribution that the
sugar trust. biscuit trust, tobacco trust,
canned goods trust, in fact, all the trusts
In thei" line, will be glad to give the new
combine Of wholesalers a fair commission
for handling their products.
The Western Grocery company includes
the principal houses in Iowa, Minnesota
Kansas and Missouri. Its function is
principally that of buyer, the goods for al
the houses included in the organization
being bought by the agents of the gro
Gerry company. The whole output of fac
tories are bought, thus securing excep.
tionally good prices Teas and coffees are
bought by the shipload directly from the
plantations. Agents are kept in the orr
ent for this and other purposes.
