Every fruit and truck growers asso-
citation requires the best salesman
available. Usually good merchants
can be selected who will serve in
this capacity, They are familiar with
commercial affairs and have the cour-
age Of their convictions upon the mat
ter OF price.
The grower may he very successful
with the crop until it reaches his ship
ping point. If he attempts to sell on
the track, the buyers are shrewd and
thoroughly trained to all tricks of the
trade. An incident occurred in an
east Texas community last season
which may be of value to some Of
our readers. The local association was
selling potatoes at good prices to buy
ers who had gathered from many cities
for that purpose. On a certain day
the buyers, without leaving town,
failed to visit the wagons or make
any offer for the crop. The growers
were in confusion, but their sales
agent was equal to the occasion. He
secured orders by wire and about
noon the cars began to go out to their
northern destinations. The buyers
were amazed, and when charged with
having combined against the growers,
acknowledged their fault and offered
to make good by holding up the prices.
On another occasion a shrewd buy
er claimed to find a great difference
in the value of the crop grown by the
president of the local association and
the product offered by the members.
An advance in the price of the presi-
dents crop was privately suggested.
He refused, knowing full well that the
intent was to break up the organiza-
ton by stating that M of its officers
was securing special privileges at the
hands of the buyers,
