A representative of H. Wood & Co
OF Chicago, one of the large produce
firms of South Water street, is in
this valley and making a systematic
canvas of the growers, offering $1.45
per box for Jonathans, f. o. b. We
natchee. He states that he must
have several carloads ready for ship
ment before tomorrow night, and is
crowding the growers to close con-
tracts with him rapidly
Two days ago this buyer called on
George r. Fisher, cashier of the
First National bank, and announced
the purpose of his visit. Evidently
| he desired to secure the bank as a
reference. Yesterday Mr. Fisher was
called up on the phone by a rancher
who wanted to know if the check Of
H. Wood & Co. was good. He was told
that any check they might issue is
1 most certainly good, for the firm is
capitalized at 100000. Today the
grower was in the bank and dis
played a check and contract for his
crop of Jonathans at $1.45 per box
The banker mas figured out what
he considers an adequate explanation
of the actions of this buyer. He be-
| lieves that the Wenatchee Fruit
Growers association has received a
bid of not less than $3.50 per box
on Jonathans and that the repre-
sentative of Wood & Co. is showing
to the grower that by selling to him
at $145 he is doing cents per box
! better than the association, because
the latter must allow 10 cents for
commission, leaving s1.40 net to the
grower.
In the meantime the association is
holding off. keeping the wires hot,
while everything indicates that Jona-
thans will go to $1.65 per box. In
this effort to bull the market, Mr..
Fisher is of the opinion that the

w. c. Michael, representing the Glib
son Fruit company of Chicago. 1t is
now quite freely believed that this
firm has an understanding with the
association directors by which it is
to handle the pool this year. The
plan is said to be that the Chicago
house is conducting a vigorous So
licitation of the trade throughout the
country, and will show actual orders
to the directors before any contract
shall be let. If these orders prove
satisfactory, Gibson will be given the
entire pool and allowed commits
sion of 10 cents per box.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Fisher that
such a plan is an excellent one.
Surely no one is so well equipped
to market a big shipment of apples
as we'll as a thoroughly organized
produce house." said the banker this
morning. 1T is simply a question of
whether the Gibson company will
conduct the work honestly or not.
Leaving aside the record they have
established for honesty and efficien-
cy, what is their interest in this
case? Any business man can see at

a glance that it means a tremendous
opportunity to the Gibson people to
bring the growers of this valley
prices for their pool that will top the
market. The crop this year is a
mere fraction of what the Wenatchee
valley will produce three or four
years from now. The battle of the
biggest commission houses now is
not for this years crop, but for the
enormous output of the years to
come. Gibson has the opportunity to
hold a large share of the business
for the future if he makes a good
record now"
