many Of them being utterly unfit for use. Deal.
ers such as these are rare. 1t is true: the major.
iy Of them are honest.
To the dealers, whom the railroads designate as
the consignees, come the little fellows, the traders.
These also represent almost every phase of hu.
man character. Many save up q few hundred dol.
lars and visit the freight yards with their teams,
buying the trees In less than carload lots. In this
way they can see just what they are getting.
Most OF them are shrewd fellows, and drive a
hard bargain. Your upcountryman IL ofttimes as
shrewd, however. as the "piker" dealer, and many
amusing hours may be spent frequenting the
freight yards in the railroads where the trees are
stacked or exhibited for sale.
Each year there are many new additions to
the company of dealers. The lure Of the adven.
ture. the chance to realize money upon an invest.
ment that Is practically certain to bring a so per
cent. return. attracts many to the business. Trees
can be purchased In half carload lots, or even In
hundred lots for about 80 cents apiece. II they
can be sold for q dollar. or perhaps more. the
chance to make money quickly Is irresistible to
many investors.
Not always does the investor succeed. His
fingers are sometimes pretty badly burned. The
market may be glutted. he may have q rival on the
next corner. or perhaps his trees are not SUFFICIENT.
ly attractive to cause the public to patronize him.
Perhaps he has held of. waiting for better prices.
till the last moment. and finds himself with half
q hundred spruce on his hands, which he must
dispose Of as best he may.
Usually, however, the business Is lucrative. The
wise dealer buys trees In hundred lots. peddles
them out quickly, and comes back for more. He
does not wait for high prices. but sells his trees
for what he can get.
