OF course, no one can tell whether they

COMMISSION MEN DO
TWO KINDS Of TRADE
is NEW EXPLANATION
Sentinel Special Service.

Sentinel Special Service.
Seattle, Wash. Dec. 2S.-Serious
and emphatic objections to being
listed as thieves and crooks by the
growers have been registered by the
commission men on Western avenue
in this city. They set forward a
new explanation for the conditions
against which the growers rebel.
They were or some of them were,
willing to admit that there is one
fault of Importance to be found with
the way in which Seattle commission
houses do business. They do two
kinds of business, a commission bust
ness where they receive consign-
ments from producers, sell the pro-
duce and keep 10 per cent commits
sion and send the rest to the grower.
and their own private business,
where they buy produce outright and
sell it for as much profit as they
can make.
Sometimes Business Conflicts
Sometimes these two ways of do
ing business conflict, and it Is easy
to imagine which goods are pushed
forward to the market-the CON
signors', or the commission mer-
chants personai-purchases Howev-
er. the commission men say that this
! conflict seldom occurs. The con
signment trade is mostly in perisha-
bles, extra perishables, while the
trade carried on by the commission
men for themselves is mostly in goods
which they can hold for the best
market, apples, oranges, potatoes and
other staples that will keep week
or longer
Most commission houses do twice
or three times as much private bust
ness as they do consignment bust
ness. There is more money in II.
But maybe the farmer or fruit grow
er would fare better If the commits
sion man had only commission bust
ness on hand.
Il keep my books so that every
sale is recorded the minute il is made
and the sales of each consignment
are recorded together on one page.
so that the grower can see where
every pound of his produce goes and
what, it brings said j. H. Elerath
of Elerath & Radford, one of the
Big Six" firms of Commission row.
IF there is any commission house
that doesn't keep its books so, | am
in favor of law which will make
them do So The grower has a per-
feet right to know all about what is
done with his goods.
Some farmers come to the city
and see their produce on sale at fruit
stands or retail groceries at high pri-
ces. They ask the retailer what he
paid on Western avenue. The retail
er lies a little to make his own
profit seem small and the farmer
then thinks Western avenue has been
robbing him"
