MacnInery for Siberian Peasants

A very important feature in the
of Siberia is the organiza-
ton throughout the country Of stores
for the sale of agricultural machinery
to the peasant population. From a
small beginning in 1898 the organiza-
ton has rapidly assumed large proper
tons. and at the end OF 1912 there
were, at various centers east of Tchel-
ybinisk, 67 depots and 100 sub-depots
and agencies. The annual turn
over continually increases, and at
tanned In 1919 the sum Of S,4SS,000
rubles. The machinery is sold on
long and easy terms OF credit A good
system OF organization minimizes the
number OF bad debts. AS far as pos
sible, machinery Of Russian manu-
facture only Is sold by these stores
but the amount of modern machinery
dealt with by them is very large.
