caring for all sorts of produce and
commodities. The basement will con-
tain number of bins for the storage
of commodities of farmers who desire
to take advantage of carlot ship
ments of produce of which one indi-
vidual farmer may not have suf7ic-
lent amount to make a carload, but
which combined with the amounts of
other farmers would make such car
lots. These products could be stored
until there were enough to make the
carload, when they could be sold on
track, or shipped to the larger mar
kets. Commission houses in the lar
ger cities will have their buyers at the
market when such commodities as po-
tatoes or cabbage or other products
of the farm are offered in sufficient
quantities to provide car loads. The
same facilities will be such that the
cost of handling after the products are
stored will be reduced to the lowest
possible point.
A site along one of the railways is
to be secured.
The gentlemen who are pushing the
new enterprise are all we'll known cit
liens of this part of the state. Mr..
Coddington has spent considerable
time investigating markets in num-
Der of eastern and middle west cites
where this plan Of selling farm pro-
duce is in vogue. He has worked out
the details of the plan and is familiar
with the success which has followed
the development of the market plan in
a number of places. Those associated
with him are experienced cooperative
men, who have given much time and
study to the new methods of bringing
producer and buyer together.
