Services Offered by George Collins
of BO6 South Front Street, Commits
sion Merchant In Live and Dressed
Poultry, Butter, Eggs, Etc, VIII
Appeal Strongly TO Shippers WhC
Desire TO Deal With a Live House
on this Markets Worthy Of RVerJ
Confidence.
Believing that shippers of live and
dressed poultry, butter, eggs, etc.
throughout the country will be inter
ested in a few words concerning the
hrm, we take occasion of referring
briefly to the exceptional services be-
ing offered by George Collins. with
headquarters at No. 306 South Front
street.
Mr.. Collins Is a newcomer on this
market under his own name, but he
has had many years experience In the
business, having formerly been con-
nected with Swift & Co, Armour g Go.
and later with the firm OF George N.
Baer & Co., of this city. Thus II will
be seen that he has the requisite ex-
perience and ability for the successful
conduct of the new house. He Is Of
fering shippers a progressive and
thoroughly up-tO-date service in the
handling of cOnsignments, guarantee
ing prompt sales and immediate re-
turns upon all consignments. He is
active in live and dressed poultry. but
ter, eggs, etc, and is rapidly building
up substantial trade among the bet
ter class of buyers on this market. so
that he may be said to have a good
outlet for all shipments.
Shippers of live poultry will be par
ticularly interested In this establish
ment, for II maybe said that Mr.. Col
Inns is Offering a service never before
offered in Philadelphia He has fitted
up a department for the care and feed
ing of live poultry having sufficient
facilities TO properly care for 10000
pounds of live poultry at one time.
The advantage OF this service lies In
the fact that he will pay shippers the
market price for consignments on the
day they are received, and will, If
place them in his estab-
lishment where they will be cared for.
and he will take the risk of placing
them to advantage. This is something
never before offered in this city to
shippers of live poultry, who must now
cOnsign their stock and trust to favor !
able market conditions, for should It
be necessary to hold the shipments |
over a couple days. the fowl deteriorate |
and loss is almost sure to result. Not !
so with the service offered by Mr.. Col |
Inns, who pays the market price on the |
lay received. and personally takes the /
risk Of selling to advantage. Natural |
y shippers will be interested in such |
/ service, and we advise them TO In
'estigate it without delay.
1t may be further stated that Mr..
Collins has ample financial backing,
md that he is able to give satisfactory
from banks, commercial
lgencies or the trade publications, so
hat the Editor of this paper has no
hesitation in directing attention to
lin, as we believe it will pay shippers
to familiarize themselves
With the service he is offering.-Adv.
