of the cash buyer that has been seen in

appears IN q recent issue of the kenne.

heart. will walk up like man and buy

own selling agency. II the so-called
cash buyer refuses to play the game
square with you, Mr.. Grower, through
your hired man down in the red ware
house on the railroad track, how the
devil do you figure that he will play
square with you out in the patch? You
have put yourself to some truoble and
expense for the convenience of this
cash buyer. You are maintaining a
warehouse where he may call, inspect
and buy your berries on exactly equal
terms with every other buyer. Now. IL
be really wants your berries and has
the money to pay for them, why don't
be 60 down to the Union headquarters
and buy them, instead of paying you a
personal call out on the ranch? If he
is really itching with desire to pay 10
cents crate above the market price,
the Imam down at the warehouse will
take his money and at the same time
save him something on his gasoline
bill. The safest course to pursue with
such callers is to set the dog on them

and packing and deliverisg your ber-
ries to the place you have designated as
your marketing headquarters, where
there are men whom you are paying to
