TO Be OUTLINED

The assessors of the state of Idaho

nounced last night that it is his desire,
the desire of members of the board of

would like to meet the state board of

SELLING COST REDUCED.

"As illustrating the economical bene-
fits derived from the new system, the
selling costs have been reduced ap-
proximately $12.50 per car. and offer
room for still further reduction to the
grower members of the various sub
central organizations. The value of
placing northwest salaried represent
atives In the markets. Is shown by the
fact that 10 per cent of the 1915 ton
age was sold by those offices direct,
thus making the aggregate cost for
brokerage nominal. The direct bene-
fits to eac, shipping local and district
lie in the advantages each one re-
ceives by dealing direct with the mar
kets, and specializing It's products by
It's own efforts and in its own chosen
manner. Thus small md large asso-
ciated organizations alike have all the
benefits of an established organization,
which during the past four seasons,
have made a distribution record of
more than $50 different markets used.
Each shipping local is thus brought in
to immediate contact with all markets,
and the conditions prevailing from day

SURPASSED EXPECTATIONS.

This method was used for the first
time in marketing the p. sent season,
and In effectiveness, surpassed all en-
pectations. Through it, the North
Pacific Fruit Distributors, previously
the central sales organization, became
the field sale organization, with head
quarters at Chicago. The various dis
trict associations composing it-called
sub-centrals, became the direct sales
agencies for their respective members,
using the field forces rs a common
source for covering the markets and
reaching the trade first hand. This
system gave opportunity not only for
ideal team work, but also for the ex-
ploitation of each district and locality
from both the shipping en1 and in the
markets. Tn. general combination is
given the credit for very successful
outcome. 1t clearly proved to be far
more productive in efficiency and eco
nomical operation than under central
lied sales effort at the shipping end
alone. The eastern sales headquar-
ters at Chicago ar to b. continued,
and the salaried bra Ach offices will be
extended so as to cover all important
IN 4rketing zones. The Spokane office
pf the executive secretary of the North
Pacific Fruit Distributors will be given
added covers and responsibilities.

the fourth Tuesday of thi smonth has
been suggested and it is probable that

what we want to arriv2 at Is a
fair means Of assessing the property

ization will result in much good and
for that reason have decided to issue a

fore desire an early conference. If they
meet here this month they will have
the advantage Of converting while the
