MARKET PROBLEM |
HAS Been SOLVED.
IN BRYAN COUNTY.
Commercial Association Brings
Farmer and Buyer Together

DURANT, Okla, June l6-(Spc-
cial) -- The marketing problem IN
Bryan county has been solved by the
Durant commercial association, a com
munity organization OF business men
The association has made arrange
ments for fruit and vegetable buyers
to make this city their headquarters
during the harvest season, and has in
formed the farmers where they may
dispose of their products and at what
price Producers are urged in turn 10
give their addresses and details OF
what they have TO sell. in order that
the buyers may be kept informed and
in many cases sent TO them direct for
purchasing
The movement is being gratefully &C
cepted by Bryan county farmers, and
relieves them OF the dilemma of find
ing market for their products It
will doubtless make for greater eff
cheney in marketing and will prevent
much needless loss from rot occasioncd
by absence of purchasers.
