Buy Binder Irvine Now

1t was considered that retail
dealers could protitably handle
binder Irvine on a margin of Ike
per pound this season, but it
was finally concluded that this
margin is too small in view of
the risk assumed.
The Food Administration there
fore revised the recommendations
to the above effect, and advises
that a margin OF, &c per pound
cash, or it's equivalent, and 2Ic
per pound on time, with freight
added from factory, above the
Manufacturers price of 23c per
pound, will not be considered I'M
reasonable by it.
The Food Administration gives
the following reasons for mOdi-
flying its former tentative recon-
mendations:
First; The Irvine will have to
be ordered unusually early on &C.
count of slow freight movement,
caused by unusal demands on
the railways.
Second: Early shipments and
the necessarily high prices of
Irvine will increase the financial
responsibility of the retail dealer
Third; 1t is desirable to facil
itate a free distribution of Irvine
and to warrent the dealers in
carrying a stock adequate to pro
vide for the the harvest of 1918
Fourth: The increased cost of
doing businiss during the war
shows that pre.war margins
need modification to this extent.
1t is very essential that farm.
ers place their orders for binder
twine as soon as possible, so that
local dealers can provide by eaa.
~ shipments for enough twlne
to meet the arvestrequirements
Shipping conditions are such
Thai ample time must be allowed
from factory to local dealers to
avoid danger of shortage in sup.
ply.
