II had long been the dream Of

Once getting a foothold in that dr.

their operations. At first difficulty
was found locating one that could

We suspect II is a lean time for
the commission men.
We surmise that these days the
country storekeeper doesn't gather
all tine eggs OF his district. and
let them stand around a hot stove
for week or two before sending
them 20 the city Jobber.
The farm butcher now brings
his carcasses to the market place
and does his own carving, and gets
the retail price.
The rural arnokehouse sends it's
delectables To town. and the family
purse Is plethoric.
The clever Oriental showed us
that the selling end OF the farm

than the producing end. and today
these big city markets hold scores
Of American producers who are
selling fresh from the farm every.
thing produced there.
II Is good business; II gives the
producer about all his harvest ls
