Mt. Vernon
To the Wool Growers of Knox, Morrow, Licking and
RichIand Counties:

Richand Counties:
We throughout these counties notice in the
columns of The Banner Of May the 9th article rejecting upon
us, buyers statements made by which representations that
have made to buy woos not being true Also statement
in this column profits of which take the liberty to
m before the readers which do not really think
believe statements made by these parties like the gold
brick salesman if followed closely will reveal by such statements
their interests. While have been in business for thirty
this business force then and
to the world by placing goods and taking them and giving
you what left after dcducng their commissions which al
to be deducted And told such commissions
reasonably and well worth five and oneaf cent While
not soliciting congnmcnts at the present time will
ing to handle pay the for to cent and this
ganZtiOn wool association is sighted in
not seeking broader market than Columbus Ohio and Wheeling
w. and the facts and statements brought before that the
dealers getting 1917 per cent for handling wool will give you
few figures how they must have received such amount
bought Mr. Walkers wool in 1918 at Tic and sold at 72c about
w cent advance well other woods in this county
to about 100000 lbs. in ALL While buyers, furnish the
paid for it delivery, received cent for this transac
o and of the kind and deal less
it has been the rule by the socalcd spectators to
d. for buying taking n and sackng and caltagc and
make all the possible deductions from the 1c h. that they
possibly take and cndeavo1s tell you in order to buy
ing at the socaled higher prices that 5 cent is cheaper for
the gowcran y per His statement that there 40 men
this county drawing to collect your wool at approx
tcy average salary OF SlOOOOO We do not believe that
there 40 within the county but if they all received the
salary and commission the writer of that article they
would doubt receive much higher total than he states
AS far know there has not been pound of wool
signed the states from which operate They have
two million and half consigned but is is in his mind and not
bills of ladg The statement that wool has gone from SOC
63c is like the child that born and manhood and he
the of it, but far woods concerned four weeks
manufacturers baris and knowing the supply of old woos
to be in large supply overlooked the fact that the large supply
made up and consisted mostly of coarse WOOL boods and
low grades And the supply of good Dcanc Ohio Woods such
Knox county has equal The markets bare and by the
demands for these woods carried the advance local market
and not by the wool agent but the old rule of supply and
demand such Chamber of Commerce of Nit. Vernon is
looking for for its people, and good live buyer Not the least but
why does the agent submit the offer of these woods the
trade where the mills located in New England states
under competitive business instead of giving 5 per cent Of
your money without for all know giving the best of service
AS this to by the notation that there fight the
price referred indicates and We do consider
fighting anyone buying the growers wool and paying for it,
and whether cosgn your wool or sell it, hope yon
get the best results for all We thank for their pat
loage the past and ask that think well for yourselves when
at the roads before colsignng.
