The warehouse agrees to accom-
pany each consignors' returns with

various grades and selling price of

grower an opportunity of knowing
relative values of his commodity as
well as the manufacturers needs.
It is agreed that the interpreted
ton of general market condition
values, and all other matters per-
tanning to the sale of the consignors
wool shall be left to the Company.
It is essential that someone assume
responsibility in such matters, as
immediate action is often required.
However, the Warehouse Company
welcomes and invites representatives
from the various organizations, and
consignors for whom the wool is
being handled, to the Warehouse for
the purpose of observing methods of
handling and .disposing of the wool.
Following are few suggestions
pertinent to proper handling and
shipping of Wool to the warehouse:
Do not use shipping tags for
marking shipments as they frequent
ly become lost and cause trouble.
In case shipment is made by local
freight. mark each and every sack
with name and address of consignor
and gross weight, with a small
brush, using paint or lampblack and
kerosene.
If shipment is made in carload
lots, use invoice blank which will be
furnished on application. Give
each shipper a lot number, mark
this number on all sacks shipped by
the consignor, together with gross
weight on each sack. Record lot
number, name and address of con-
signor. total number of sacks con-
signed, and gross weight of each
sack on invoice and forward toget-
her with Original Bill of Lading.
If a shipment is made via freight,
either local or car lot, send Original
Bill of Lading to the National Wool
Warehouses; Storage Co., 817 Ex-
change Ave-, Union Stock Yards,
Chicago. H., and not to the State
Representative, as the Ware house
Company IS the party that locates
and checks shipments.
Seven and one-haf foot, 31a
pound sacks are furnished by the
Warehouse Company to consignors
at cost, which at the present time
is 35 cents at Chicago.
Important: Do not put more than
one consignors' wool in one sack.
Pack sacks well, as they can be
handled to better advantage.
Freight need not be prepaid on
wool shipments. Freight will be
paid by the Warehouse Company and
deducted from returns.
