it," said Charles II. Crawford Of the

tinued. Thereby hangs quite q tale.
Back in June. 1920. the association

wool clip. 1t was graded and shipped
to Boston, where we had already con-
tracted with n broker to market it
direct to the wooden mills. But, be-
fore that wool had reached its des-
tination, the market vas completely
demoralized. the mills on all sides
closed down and no one dared buy
wool at any price. making it ncCes-
sary to place the 1920 clip in storage
After holding the wool for several
months. it was found that the mar
ket had not improved enough to give
q satisfactory return to the produc-
ers. The directors of the association,
realizing that the farmers in many
cases badly needed the money due
them for this wool, decided that the
only possible way to realize on it,
would be to have it manufactured
and the manufactured products sold
to the people direct.
THE products proved to he so high
ly satisfactory that it was soon de-
cidod to manufacture the entire pool,
