NET WITH REPRESENTATIVE OF
W0OLWAREHOUSE COMPANY

A meeting OF the wooigrowers was
held at the Elks Club Tuesday after
noon last to discuss with the Nation
al Wool Warehouse & Storage Co.'S
representative, F. C. Palmer, the new
forms of contracts for handling the
1923 wool clip. w. w. Daley and w.
A. Mckay. both directors OF the
Warehouse Co. were present at the
meeting.
Mr.. Daley and Mr.. Palmer ex-
planned to those present the 1928
plans which are briefly as follows:
The woolgrowers of the west. hav-
ing formed this selling agency for
the better marketing and handling of
western woods, must now come to the
front and support 1t or 1t will be
necessary for the Warehouse Co. to
go out of business. If this should be
done the woolgrower would be left
without any organized selling agency
for the handling Of their product and
would be again at the mercy of the
dealers as they were prior to the
forming of this company.
A form OF pledge contract has
been drawn up by the Warehouse
company in which the ~woolgroweI
does not forfeit the right to dispose
of his wool, but in case he does dis
pose OF his wool he is to pay the
Warehouse company one-half cent
per pound on the sale. This half
cent is mighty good insurance con-
sidering the benefit the woolgrowers
derive by the activity Of the Ware
house company.
1t was the opinion Of the wool
growers present that this proposition
was a very fair one and those present
expressed themselves as being well
satisfied.

meeting were John Mahoney. A.
