WAREHOUSE is
BOUGHT BY
COOPERATIVE
8 Rivers Service Corp. Buys
Warehouse of Kennewick
Supply & Storage GOWN
Enlarge Facilities for Pack
ing and Handling.

The 8 Rivers Service Corpora
tion yesterday closed a deal for
the purchase of the warehouse and
plant of the Kennewick Supply &
Storage Co., the building now oc-
cupied by the 8 Rivers Growers
association. The new owners will
not take possession of the property
until the first of the year.
The property consists of the
large warehouse and packing
rooms ands the preceding and
storage plant, located near the N.
P. station.
The Service corporation is a
subsidiary branch of the 8 Rivers
Growers association and was form
ed for the purpose of preparing
the growers crops for market and
supplying the membership with
material. 1t was formed last year
and got into active work this
spring when the various crops sold
by the association were sorted,
graded and packed for shipment.
Their principal activity this year
was in packing the cherry crop,
which was the largest this valley
has ever experienced. Until this
year the Association has had the
packing and handling of its pro.
i cts done by outside wora on a
p>- Package basis. This year this
work was done by the subsidiary
prgan.zaticn and !, substantia.
saving was made in The costs.
Wits greatly Increased tom

ties for handling their crops was
felt necessity. The plans include
doubling the equipment for hand
ling the cherry crop by the install
lation of another belt and rear
rangement of the packing rooms.
The offices will be moved to the
lower floor.
No attempt will be made by the |
Service corporation to finance the |
members. However, supplies may |
be obtained by giving the service |
branch an order on the parent or
ganization, In this manner the
shook and supplies can be pur-
chased in large quantities and can
be financed, the savings to go to
the growers.
eve have felt the need of own
ing building for several years"
said Mr.. Lampson, manager of the |
Rivers, ssand we have been scout
ing around for proposition for
some time. This deal was espec-
tally fortunate for us, as We were :
able to secure the property at 3
price considerably less than we
could get anything else like it for.
The savings we were able to make !
on packing and handling, as shown
by our experience this year, viii |
pay for the new plant in a COM
paratively short time. and the di-
rectors feel that the service cor
poration was move in the pro-
per direction. A study OF the sue
cess of all the big and going CO.
operative associations reveals the
fact that the selling end is a sep
arate branch of the business, while
the mechanical part of the fruit
game is a business all its own.
This is the outstanding feature Of
all successful cooperative organ
izations."

NEW YORK. January 2i--An I'M
dertone OF flrmness ran through the
Erief session Of the bond market today
but trading was again in relatively small
palae Price changes in few instances
amounted TO more than small fractions.
and the appearance of hesitancy which
has characterized the list for ito weeks
was still present. Traders continued To
watch closely for tangible evidences OF
a shift in the trend OF the money
market.
The volume of new issues during the
week was not heavy enough 10 exert any
particular pressure on listed mortgages.
except that there were evidences that
fair proportion of the usual January
reinvestment demand was being sup
piled By new bonds. The weeks aggre-
gate, approximately Sl20000, 900, was
practically on a level with the total for
the week before. Preliminary estimates
of new offerings to cover next week IN
dictate that the volume will again exceed
the 500. 900 900 mark.
Railroad bonds again gained favor in
the listed market. Canadian National
Railways As. Rocks Island As and IS
and Chesapeake Corporation SIS were
slightly higher on moderate buying.
Missouri Pacific SIS were accumulated in
nominal amounts. but there was some
liquidation of the roads general Is.
Public utilities and industrials reflect
ed some liquidation. Pierce Arrow 8s
were especially heavy. A few issues in
these groups moved against the general
trend. American Telephone SIS and In

lowed a steady course. with business in
