NEW PROBLEMS
OF MARKETING
POINTED OUT
Lee Lampson Discusses Col
lective Buying Power of
Jobber Organizations at g.
Rivers Growers Assn. Meet

Collective buying power is being
developed everywhere, according
to Lee III. Lampson, manager OF
the 3-Rivers Growers association,
who returned Saturday from an
extensive trip through the Middle
West in which he visited many OF
the markets and who discussed
the marketing problems of aspar-
agus, Strawberries, potatoes and
cherries at the annual meeting OF
the 3-Rivers Growers association
in the Moose hall Monday.
"Where the jobbers are organ
lied, they control the market and
distribution of produce" Mr.. Lamp.
SON stated. sThis presents vast.
ly different problem than hereto
fore. Most of the jobbers' organi.
cations have been formed within
the last two years.
However, they work to the ad.
vantage of the producing district
as long the producing district
is organized.
Concentrated selling is necess.
airy to cope with concentrated buy
ing. The seller is shut out of the
market entirely sometimes, but
when he does sell, this method
prevents loss on cars, because they
are entirely cleaned up.
Buyers, who are organized
prefer to buy from organized sell
ing districts, because of standard
ization and shipping methods.
"The marketing problems of diff
ferent products vary because OF
the different methods of buying 2
Mr.. Lampson pointed out. mAspar-
agus, for instance, is all sold on
a private sale basis and sold to a
pool committee or individuals, while
cherries, in contrast, are virtually
all sold on auction
The 3-Rivers Growers associa-
tion has been strictly selling or
ganization. The 3-Rivers service
corporation was organized last
spring to furnish supplies and to
handle warehouse facilities for the
3-Rivers Growers association. 1t is
a separate organization.
The plan of having a subsidiary
corporation has worked out sue
ceSSfully elsewhere, Mr.. I,ampson
states.
A. L. Hamming of Richland,
George Sellick of Finley and James
Johnston of Kennewick were all
reelected to the board of directors
at the annual meeting.

TUBERCULOSIS
SEAL SALE
STARTS HERE
Kennewick Assigned $165.00,
Part Of Which Returns to
Community Through Ser
vices of a Nurse.

Kennewick has been assigned
$165.00 to raise through the sale
of Christmas greeting seals by
the Washington tuberculosis as
sociation, according to Mrs. Larry
Oliver, chairman. This amount
is about double that of last year.
However, part of this money
comes back to the community
through the services of a nurse,
who works under the direction of
the association.
This is part of fleet of 22,000,-
600 ships which were launched the
day after Thanksgiving to present
s"tuberculosis insurance" to every
person in Washington through the
Christmas seals.
These Christmas seal ships were
designed by the famous artist-en-
graver, John w. Evans of Brook
lyn, New York. They carry car
go of good wishes for health and
happiness to all and bring back
funds to finance the volunteer
fight against tuberculosis during
1929.
Every advertising medium in
Washington has been employed to
tell the story of the campaign.
Beautiful posters are being dis
played in some three hundred To-
calities in the state through the
courtesy of the various posting
companies; window cards are
shown in the various business
houses, while attractive small
posters and street car cards greet
the eye at every turn.
Every county in the state is
thoroughly organized under the
leadership of county chairman,
each of whom is earnestly striving
to reach the highest per capita
sale possible. Five seals is the min
imum goal. A majority of the
counties exceeded this figure in the
sale last year, Lincoln county
leading the state with a per capita
sale of 1878, with Mason only two
seals behind. Clallam came third
with sale of 90 per capita.
Seals furnish funds to finance
the educational and preventative
work against tuberculosis and
everyone interested is thus given
an opportunity to participate. They
cost but a penny each and are a
welcome addition to any letter or
package.
The sale closes Christmas Eve.

audience, which made up in ap-
siouse what it lacked in numbers.
The house was about two-thirds

part of the success of the sec

covered up stage business in be-
tueen scenes and carried the perl
formance from act to act. Mrs. HI.

ceptional ability, contributed vast
" to the performance. The other
factor, which improved the second
