Efforts to do business in Indiana

Epstein said, and felt assured that
he could have done a good volume

Ward Company in Indianapolis"
said the sales manager of the Mis-
sion Dry Company. ut was not in
position to handle our product,
but referred me to the j. c. Perry
Grocery Company.
Before calling on this concern, I
talked to officials of the Klee &
Coleman Bottling Company, Mr..
Klee giving me the dope on the i'm
porters.
II talked to a Mr.. Burke (John
Burke is one of the importers for
this district, who was in charge OF
the importers Office and he was
much enthused over our product.
Our discounts on a 60,0O0-pound
car are Is per cent, per cent and
2 per cent, sight draft bill of fading
attached. Mr.. Burke suggested that
l go out and sell the fifteen licensed
wholesalers, getting their certified
checks with the orders. When 1 had
completed sale of the carload, he
would give me my order.
THE wholesalers were to receive
IS and per cent, the importer to
keep the 5 per cent for his efforts.
Il asked what the importer did
to earn this. The answer was, we
take up the draft when the car ar
rives.'
The j. G. Perry company was in
terested in buying a carload, but Of
ficers explained that they could not
control any item as long as the i'm
porter situation exists"
Advised of EpSteins statement,
Burke said:
I'VE don't want any wine" and
intimated that the terms of the
Mission company were unsatisfac-
tory.
Referring to Epstein's complaint
concerning the per cent cut for
importers, Burke said:
What does he expect-that we
will handle it for nothing?"

North took the bidding to six
hearts. South now showed spade
support with a bid of six spades.
This allowed North to bid seven
spades, as he now had found a home

South is definitely marked with
the ace of hearts, due to the fact
that when West overcalled with two
