Show CO-OPERATION IN "WOOL. There is being presented to the wool-men wool-men of Utah, and the presentation will continue for some days, a proposition which seems very clearl' to be to their advantage. Mj. John D. JTolliday, president of tho National Wool Warehouse Ware-house fc Storage Company, is presenting present-ing the proposition. He is supported by McssrE. Austin and McClure, and tho phowuig the' make is exceedingly favorable. Tn brief, the proposition is that tho woolgrowors of Utah affiliate with the National Wool Warehouse & Storage Companj' either through their local organization or direct as individuals. The purpose of this afiiliation is beneficial bene-ficial to the woolgrower and strengthening strength-ening to the National Association. This Association gives to the woolgrower every possible advantage that he can havo by affiliating with any local association, as-sociation, and more; and in addition it preserves his personal rights aud interests to the fullest possible extent. By affiliating with this National Association As-sociation the woolgrower has an alternative alter-native when tlio buyer presents himself. him-self. Tf the buyer does not meet the views of the grower, tho grower can deal through tho National Association in a way fully to protect himself, and at the same time give him the advantage advan-tage of a steady market and of advance upon his clip, which will put him in a better position than he could possibly achieve for himself. Besides ofl'oring the advantage of combination and co-operalion in handling hand-ling his wool, and obtaining the best possible price for it. the grower, by affiliating with tho National Association, Associa-tion, eato the advantage of nil the information in-formation which that Association has or acquires. This information is exceedingly ex-ceedingly vnluablo to tho woolgrower, in that it gives hhn. mouth by month, and yonr by year, the fullest details a$ to teat of hi; wool, a to percentage of the wool as shipped compared with the scoured basis, and details a to the bet possible moin of packing and shipping. In all those matters the individual in-dividual woolgrower is apt to bo vory much at lea. He does not know exactly ex-actly how his wool will turn out on tb scoured bains; he coo not know, year by year, just what ho can expect from lii flock, and ho does not know the standards and the bases upon which percentage are figured out. Tho buyer dois not. as a rule, inform him about nil this, boeaueo it is not to the buyer's iaterest to do so: but by affiliating with the National Association the grower i' f- rr'shed with nil this information, r -jt wiII bo rut j? ro?r?ion lk .i'b-' tutaiN, ,ot onu as ap plied to his own clip, but as applied to tho wool situation generally. Tho advantage of National association as compared with local association is precisely pre-cisely tho samo as strength compared with weakness. Presdont Holliday has had largo cx perienco in handling wool clips and in managing the affairs of the National Association. That Association has been in existence for four years and has attained at-tained a vory strong position. It will presently obtain a commanding position posi-tion in tho interests of the woolgrowors just as soon as those growers ascertain the advantages of afliliutiug with it, aud of having it as a recourse in case of doubt or dissatisfaction with the offers of buyers. This Association offers of-fers to the woolgrower tho fullest command .over his own clip, and at the .same time gives him the protection of its knowledge and experience. It is the hope of President Ilollidu- that the manifold advantages which ho has to present in favor of his National Association As-sociation will convinco tho Utah woo!-grower. woo!-grower. that it is to their advantage to affiliate with his Association, and so derive for themselves the advaulagc which is certain to follow their afiiliation. afiilia-tion. Tho presentation seems to bo a perfectly plain case, and. wo look to see the-woolgrowors of Utah como Into lino in support of tho National Association Associa-tion just as soon as thoy learn tho advantages ad-vantages of so doing, for these advantages ad-vantages are ovident and there seem to bo no practical drawbacks. |
