COMMISSIONEE OF AGRICULTURE 253 



Many changes are liable to take place in this list due to death, 

 retirement from business, discontinuance of commission business, 

 change in business organization, revocation of license, bankruptcy, 

 etc. 



It is, therefore advisable, before making a shipment of produce, 

 that the shipper should ascertain whether the party to whom he 

 intends shipping same handles that kind of produce and in what 

 quantities, and whether or not such party is duly licensed as a 

 commission merchant and is still engaged in the sale of farm 

 produce on commission. 



It will greatly assist the commission merchant in handling pro- 

 duce expeditiously and in finding a good market therefor if the 

 shipper will advise him of the kind, quality, and approximate time 

 of arrival of goods shipped and to be shipped. 



All complaints should be promptly made and addressed to the 

 Department of Agriculture, Albany, "N. Y., and should contain a 

 full statement of facts upon which same are based. 



The licenses of all parties listed herein expired by limitation on 

 July 1, 1916.
