EFFECT OF TBADE LISTS. 



[An extract from an address by Jim Parker, of 

 Tecnmseh, Okla., at the St. Louis convention 

 of the American Association of Nurserymen.] 



It seems to me that the discussion of 

 the question of "Who Are Entitled to 

 Trade Lists!" has, underlying it, the 

 fundamental doctrine of the greatest 

 good for the greatest number. That 

 sounds like good philosophy. 



Now, just what occurs if tliese trade 

 prices are sent to the planters? First 

 let me ask you if you ever saw a bar- 



fain counter rush to buy cheap trees 

 rem the local nurseryman or from a 

 delivery yard? You never did, and 

 you won't see mail trains overloaded 

 with orders in reply to special prices 

 to planters. The people want quality 

 rather than cheapness and they are a 

 little suspicious of bargain lots. Again, 

 when a farmer writes a wholesaler for 

 prices it seems that he already had his 

 mind made up to buy. Most likely he 

 is acting for others in the community, 

 as well as for himself. The farmers, as 

 well as the nurserymen, are clannish. 

 There is some retail nurseryman who 

 is on the job trying to get this business, 

 and who is in most cases entitled to it. 

 When the farmer receives these prices 

 he gets cold feet on the proposition 

 of sending cash with order. No prom- 

 ise of good stock is worth a copper to 

 hina that does not carry with it the 

 idea that he c^n paj»f on the worth or 

 worthlessness of the goods before he 

 pays for them. In a majority of cases 

 he TfM'tibuy. He wiH*oriy use his 

 Pj^SiP liit.iilt a Isimragn to b e a r' duvni 

 prices with the local salesman. But
