WOOL DEPOT. 



Richmond, June 22, 1834. 



Dear Sir, — Having been engaged for years past in the sale of "Wool, we are fully aware of the difficulties that the 

 .Wool Growers of this State have labored under to obtain for their Wool its fair market value. For this there are two 

 causes — one is, that in each lot of Wool, indeed in each bag of Wool, there are several grades, and each purchaser has 

 to buy some wool that does not answer his purposes; he could not therefore, afford to pay the full value for an article 

 that he did not want, arid which he only bought because it was not assorted. All who are familiar with the sale' of 

 tobacco, are fully aware of the loss that the planter sustains who does not assort his tobacco. It is the same case with 

 .Wool, to a considerable extent, ' 



Another reason is, that, the receipts of Wool have been light, and so scattered that it was difficult to get together a 

 sufficient quantity to attract the attention "of purchasers. We have found this operate so strongly that we have not 

 generally attempted to majfe sale of small parcels of Wool, but allowed our receipts to accumulate; and we have 

 generally obtained from three to five cents per pound more fbr such large parcels than could be had for small lots. The 

 Wool interest of Virginia is now rapidly increasing, and we think is destined, in a short time, to become an extensive 

 trade. Already there is a sufficient quantity grown, if concentrated to one point and properly graded, to overcome, to 

 some extent, the difficulties referred to above'. ' We think 'this can be best occomplished by a well conducted Wool 

 Depot. This city appears to be the most accessible point for a majority of the Wool Growers of Virginia. 



Being already in this trade, : and having an extensive acquaintance with the producers as well as the manufacturers 

 and dealers in Wool, we have determined to open such a Depot in this city, in connection with our present business. 

 In order to conduct it in the most satisfactory manner, Ave have engaged the serviced of Mr. John Waterhouse, who 

 was long and fivoiably knovf n as the efficient Agent of the late Woollen Factory in this city. 



All the Flee.ce Wool sent to us and tub washed Wool, so far as it is practicable, will be graded, and each quality put 

 together, unless the owner prefers that his Wool should be sold alone — in that event he will so direct us. 

 ■ Our charges will be — 



Commission for selling, ? ;..2j percent. 



Storage, grading, fire insurance, advertising and labor, - . . . ..\ eent pe* lb. 



We shall always sell for cash, unless we find it to the interest of the owners to sell on time. In that event, we will 

 charge 2h per cent, guarantee." We will be prepared to cash all such sales as soon as made, deducting the interest. 



We hope the establishment of such a Depot will meet with your approval, and that we may be favored with your 

 consignments. Yours, most obedient, CRENSHAW & CO., 



Grocers and Commission Merchants, North Side of the Basin, Richmond, Va. 

 %t^° Liberal advances will be made on consignments of AVoqI, when required.
