THE MANIFEST. 
The manifest (Form 2) is written up by the agent as the car is 
loaded, and shows the name of the station where loaded, date, car 
initials and number, growers' names and addresses, and contents, 
segregated as to grades. It serves primarily as a manifest of the 
contents of the car, but later the distribution of the returns received 
for the shipment is made on this form, and the account sales are 
written up from it. The total of the amounts to be distributed to 
the growers, less the commission, must equal the "amount due 
growers/ ' as shown on the car envelope (Form 5). 
The receipts, manifest, and original and triplicate bills of lading 
are sent to the office by the agent. When disposition has been made 
of the car, the name and address of the consignee is placed on the 
manifest and the shipment or envelope number is also inserted at 
the top of the sheet.
