HOT LAKE, OREGON WILL Bell four acres on Merlin road for J 300 if taken at once. Half mile from Lawnrldge addi tion. McCracken. Courier office. The new commission firm of H. M. Axtell and Company is meeting with great success in disposing of its first shipment of fruit and prod uce, and from the encouragement given them by the merchants of this city generally they expect to do a first-class business and be of mutual benefit to the merchants and pro ducers alike, which will work to the good of the consumer as well. Mr Axtell says that while his first ship ment was a mixed car lot, be still Is able to meet the Medford commis sion merchants' prices. This class of merchandise has come principally from Medford heretofore. He says Le can practically lay down produce in Grants Pass from Sacramento, Cat., at the same rate as is paid from Med ford here, which makes a saving to the local merchant of from 20 to 30 cents per hundred; and when bis business warrants him in buying fruit and vegetables direct from the California Growers' association in full car lots, the rates will be materi ally lower. In speaking of his undertaking Mr. Axtell said that he will get in close touch with all local growers and Instead of letting the home mar ket become glutted at times with produce and fruit that merchants are really forced to buy to accom modate their farmer trade, and which many times prove a dead less to the merchants, the commission house will keep track of these local conditions and assemble carload ship ments for Portland, Klamath Falls, and, in some cases, Medford, with a return shipment of other produce His firm Is tabulating the names of the ranchers in this vicinity and as certaining the amount and kind of crons planted by each. With these farmers on the rural telephone line he is enabled to secure on short no tlce what he wants that is locally irrown and knows lust when and where to find It. The new commission company will buy any produce that Is marketable and pay cash for It. This, Mr. Ax tell claims, will be a great benefit to the farmer, as he will have cash to oo his trading with, instead of get tine due bills. The Ahlf block is Ideally' fitted with cold storage fa clllties for commission house pur Dcses and the company will have plenty of room. Prices will be regu lated by Portland quotations. There are 50 or more retail stores in the territory of which this city Is prop erly the distributing center. Grants Pass, Ore., April 4, 1911.
