i EfegoTeh THE KLAMATH Established A weekly paper for the men and womefr employed in the lumber industry of Klamath County. Issued Itvery Wednesday. A. H. Raymond Wednesday, RIGHT OF ELECTION The problem involved in the displacement of the wood en box as against the fiber container, in its final analysis, is an economic one and the challenge, to be successfully met, must be made along this line. The right of election jof the purchaser will govern if he can make himself ef fectively felt. The suggestion made by Frank Blagen, manager Davies-Johnson Lumber Co., Galpine, Califor nia, that the buyer must not only nominal the type of container he desires the goods packed in but he must eienifv his willingness to pay any slight increase in cost imposed by the manufacturer between goods packed in fiber containers; if such be a just one, strikes at the very kernel of this controversy. It puts the question of elecr tion squarely up to every logger and lumberman in plac ing orders for goods. It tests his sincerity and if con scientiously carried but will bring results. j In the campaign for the wooden box the entire lumber industry is called to support one of its branches by means of buyer s demand. Commissaries in logging camps and mill towns are issuing orders with the instructions "Ship this order in Wooden Boxes." This is a case of the in dustry utilizing the right of election to protect itself. Willingness to pay the justified price makes the cam paign ironclad. The manufacturer, ianner or baker who caters to the business of the lumber industry may be enterprising enough to see that this demand, coming from the large group as it does, may be the means for greater volume in his individual business. Thus he can join in with their demands, let it be known that he is shipping his goods in wooden boxes and by reason of the increas ed volume of business, he can absorb the small differ ence.'if any, betiveen the cost of the wooden box and the fiber box, making less profit per item but far greater in the aggregate than he did before. The question is raised by some dealers, however, as to the right of the buyer to elect the type of container in which his goods shall be shipped. To this it need merely be noted that the dealer considers the cost of the con tainer in quoting the price of his product to the ruyef and the buyer, therefore, pays for the container. If the - buyer desires a wooden container and' ds"willing''to; jpy the additional cost, he is simply naming yitfiat he .wishes Jto purchase and he cannot be denied fne right to desig nate what he desires to buy. It is notWmJOninfon, how Sever, for the seller to be in a position to disregard the grants of the buyer but this is not a natural state and will "riot prove profitable in the long run. :; It is through failure to review the history of containers 'it that a dealer is prompted to answer the demands of the 'lumber buyers with arguments .that he cannot cany sep-J araie stocks oi gooas in wooaen poxes tor one group. Wooden boxes were used exclusively before the days of the fiber box. The change was made to f iberbj? the seller and not due to the demands of the buyer. 1 The ad vent ol tne fiber box is therefore merely upon.the approv al of the buyer. The wooden box has undisputed merits a assures against breakage more reliable as a container ject to moisture and hard usages in transportation to dis tant logging camps and messhouses in badly adapted ve hicles of transport. The lumber industry has elected the wooden box as the type of container for the goods they purchase. This is within their rights and the adjust ment should be made. The 4L Bulletin.
