New Firm to Handle Potatoes on Commission.

Will Occupy Bailey Warehouse Near Stock Yards.

 

            Last week Soren Jensen and Cal Sutton started in the potato business in the Bailey warehouse near the stock yards and will handle farmers’ potatoes on commission, charging four cents per bushel for handling and selling the stock when shipped in bulk.  When shipped in sacks the charge will be enough more to pay for cost of sacks. They began in a small way but stock is coming in faster than cars can be procured.  The outlook is now good however for better car service in the immediate future on both roads and for all shippers.
