By this I mean an additional store which will take the vegetables that are left over and those. not in perfect condition. “When 1 started in this business 1 had but one store. Although I was a careful, conservative buyer in green goods I found that no matter how pru- dent and how calculating I might be many times great quantities of vege- tables remained unsold, eating up all the profits of the part which I had dis- posed of. Indeed, the loss on them often exceeded the profits on those sold. “I attempted.to remedy this by pur- chasing small ‘§uantities. But on nu- merous occasions I ran woefully short. “I thought over several remedies, but they all had some shortcoming. At length I hit on a scheme which proved to be feasible. . It required a partner. 1 had little trouble in securing a practi- cal, hard worker. “The next thing was to get a ‘paying store in a suitable location.
