Q.—1s there any truth in the BY JULIA BLANSHARD NEA Service Writer New York, Feb. 9 — Lillian F. Fink is the only woman barrel brok- er on record, so far as is known. It is no wonder, considering just what hard work dealing in second- hand barrels entails, Old-timers along the wharves of Boston, Providence and other New England ports often have been startled on bitter cold winter dawns to sece 2 woman's figure bustling about, oversecing the longshoremen loading barrels on barges, checking the number and condition of the barrels and keeping tab on just how they are loaded. For Lillian Fink is no absentec dealer in barrels. Getting an order for thousands of ol barrels for some refinery in New Jersey, she goes in person to Boston, Providence, Cam- bridge or where she knows barrels are available at that moment. She bargains personally with 10 or 12 dealers who have the barrels, char- ters & barge to deliver them, picks up her own crew to load, sees the harge off and goes back to her New York office to catch her breath be- fore the next order. She's Barrel Wise She knows her barrels from the old oaken bucket up, “] got an education in barrels in- stead of college," is the way she puts it. *I quit high school to help my brother who was a barrel broker. #I started in business for myself the year after the war,” Miss Fink continued her story. “First I just had desk space, I started in such a small way, But I had taken care of 2ll my brother's orders for years, had personally bought and sold for him and I knew the market, Now I handle almost half a million barrels yearly. “They are called ‘tights, sccond-hand barrels, used mostly for oil Some arc bought ’ ny_—1€ @ line.
