See Me Personally ‘Trial Free WALK DANCES 1 OR 2 LESSONS Private Halls STEVENS hd there was @ hint at publicity. It/ Says Local Woman! ‘| association EVERY RETAIL GROCE EVERY CONSUMER OF FOOD EVERY GROWERor PRODUCE SHOULD KNOW THESE FACTS Today in the City of Seattle a combine exists which Monopolizes the food market and dictates the price of these commodities. This combine consists of Seattle |dealers who are members of the Seattle Produce Asso- ciation and who, by threats and intimidations, conspire against any firm who refuses to become a member of this association, and attempt by fair means and foul to prevent said firm from doing business. The nfluence of the dominant members of the Se- attle Produce Association is not only felt in the Sea’ market, but its injurious effect extends over the state of Washington and the entire Pacific coast. In 1914 and 1915 Grossman Brothers were members of the Seattle Produce Association, but were forced to withdraw because said association, through its active members, attempt- ed to dietate the policy of their business. Grossman Brothers felt that years of experience in the trade made them fit and capable to conduct their own business. They refused to have the members of the association make their prices, select their customers and determine their profits. Grossman Brothers’ methods allowed a fair price to the grower and consumer and permitted a reasonable remuneration for their services— no one was taken advantage of, every one was satisfied, Then the dominant members of the association stepped in and de- manded that Grossman Brothers buy their produce th certain channels, that they ship only to certain localities and that in certain districts outside of this city they make the con- sumer or dealer pay the freight and cartage charges. In other words, the association prohibited Grossman Brothers from prepaying freight or equalizing rates. However, active members of the association established outside branches in the surrounding territory adjacent to Seattle, and t! these stores sold the local dealers and consumers at the same price established in Seattle without the added charges for freight, cartage, etc. ‘Through this method they absol j¢eliminated Grossman Brothers as competitors and costae controlled the markets scattered through the different sections of the Northwest. The result was that Grossman Brothers, to preserve their business, built up by years of fair dealing, were forced to with- draw and are today successfully opposing the combine, adjust- ing their own prices, selecting their own market and dic- tating their own policy. The present market on sweet pota- toes aptly illustrates the effect of the association's mapner of controlling prices. The consumer is paying 25¢ for five pounds of sweet tatoes when, according to the supply and the present state of the market, he should receive seven uinds. Why does this condition exist? Because through the manipulations of leading members of the Seattle Produce Association but one j broker is permitted to ship sweet potatoes to this and the dealer must buy through him and pay the price he The grower doesn't get any more for his erop, the cost of bringing it here is no greater, but the selling price has beem increased 60 per cent to admit a greater profit for the big six, and Grossman Brothers do not have access at any price to the tons of 6weet potatoes now being shipped to this center, Brokers who represent outside shippers and growers of sweet potatoes and other produce from all parts of the United States, snowing the position of Grossman Brothers, both from a financial andpoint as well as a standpoint of business ability, have ex- pressed a willingness and @ desire to market their product threagh this firm, but these brokers have been warned and threatened with a boycott by the members of the association ff they sold s pound of sweet potatoes through any Channels other than the members of the This is only one instance which serves to tilustrate the outrageous practices the members of the association resort to, to re- strain trade. The same condition exists in the buying and eelling of other commodities. The same proportionate increases are being paid by the consumers for many other articles, and for no reason except to swell the purses of the members of the Seattle Produce Association. The mouthpiece of the Western Ave. combine, the Northwestern Merchant, hands out gross misrepresentation. As usual, only their particular side of the affair is mentioned. Here are the facts Grossman Brothers have been in business in Seattle for years; they never at any time have sold out any part of their business to any cne, They merely sold their lease, with a view to securing a more | Suitable location for their business, which was easily done, Sympathy is not what they want, as the combine claims, but what they do want and have a perfect right to, is the privilege of buying their produce in the proper channels of trade, for cash, without the in- | tarterense and intimidation of this Weatern Ave. octopus—the eom- pine. It is an easy matter, in most cases, for a monopoly to put an indi- vidual coneern out of business—that's what monopolies are for, but in this case it is going to be a fight to a finish. Grossman Hrothers refuse to be dictated to by any combine in either the matter of price regulation or anything pertaining to their business that will tend to unnecessarily increase the cost of produce to the consumer, For émstance, take the sweet potato situa- tion, Not a broker or member of the combine which has for some ime controlled the sweet potato market will sell sweet potatoes to Grossman Brothers, for fear the combine would beyeott them, This made it necessary for Grossman Brothers to get a car of sweet potatoes shipped direct to them, and as a resuit the price on “sweets” went from $3.25 per ewt, down to $2.25 per cwt., with nothing else to warrant this vig reduction excepting Grossman Brothers’ action, The ordinary re duction in the California market was 25c per cwt., while in Seattle it was one dollar, Doesn't this give you some idea of what one firm can do which |has the courage to put up a fight? This reduction will affect other | produce if Grossman Brothers get the support of the merchants and | public they deserve. In their prejudiced arucle, attention is called to \the shipments of Imperial Valley cantaloupes into Seattle, It is claim- ed that none of this fruit was shipped on-consignment, whereas, ag a | matter of fact, they were consigned to a broker representing the Call- ltornia people, after which they were re-consigned to thy combine and others, but not to Grossman Brothers, who were excluded entirely al- though they were willing to pay spot cash. Grossman Brothers conduet a general produce business and cater directly to those firms which sell to the consumer, In some cases they extend free delivery in their desire to place the produce as cheaply as | possible in the merchant's store, This is another sore point with the jgombine, which has abolished free delivery and other economic service that lowers the price of foodstuffs. Do you believe in fair play? Do you believe that honest, honor- able treatment should have its just reward? Do you believe in equity and justice? Do you believe, like we do, that a reasonable profit is enough, and that the consumer also has his rights? If you do believe these things, and you are a grower, ship your products to Grossman Brothers, If you are a consumer, patronize the retail dealers who buy their products from this firm, and thereby signify your willingnese to help them win this fight. In the end the law will protect them, but now they need your help. If you are a grower, Grossman Brothers will sell your produce on the usual commission basis, with no added charges, If you conduct a restaurant or hotel, or if you are a retail dealer, they will deliver free of charge to any point in the downtown business district, or to any wharf, railroad, auto freight or interurban station, If you doubt these statements, if you think this idle talk—ask your grocer; he knows; he's felt the pressure of the combine. He'll tell you that Grossman Brothers are Conducting a clean, honorable and satisfactory commission business and that they deserve the help of every fair-minded citizen in the Northwest. When you patronize Grose- man Brothers, you encourage freedom in business, legitimate com; tition and a stricter observance of the rights and privileges of buying public GROSSMAN BROS.
