A Little Flyer in Boxes
(Continued (him Page 7)
though one stiff loss would wipe mo
out Just now."
The mill president considered this
point from all angles, and finally, for
reasons best known to hlmselr, he de
cided to take a chance on Reuben K.
Pitcher. And with tho business which
had taken him north successfully con
summated, that gentleman next de
cided to cast about him for tho sell
ing agency of a spruce box factory, a
side line of sound, well-mado spruco
box shook promising to add mate
rially to his Income.
Quito early In his stay at Hoqulam,
Pitcher had observed a modest Httlo
factory on tho bay shore at tho east
ern end of tho town. Ho had ob
served also a tremendous pile of box
wood at tho end of tho elevator that
carried tho wasto from the saws, and
the thought had occurred to him:
"Hero is a man with a well equipped
little plant, but ho 1b n't making any
money. I'll call on him, and if ho
needs a selling agent, I'll put him
wlso to a few things."
UPON completing his business with
the WIshkah Company, there
fore, Reuben K. called at tho of-
flco of tho Washington Box Factory
and sent In his card to tho manager,
who presently came In from tho fac
tory. Ho was a sad man, who chewed
tobacco, and the rim of his hat was
heavily laden with flno sawdust;
which fact did not escape tho eagle
eyo of Rube Pitcher for ho saw at
onco that tho manager had been
running spruco boards through a
planer Infallible evidence that his
cash reserve was low, and that ho
was endeavoring to eliminate ex
pense by doing himself the work of a
hired man. Ho shook hands and said
his name was Henry Peets; that ho
owned tho factory which was fully
insured, and hoped, by all tho gods,
pagan and otherwise, it might catch
fire and burn to tho foundation tim
bers.
Finding Reuben K. Pitcher a sym
pathetic llstcnor, ho proceeded to di
late on the general misery of tho box
business and his own stupidity for
over embarking In such a fool game.
"Wha'. you need, Mr. Peota," Bald
Pitcher, "Is a live selling representa
tive In San Francisco; somebody that
knows tho trade and can supply you
with orders enough to keep tho fac
tory running tho year around; Bomo-
body that can get you tho top market
price for your stock and arrango ton
nage to freight It to market. And
while it's a great blow to my natural
modesty to make such a crack, I
think I'm tho angel that's been Bent
to Bave you," and ho expained his
qualifications for the Job.
Henry Peets grinned painfully.
"I don't doubt your ability, Mr.
Pitcher, but If I'm to have an angel,
tho angel must have cash k-a-s-h
cashl I could buy a nlco lot of No.
1 and No. 2 box spruco at twelve dol
lars right now if I had tho money,
and you know tho market is easy at
thirteen dollars. Better than that, I
could grado a lot of No. 2 and No. 3
shop common out of tho box stock
and get into the sash and door end of
It in a small way but I haven't
any money to buy tho stock and work
It up, so what's the uso of living?"
"Dut won't the saw-mills up here
trust you?"
"Trust me! They'll tako tho little
plant away from me if I don't glad
den them with some real money with
in sixty days." Honry Peets ap
peared on the point of crying; In
deed, some hint of his desperation
may be gleaned from the fact that
he was glad to pour his troubleB
Into tho ear of a stranger.
"What's put you out of business?"
Pitcher Inquired mildly.
"A whalo of an order for cannery
stock. I cut the price to get the
order, because I simply had to have
the business; bad to keep the old
mill going to save my credit. I stood
to make a decent proflt on the order,
and I staved off my creditors on the
strength of it: A hundred and fifty
thousand boxes for tho Golden West
Canning Company "
Reuben K. Pitcher grasped Henry
Peets by the arm:
"Did you brand 'em?" he de
manded huskily.
"No. What kind of a box man do
you think I am? I've been stuck be
fore with orders after I'd branded the
ends, and I held off on this until I
had the entire order out. They kept
delaying sending me the brand "
"And when you had the order out
they blew up with a loud hurrah,
eh?" Pitcher grinned. Ho had re
fused to figure on this very order for
tho Arago Mill & Lumber Company
becauso of an lnsldo tip that the
Golden West people were shaky flnan
daily.
"I'm Btuck with tho goods,"
mourned poor Henry Peets. "Simply
can't sell them at a distance, and
I'm tied up bo I can't get away to
work them off myself. I've put the
lot up to a dozen commission sales
men, but I can't seem to get an or
der started."
PITCHER nodded, for ho understood
readily why this should be. The
canners ordered their boxes ono year
In advance, and until tho present crop
should have been disposed of, thero
could be no market for Henry Peets'
cannery shook. Nevertheless, he
know what Peets did not know, to-
wlt: that tho California apricot crop
that year was likely to prove a
bumper, in which event tho canners
would in all probability bo short of
sufficient boxes to market their prod
uct. The apricot crop would com
mence to bo harvested In about threo
weeks, and should the prognostlca
tlona of a bumper crop prove true,
he realized that thero would be rush
orders to the factories for more boxes
And here was Mr. Henry Peets in tho
most desperato plight imaginable,
ready to sacrifice his cannery stock at
a ridiculous price for a Httlo ready
cash. Hero also was Mr. Reuben K
Pitcher with flvo thousand ready
cash which ho could conveniently
spare for sixty days! Tho Wlshkah
Logging & Lumbering Company
would not commence operations for
thirty days, and it would be fully
sixty dayB longer before he would be
called upon to uso his meager capital
In expanding tho business of his lum
ber agency. Why not, then, sound
out the market on cannery stock and
tako a Httlo flyer in boxes?
The more Reuben K. thought It
over, the more alluring did the pros
pect become. With the certainty of
an underestimate of their box needs
on tho part of the California fruit
canners, Pitcher foresaw a sharp rise
In prices and a consequent extra
profit. Most of the box factories, hav
Ing, as they supposed, disposed of the
cannery business for that season
would bo busy on apple and orange
business; some of them, In fact, were
already working on orders for the
Alaska and Columbia River salmon
canneries why, if things turned out
right, he might make a profit of Ave
cents a box on these boxes ono
hundred and fifty thousand of them
wh-e-c-w-w! The box men would bo
cortaln to take prompt advantage of
the dilemma of the canners, and
Pitcher fairly glowed as he thought
of one hundred and fifty thousand
boxes in a bare market with all hands
Bcrabbllng for them!
He turned to Henry Peets. "Let
me see that stock," be said.
DEETS took him over to his ware
house and showed him the boxes
aides, tops, bottoms and one end all
neatly wire-wrapped and piled. The
other end had been stacked loose,
ready to be run through the brand
lng machine. Pitcher unwrapped
more than a dozen bundles of each
and measured them carefully. He
found that they conformed exactly to
