Selling Wool
Sir,—Ordinary men like simple statements and may like Mr Kirk’s idea of travelling salesmen winging it here and there with sample cases of New Zealand wools. But the complicated reactions caused by this travelling-salesman mode he wants to replace “outmoded” auction sales, would put New Zealand wools, here and there, right out of the market. And how would it be possible to equip these salesmen with an accurate up-to-date sample range of what the season has just produced tn the various districts in various qualities? No; the proposal is not simple but stupidly extraordinary, and as an ordinary constituent in the democratic care of a Labour member, I hope fellow constituents will be less stupid in majority here next time they vote.—Yours, etc., A. B. CEDARIAN. January 6, 1969.
