EXCHANGE OF GOODS
BIG MANUFACTURING FIRMS. (British Official Wireless.) Rugby, September 4. A barter scheme which is a direct result of the Ottawa Conference has been arranged between two large manufacturing firms, one in England and the other in Canada, whereby British cream separators are to be exchanged for Canadian ploughs. COLLARS FOR EGGS BARTER COMES BACK. Sydney, August 27. A system of barter between city and country is in evidence daily in the Gosford district, where city salesmen canvass the farms and orchards with collars for eggs, shirts for dressed fowls, and so on. As a rule the salesman has bought sacrificed stocks or represents a struggling factory—or both. His aim is to get as much cash as will replace the cost of the goods, and to take bartered goods from the farms for the balance. These he lives on, or turns into cash elsewhere, on the road, as circumstances require.
