CO-OP CREAMERY
CLAMPS DOWN ON
WHOLiSALi SALES
Iki nmnt: April 1 the Co-Op
Creamery v. ill ad'<pt a nrw pol
ny in regard to vc holrwilr *«i<
of icr crr»m to organisation* in
the community. Manager Clar
ence Hell announced thi* week.
Under the new policy there
Mill be no more ivh sales at
wholesale pruts. Bonafide re
quests for wholesale rate* on ice
cream for organisational meet
ings must be contained in a pur
chase order signed by the organi
zation's treaurrr Then the charge
will be billed in the name of the
organization The rame applied to
"charity" gifts. Wholesale privil
eges will no longer be granted on
an individual's pretext that "the
gallon is for children at the chil
dren's home." Organizations that
wish to give ice cream in quantity
as an act of charity should fol
low the same procedure for ob
taining wholesale rate for ice
cream at organization meetings:
A purchase order should be sign
ed by the organization treasurer
and the charge will be billed to
the organization.
Abuse of the courtesy extended
by the creamery to local organi
zations is the reason behind this
new policy which now puts all
\. holesalo sales on a strictly busi
ness basis. Bell stated. A rise in
"organizational" requests by in
dividuals for "a gallon” of ice
cream has led to the inescapable
conclusion that many are using
these wholesale purchases for
their own use. Sometimes there
have been two such sales "for one
organization" in a single day. Fre
quent are requests for wholesale
price on a gallon of ice cream
"because it's for the children up
at the home."
