March 2nd, 1960
Robinson Public Warehouse - Houston
We expect to do without this stock.
Reliable Warehouse - Houston
This warehouse is located in such a manner that it is used by several of our
distributors and Imperial users as pick-up point. If we take our stock out of
there the trade will just pick-up American.
Texas Service Wanhouse - Houston
This is where A & P picks up their merchandise. Ame rican carries a
stock there and if we take out our's, we will lose the business.
Alford Warehouse - Dallas
It is necessary that we carry an assortment of sugar for fill-in stocks for
our customers. There are several competitive stocks in Dallas and if we
don't have stocks up there our trade will pick up the available competitive
sugar and we will lose the business.
Badger Storage - Milwaukee
About the only business we have been able to retain in the Milwaukee area
is what our broker has been able to sell in small lots ex-warehouse. All the
trade by low price competitive sugars. We feel it is important to keep some
business in the market and the cheapest way is to carry a warehouse stock.
All other dfiners doing business in that area carry warehouse stocks.
El Paso Terminal - El Paso
Stock is ncessary for the same reason as it is at Alford at Dallas, plus
we need to provide quicker service at this distant point.
Olen Stewart - Lubbock
We also need this for the same reason that we need our Dallas stock, plus
the fact that Lubbock is a truck distribution center for a good many of the
distant West-Texas points.
West Texas Warehouse - Lubbock
Our 2 largest Lubbock customers operate out of this warehouse and we
must stock there in order to do business with them. C & H and at least one
brand of beet are in this warehouse and if we move out we will lose the
business. This warehouse does not allow truck pick-up which is why we need
another stock at Olen Stewart for service to trucks.
Scobey Storage - San Antonio
We maintain this for the same reason as the Alford stocks in Dallas.
Eubank Brokerage Co. - Waco
Also the same as Alford - Dallas..4. L iQ ' ,.r..or rte.e :,. sF" .eat.. ,. ....... , o.... s. .... ,., ,,. ... ri._ _.
