Many celery shippers use multiple names in Kalamazoo
In Kalamazoo Michigan celery merchants operate under numerous aliases to boost sales and hide competition. Names include Van Der Veen with Wolverine Celery Co and others, Schuur with Star and Crown Celery Co, and Butine with six brands. The practice aims to win customers back after refusals and to prevent rivals from knowing market reach. Crop prospects are strong though weather remains a risk.
