Wrigley Plan To Buy Wheat For West Cashless Trade
Toronto, Ont. William Wrigley Jr. Co announces a wheat investment plan in western Canada to settle debts by taking wheat in exchange for goods. The firm will accumulate 1,000,000 bushels of Canadian wheat from Dec 12, 1930, to May 1, 1931, to hold or deliver in May 1931. Col. F A Ross says the plan avoids cash use and could profit if wheat rises, or share losses with the west if prices fall, aiming to ease strain on farmers pools and banks in the region.
