Wholesale trade push eyed for Washington center
The Post reports on a push to organize a Shippers’ and Jobbers’ Association to centralize and expand wholesale trade from Washington. Local firms like R P Andrews Paper Co and Semmes Kelly Grocers outline routes, freight rate issues, and gaps in rail service, urging faster shipments and three new supply lines to boost regional reach. Washington merchants join the Business Men’s Association in backing the plan.
