Abstract: Excerpts from the report Summary: Greatly increased competition from well prepared imported wool and from manmade fibers confronts domestic wool. Improvements in the adequacy and efficiency of the market services for this wool appear to be a promising means of strengthening its competitive position. Assembling wool in merchantable quantities, preparing it for marketing, and related services of warehouse operators constitute an important segment of the wool marketing problem. The main purposes of this report are to show the nature and extent of services of warehouse operators, the facilities and equipment used, and methods of operation. This information is needed as a basis for more detailed engineering and cost studies to improve the adequacy and efficiency of the operations of wool warehouses.
