SNYDER, THE ONION KING OF CHELSEA, IN INDIANA

He Didn't Like the Prices of Chelsea Growers and Went Outside to Make Big Purchase

Chelsea, Sept. 25. -- R. A. Snyder has just returned from a trip in Indiana and several points in Michigan, where he purchased something like 60,000 bushels of onions at a far less price than he would have to pay to the growers here. The price offered here ranges from 75c to 97c and the growers are holding off for $1.00 to $1.25 per bushel with fair prospects of getting the price they want.
