[This is a repeat of the Third Call sent in
on Tuesday 12 Sep which somehow didn't
get posted to Chile-Heads Digest V6 #248
on Wed, 13 Sep 2000]

All,
So far: 21 boxes ordered & paid for.
SPREAD THE WORD! TELL YOUR FRIENDS!
We need 29 more in the next 7 days to complete the order.
~~~
If this doesn't happen, I'll check with Mary Garcia to
see if she'll have Frank pick later or he'll fill a smaller
than minimum required order.
Remember, Frank's got 40 acres.
That's ~774,400+ pepper plants,
or ~1,000+ tons of Red Savinas & Franciscas.
Our little 500 pound minimum order is only 0.02%
of their business. They're doing us a favor by even
allowing us to buy, when they could much more
easily sell to any of their other buyers, all far bigger.
To put it another way, WalMart, to whom they sell
through a broker, is, most likely, of greater interest
to GNS Spices than is our little pittance.
The trucking company only needs 2 days' advance
notice, so that's no problem.
