Next came the ' clean ' retail trades (innkeepers, and large-scale shopkeepers and wholesalers), then prosperous ' dirty ' manual trades (tanners, butchers, or skilled metal and wood workers).
Like wholesalers and final-product fabricators, banks are assumed to have no endowments, to operate at zero cost, and to be competitive and consume no goods.
It is easier for wholesalers to meet and, in practice, they are fewer.
This simplifies the strategic structure of the model, because the wholesalers do not themselves behave strategically.
One was a large commercial grower of salad crops and it was not surprising that this company supplied more than one wholesaler.
Crops and other farm products were largely marketed through the local grain elevator or wholesaler (83.2%) and through an industry operation (70.3%).
The specialized wholesalers deliver their supply to their respective terminals, and then the final-product fabricators buy their inputs from the different specialized terminals.
In the mid-seventeenth century wholesaler associations were organized by industry or on a territorial basis.
