exactly what he intends w/this tactic

stores in Jogja require small amts of many types of goods, while larger langganans want large amts of a smaller range of goods

large langganans:

1. Ny Margaretta, Jakarta - comes in person to place order, order then shipped by Amat when made - who bears cost of shipping depends on specific agreement - shipments by night bus - [[strikethrough]] [[?]] [[strikethrough]] Prof. Johannes, former Rektor of GAMA, provides a guarantee for Amat - [[strikethrough]] [[??]] [[strikethrough]] Prof. Johannes contacted by Amats "son" (( Murjjman or Wiji?))

goods [[strikethrough/]] wrapped [[strikethrough]] packed for shipping in cardboard boxes like old TV boxes or bagor bags

2. P.T. Tanamas, Jakarta - largest order ever placed was 3 mo. ago for 4 M. Rp

3. P.T. Sari Resye, Semarang - (pribumi)
