planter nThere are about a dozen well recognised central stations in Labrador, where agents representing the various merchants' firms are stationed to collect the fish from the fishermen dealing with their firm, and to ship it thence to market. These men have far better houses than the rest, generally also a store from which the general wants of their men are supplied. As a rule, advances are made of all needful appliances and food to some better known fishermen. These men are known as "Planters," and employ under them so many men and women on ''share" or wages.GM Story AUG 1970 JH AUG 1970PRINTED ITEMUsed IUsed I2Not use
