He points to paper-filled cardboard boxes piled around the edges of the warehouse. "We even sell old computer print-outs and out-of-date invoices as used paper.

The county institutions that feed people, such as Juvenile Hall, even let us sell their tin cans, grease and bones to companies that recycle wastes." Sutowski and Carl Gerde-started" working together in the county salvage operation 17 years ago, and they agree that there seems to be a market for" everything, no matter how bizarre it is or in what condition. ONE OF THEIR "duties is listing and labeling with a county number every new piece of equipment and furniture the county purchases. But this is routine. What "makes thisowork interesting is that everything a county office discards as no longer usable, either worn out or completely outdated, is -sent to Sutowski and Gerde" "lor" disposal. Some items can be, sent to other county offices and used there especially furniture.

Sutowski- reports that in. fiscal 1970-71 more furniture 'appraised at $47,000 "at Used-furniture prices was put back into county use. THROUGH THE YEARS, Sutowski and Gerde have handled some ex Petty Officer Third Class James B. husband of the former Miss Olga E. Orozco of 1045 E.

He finally found a buyer for the animal, Jhen on the way from Del. Campo, flf a sharp curve, the boar knocked out the sides of the new owner's prckup Hruck, got loose, and' was after a wild chase. agentv Often a better price is received as a trade-in than when sold to the public. "When county institutions and bf- fices clean out closets, we really -get some prizes," Sutowski reminisces "We can literally say we have everything from soup to nuts; once we had several cases of surplus government soup turned in. "Then there were the trousers, size 48 waist, that the Honor Camp couldn't use.

"Around the office here we're still, using part of a couple of cases of Crystal laundry soap someone found. Piano, portable dishwasher, any and all kinds of office equipment, tires, trucks, and tractors we get. them all." THE SALVAGE OFFICE has built up a list of more than buyers living from Seattle to Mexico. stating' what each is interested in purchasing. Sutowski and Gerde let them know when items in which they are interested are offered for sale; the potential customers trust the county to give them a fair deal.

Is 'sold where is, as is, and this seems buyer confidence. Take county autos we sell. We never wash or vacuum them or paint the tires. The buyer knows that what he sees sitting there is what he gets, with no fancy priming." The policy seems to work; Sutowski says they often receive higher prices than a used car dealer would get. "Everything Is available to county offices first," explains Sutowski "What we can't put back intd county service is then offered to the public on a sealed bid "We try not to ketp 'things very long; we don't have the storage space.

We reserve the right to refuse any bid if it's, too low. Of course, to judge the bids, we have to keep in touch with all the various used merchandise markets." LAST YEAR, sales of merchandise out of his warehouse put $138,000 back into the county general fund. This -figure doesn't include items returned to work which otherwise would have been replaced. Nor does it -count items used as trade-ins by the county purchasing A lot of livestock has changed hands through the salvage office.

"EVERY ITEM we have for sale is sold individually, never by We want to be sure that every taxpayer has a chance to buy, and of course we want to get as good a price as possible," says Sutowski.
