TOO MUCH "F. o. g." BUSINESS.
Chicago Importer Who Favors the Eng

A Chicago Importer Who Favors the Eng.
lish Rule of Charging For Everything.
When a Chicago importer gets bill foi
goods shipped from London, he finds
charged up to him the carriage and the box
IN which the goods are shipped-perhaps
even the nails and the iron strip with
which the box is held together.
81 think this practice is the correct
one, said local importer. 1T is the
product of a higher commercial develop
ment than ours-a better, more thorough
ly organized system. 1t is a system in
which the element of guessing in figuring
up years income and expenditures is
practically eliminated. The practice prev
aient i'll this country of selling goods f. o.
b. is not the sound enc, and every neces-
sary expense which is thrown in by the
seller as an inducemcnt to the buyer marks
a step in the wrong direction. And. If
there is any profit in this way of doing
business it goes not to the buyer, as he
may imagine. but to the seller, because
the latter in figuring the price of an arti
Gle is sure to make a liberal allowance on
his side of the fence to cover the cost of
this concession. He has never estimated,
exactly, what a box of given dimensions
docs cost him, but he will make guess at
it in establishing prices which is sure to
cover it and a little more.
1.-The practice comes not from any de-
sire to make money in boxes, j think, but
from the large handed way of doing this
in this country. In older countries, like
England, men are content with earning
smaller percentages on their Investments
