All On q Level.
Now that the postoffice department
agrees to deliver mail free Of charge to
individuals living along the star routes,
all clubmakers are on the same level so
far as delivering papers are concerned.
Heretofore, the route carriers had GER
tain advantages. They made going ON
their clubs q condition Of free delivery.
Either that, or they required the club
makers to pay them for the delivery OF
papers to people who were not on their
clubs. This is all changed. Every club
maker has exactly the same advantage
as the route carriers. The subscriber
is free to give his name wherever he
see fit, and have his paper delivered
free all the same. This is considera-
ton. -
