Every yearhere In In the United
States more ,d more long distance
moving OF hosehold effects, from one
city or one pat OF the country to an
other. Such moving has increased
tenfold in th0ast half a dozen years.
There isn't aday In the year when
the larger stoage and van companies
here In New lrk would not have one
or two shipmels of this sort OF house
hold goods Going in from, or going
to, places fifty hundred or thou
sand miles disant. OF course there
has always bee more or less OF such
moving. Someof the increase In II
Is due to the icrease in population;
but much the gsater part OF 1t Is due
10 modern mulplied means OF easy
communication, nd to the systematic
ing OF modern lovine methods. SO

and delivering tenn in Kamscbatka
or anywhere else n the world, putting

Various reasons lad people to this
sort of moving, BUSINESS reasons being
the most common. A man may have
business interests tat will take him
from here to Chicag for year or ten
years or permanently. There are a
dozen or twenty OF more passenger
trains daily betweenhere and Chicago
and as far as distanc, is concerned the
thousand miles is to he traveller prac-
tically nothing; it isa days journey.
The same idea holds with regard to
the movement of COOS.
Between, for example, these two
points there are freight trains without
number running practically all the
time; there Is quick fee and constant
communication; distalce doesn't seem
formidable as ii once did; and, with
the better facilities fol- moving now at
command, the man mves his house
hold goods, too. AS a matter OF fact.
while the packing and transportation
makes the moving cost more, 1t is
adays Just as cas-, to move from
New York to Chicago Is ii would be
to move from Fourteenth street to
125th street in this cry: and there
are people who would 'hink no more
about IT. or course. people come here
from Chicago or othe' places with
Just the same facility.
Another cause that contributes to
this sort Of moving is the movement

longer period. In such circumstances,

or so much OF them as would be re-
quired to furnish the house taken
wherever they were going The same
would be true of people VINO had NOV
ed from one point to another for a
longer period simply for pleasure.
Still another cause is found In the
movement OF skilled workmen and Of
people In various occ ipations from
one city to another, who would not
now, as they might once have done,
dispose or thelr houSehold goods at
the old home and start with new in
the other. but who would simply ship
their goods and bring them into their
regular use again in their new home.
There is also more or less long dis

The transatlantic long distance NOV
ing of household effects here is of the
goods Of resident partners or agents
OF European business houses, and OF
various other persons coming to re-
side here for a longer or shorter per-

other direction 1t would take the
household effects in whole or in part
of Americans going to reside for a
longer or shorter period In Europe,
