WHIzZING GOODS TO MARKET
Rapid Automatic Delivery Device For
Convenience Of Farmers.

Sending his butter and eggs to mar
ket at speed of twenty-five miles an
hour without moving farther than his
front gate is the scheme which ali in
genious inventor has devised for the
Pittsburg Dispatch.
All the farmer will need to do in
case this automatic delivery device be-
comes Il reality will be to pack his
produce in Il basket. telephone for Il
small delivery car if one is not already
without his gates, deposit his package
when one arrives and collect the re
ceipts at the end of the day.
The butter. eggs, green stuff or what
ever the basket contains is whizZed
through the air ut 4 speed of from
twenty TO twenty-five miles an hour
and deposited in the central Office OF
the delivery company. where some one
conveys it TO the market. When the
selling hours are over the agent returns
to the farmer by the same means OF
transportation the cash returns and
any stock left over.
The delivery is made by means of a
carrier which travels on light rails
about twelve feet from the ground.
The carriers deposit while en- route
mail or packages at any or all of the
stations on the line and at the same
time collect mail or merchandise de-
posted by the farmer. One man. it is
claimed, can operate at least twelve of
these lines. To make the system still
more perfect the inventors will install
| n telephone in each house in order that
the central Office may be notified when
| n car is required. One is to be installed
| near PittSOurg.

a noticeable fact that in every resort
