NEW MERCANTILE IDEA.
Retail Dealers of Sioux City May Make
Deliveries Through One
Company.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Dec. 21.-What
would you think if your groceries and
your meat were delivered to you by a
nice new painted wagon, one of the
large number of nice new painted
wagons that belonged to delivering
carry for ali the grocers and meat men
in town?
Such company is among the pos
sibilities although no steps have been
taken toward its organization. But 1t
is one of the schemes for improving
business conditions. that are taking
form in the minds OF d. A. Magee and
others who are back of the movement
to re-organize the Sioux City Retail
Merchants association.
The delivery bill of the retail grocer
is perhaps, his heaviest expense. The
average grocer is really unable to say
just what his delivery bill does amount
TO, but it has been figured out by some
the total business cost. 1t is claimed
! that. in towns where the mutual de
livery system has been adopted, the
cost has been reduced to 6 per cent.
4 A small grocer may have hardly
enough business for one horse and
4 wagon, but he has to maintain tat
I horse and wagon nevertheless. An
other man may have too much bus
ness for one outfit but not enough fol-
two If company should be formed
by the grocers and others interested
4 the cost could be apportioned accord
ing to the service rendered and, it ];
claimed, deliveries be made more
promptly and satisfactorily.

county commissioners The place is
in what is now Nauvoo, and the house
is still standing at the river near the
ferryboat landing. 1t is known as the
first house built in Nauvoo and was
built by Captain White In 1928. At
