more popular with the rural COM
munities than the establishment
of rural parcel post service.
This would enable the farming
community to have small articles,
weighing only a few pounds mail
ed to them at a normal cost by
the local dealers. 1t would prob
ably tend to increase the business
of the local dealers also. 1t is
proposed that in order to prevent
mail order houses from taking
advantage of the parcel post sys-
tenn, to the ruination of the local
merchant, it be extended only to
rural mail service. This prob
ably removes the main objection
to the establishment of the syS-
tenn and when we'll understood
there will be so great a demand
for parcel post service, that con-
gress will grant it.
