Retail GrOCerS Meet

A largely attended meeting of the
Watertown Retail Grocers associa-
ton was held at Masonic temple last
evening and was addressed by sew
eral visiting officers of kindred asso-
Citations. The meeting was held
specially for the purpose of hearing
the question of needed legislation ex-
plotted, and the good that will follow
as result of such needed reform in
the conduct of the grocery business.
The meeting was open to all who
wished to be present and was address
ed by H. w. Schwab, state secretary
of the Grocers and Merchants asso-
citation. of Milwaukee. Addresses
were also made by Fred Lornez of
Minneapolis and Joseph Platz of Mil
waukee.
A point we'll illustrated and which
was interesting was the discussion
relative to the delivering of goods
from the stores to the residences of
purchases. The many bad points of
the present system where each firm
maintained its own service was point
ed out and the benefits which result
where the service is given over to
private concerns was shown. This
system is in vogue in many cities at
the present time. One firm takes
the contract to deliver the groceries
of several or many firms at a stated
amount, thus relieving the grocer of
the necessity of keeping UP an expen-
sive delivery service.
The speakers handled the subjects
under discussion in thorough man
ner and pointed out to the local asso-
citation the great needs and the good
