origin OF THE

The growing high prices of almost
every commodity and the stationary
or lowering conditions of salaries com
menced with the first real merger.
The primitive conditions remain with
us, and no doubt will until the final
"merger' has used up the last of it's
raw material, leaving nothing more to
merge Consider a monument the real
conditions. In a town there are ten
milk men, each operating independent
ly. Each owns ten cows, with ten
equipments of barns, c~orrals, delivery
wagons, drivers, collectors, etc. Be-
fore day they are all rafting through
town delivering milk. One will drive
up to your house and leave the por-
ton. Perhaps in one or five minutes
another will come along an leave an
order next door. Then, if it is quite

in pairs or very close together. At
any rate it is safe to say that all or
most of them will have a customer on
your block. One day a driver. Of one Of
these wagons began thinking. He had
just inherited some money and was
thinking of starting a dairy for him
self. He realized that the field was
covered and he would have to buy out
some one. 1t dawned upon him that
he might buy two routes and double his
money, for one set of wagons could de-
liver both routes, as the wagon of one
passed the other. He could also save
the ent of one dairy by merging two
in one, and both could be operated al
most as cheaply as one.
There was no doubt of the sound
ness of this reasoning. Then it oc-
CURED to him that it might be posi-
BILE to merge all ten of the dairies into
one. He would try. All were doing
very well, but no one making much
money, and each willing to sell. Quiet
ly this driver bonded every one of the
diaries. In place of paying all cash
for two, he paid 10 per cent cash and
gave secured notes for the balance, and
took over the whole business By dis
pensing with drivers and other unneces-
sary help, rents, etc, the net saving
in one wear maid him ouf of debt He
was able to give better milk and at a
reduced price, which firmly assured his
monopoly. However, this vas also in
the interest of the consumer and all
would be the same if they were not
used to coerce consumers in paying
more for less service. All mergers are
alike, and may be used either for good
or evil.
