With the big mail order houses all

what has been done in the town Of
Bradford. England, for the convent.
ence and economy of seller and Gus.
toner alike.
Here the street railways are used.
and agents offices are located at the
terminal stations Of each route. Stamps
ranging in value from to IA cents are
sold by the tramway company just al
letter stamps are sold ut the pOstomce.
and for these prices packages weigh.
ing from seven to tifty-six pounds are
delivered at any point within half
mile of the car tracks.
The whole equipment Of the service
cost but $17.O33. and ffty-two boys
and sixteen men comprise the working
force. But In the last fiscal year the
company quickly and safely carried
675,719 parcels and made net pront
of $S.473.
The Bradford storekeepers have thus
been able to discontinue the employ
ment of errand boys. for by this tram
way parcels service a parcel can b
delivered to their customers within
two hours after Its receipt by the par
Gel department. which is quicker than
the postoffice parcels post. Indeed, the
tramway parcels service may be said
to commence where the posto6lce serv-
ice ends. as the latter takes parcels up
to eleven pounds only, while the for
mer collects and delivers them up to
fifty-six pounds.
