the postef1ce facilities as in England,
Germany and other countries, for de-
livery cheapIy of small amounts of
produce. butter, eggs and fruit, would
put the producer and consumer into
daily touch and enable them to laugh
at the middleman who tried to charge
extortionate prices. However, the
country merchant would participate
in an improved and cheapened method
of transportation, which would enable
him to conduct his business with less
capital or to carry a greater variety
of goods The very thing which would
cut tremendously into the profits of
the big mail order houses through the
reduction of the size of orders" said
one authority. would enable the coun-

his customers cheaply and quickly
Senator Bourne, who has investigated
all phases OF the problem and soon
will stir congress about the matter,
said: Instructions are given in the
catalogue of every mail order house

terprises have developed their business.
Customers are urged to ship by freight
and since railroads make a minimum
charge based on one-hundred-pOu
shipment, purchasers are encouraged
to order enough goods TO make a one
