Bargains by Mail.

In less than a month the parcels

preparing for it. but. at least SO far
as surface indications go, there is
nothing to show that the public is also
preparing to reap the advantages that
can be derived from the establishment
of this cheaper means of transporta-
tion of small packages. *
The prevailing notion is that the
parcels post is entirely. an experiment
and must therefore be approached
slowly and cautiously. In.reality it is
an experiment only so far as this
country is concerned. In Europe and
especially in the United Kingdom lit
long ago passed the.experimentar age.
The british people have learned
how to use the parcels post to- the
best advantage. They have found in
it means. OF bringing producer and
consumer in closer touch. AIE:tfie
London newspapers sdaiIy: carry COL
umns of small advertisements pffeting
to send innumerable products of the
farm. the dairy. the orchard, thespou12
try yard and the fisheries "to any ad-
dress postpaid" TNt5J7
Sooner or later similar advertise-
ments will doubtless appear in Ameri-
can countries. Bargains:by mail are
as likely to be appreciated by our peo-
Dle as by our British cousins. Ameri-
can consumers are so ready and anx-
ious for them that if any considerable
time should elapse between the .inau-
guration and the offering of bargains
of this kind there will be generali dis
appointment. 1T is up to the Ameri-
can producer to show how enterpris-

While in the large majority of cities

ence has proved that in some places it
materially adds to an aIfeady heavy
burden of work. Elm large cities where
