When the parcels post law goes into
effect January first the merchants Of
business easily by simply reaching ont
after the trade in business way and
if they do not wake up and &C after
this business they may rest assured
the Denver and Chicago merchants will
capture this trade as they have been
doing in the past. 1t is to be hooed
that our Glenwood merchants will

their full share Of the business under

store for them by delivering their pack
ages Of merchandise at very cheap
rates.

plan heretofore proposed, believing
that it would discriminate against this
local merchants and that the big city
mail order hoases would reap the cAiaf

the law which will beeo.e elective

waited by the zone system which gives
the advantage to the nearby nerchan:

living in out Of the way places who
found it = difficult matter to send to
the stores often enough to suit their
convenience or necessities. The new
law, if proper advantage is taken Of
the same, will work to the great advan.

was chiefly fer their benefit that the
law Was passed although it was vigor.
