WHAT PARCEL POST
MEANS TO FARMERS

1t is going to bring the farmers more
than the rural delivery gave them. It
is going TO make that vast machinery
tar more efficient than it has ever been.
The free rural delivery has on some ac-
counts, been disappointment. II has
not operated with the full force and
effect that was expected.
But when we add the parcels post TO
the rural delivery we'will realize all
that we expected to realize in the begin
ming from that device.
1t brings the farmer closer TO his
local dealer, 1t brings. him and his
local dealerinto closer connection with
the merchant and the manufacturer of
the larger community. 1t will elimin-
ate much OF the cost of exchange. 1t
is not going TO put the country mer-
chant out of business. 1t will help
him, as it well help the city merchant,
and the farmer himself, if he will
utilize it and not waste his time and
energy in antagonizing it and in striv-
ing TO make 1t of no effect.
