The world now consumes consider
ably more copper in single week
than was required for an entire year
a century ago. Despite the popular
impression that the bulk of the cop
per production is required for elect
rical purposes, the demands Of the
engineering trades still require fully
one half of the entire output of the
metal. An important departure In
the utilization of copper is it's pro-
posed use in this country in the man
ufacture of steel rails. If the tests
now being made prove as successful
as the one made by an eastern rail
road, there will be an additional de-
mand for the red metal of not less
than O0,000,000 Tbs. annually. Re-

LOCAL MERCHANT HOLDS THE
ADVANTAGE.

The parcel post has been strenu-
ously opposed by retail merchants
all over the country as designed to
promote the mail order business at
the expense of the business men in
the smaller towns. Through farmer
and other influences, however, the
law has been enacted, and what con-
fronts the merchants now is no long
er theory, but an actual condition.
Are they going to lie down and let
the mail order houses get their busi-
ness away from them now that the
law is on the books, or are they 60
ing to adopt some method by which
they may turn the law to their own
advantage? Being quitterS will, no
doubt, be the lazy mans method, but
the live, up to date hustler will give
the mail order houses some little fun
will get some fun out of it too. The
law as it stands gives the local mer-
chant a substantial advantage over
his distant big town competitor in
the matter of rates. Within a radi-
us of fifty miles of his own town
he has cent pound edge on his
competitor i'm his mail charges, and,
while cent pound may not seem
much, it gives him that much ad-
i'm hn hn iS
goods at in comparison with his dis
tant competitor. -
The up-to-date local merchant how
ever, will not be giving so much
thought to what the mail order
houses are doing as to how he can
widen his own field of action through
the very parcel post law which he
SO strenuously opposed. The parcel
post will solve for him the problem ct
making mail deliveries to his rural
customers.
Instead of having to come to town
for every little thing she wants the
farmers wife can telephone in her
order or drop a postal card, and the
goods can be sent by mail the next
morning and at a fraction of the cost
of what a private delivery system
would represent, and without loss of
time either to merchant or customer.
The parcel post, while it may open
the doors to some extent for the mail
chant great opportunities for develop
ing his rural trade, and if he is wise
he will waste no time i'm useless la
mentations, but will get into the
game for all he is worth for his
share of the business.
