THE PARCEL POST
System Proves Big Advantage
to Small Shippers.
BOURNE MAKES A STATEMENT

Author of Law Says Half Million
Dollars Were Saved During First
Fifteen Days of Its Existence-Not
Hardship to OVerworked Letter
Carriers Either.
Not only has the parcel post saved
to the people in the first fifteen
days of it's existence more than $780,
900, according to Senator Jonathan
Bourne, Jr, author of the law, but it
has not proved a hardship to the over
worked letter carriers.
Senator Bourne announced that re-
ports from forty-one leading cities OF
the country, which produce almost
half of the postal revenues. showed
that in the twelve working days be
tween Jan. and u a total CT 1894
OF outgoing parcels we're dispatched
at a cost of 1896, 2S6, or about II
cents a parcel.
Saving in Twelve Days $547.508.
Under the postage rates previous
1y in force, ] cent an ounce" SAID
the senator, ''the postage would have
been an average of 1872 cents par
eel, or a total of $942,394.99, thus
showing a saving to shippers of $547,-
50S.12 on twelve days business. 1t
should also be remembered that the
usual minimum charge of express
companies is % cents a parcel, where
as the average charge on the parcel
post packages was only II cents.
Average is % to the Carrier.
"'It is also worthy of note that al
though the business was large, it
was distributed through a large post
al organization so that no congestion
has resulted The postoffice clerks in
these forty-five cities have handled an
average Of only twenty-eight parcels
each day, this including both in
coming and outgoing parcels. The
total number of parcels delivered Tin
these cities makes an average of
only nine and one-third parcels
