Don { Kick
Against a
Stone Wall

VlCKING a stone wall does
IN no good and only prevents
further progress. AS a pastime
it may furnish some exercise,
but it is extremely wearing
on the nerves, shoe leather and
temper. The parcel post is a
stone wall that the small mer-
chant thinks falsely he has rea-
son to kick. 1t has brought him,
increased competition with the
mail order houses, according to
his view.
But the parcel post stone wall
has hole In it that leads the
small merchant into a fertile
country where his erstwhile
competitors can only follow aft
er considerable delay and at
greater expense. The hole" is
the zone system, which makes
every merchant the center Of a
circle whose diameter is 100
miles, within which he can de-
liver goods much more quickly
and at a lower postal rate than
any mail order house.
The parcel post is no longer a
theory, but fact; and facts, like
stone walls. are futile things to
kick. Take advantage of what
it offers instead.

was dedicated by the celebrated Pro-
fessor Wilson of Edinburgh.
When the sutton for the hand OF
Professor Wilson's daughter had
gained the young woman's approba-

her father. Having stated his case,
the young gentleman was asked to
bid the young lady to come to her

Professor Wilson had before him
for review ponderous volume, on

her to the anxious lover-and went
