but 1t 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 a hole in 1t 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
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 a fact: and facts, like
stone walls. are futile things to
kick. Take advantage of what
1t offers instead.
