TELEPHONES
AN UNwoRKED GOLD MINE

Over in Kansas, university students
are saving quite little money by
utilizing the parcel post to send theil
weeks washing home TO mother for
laundering. Mother, Of course, is glad
to. do it and can do it better than
anyone or anything else, not barring a
steam laundry, and the boys have 30
or 40 cents week more with which
TO help support the football training
table.
This is a reminder that the parcel
post is still in existence A year ago
it was much talked of institution
and the newspapers were full Of
stories about peculiar things sent by
mail. Nowadays one hardly ever sees
the parcel post mentioned and It pa
pears possible that by next Novem-
Der the government may have to spend
money advertising the opportunity of
sending Christmas presents by mail in
stead Of by express.
Despite the fact that It is receiving
no free advertising any more, the
parcel post is in reality. of course, do
ing an immense business. In this
modern era we get used to Innovations
in day and thereafter consider them
hardly worth while as conversational
topics, but continue their use Just the
same.
But the full possibilities Of the par
eel post for merchants and farmers
have not yet been realized, even If the
topic has become stale. A year ago
a few farmers over the country tried
advertising their butter and eggs and
poultry for sale, delivery to be by the
The new postal scheme AS with any
new plan, results were not inevitably
encouraging and only those farmers
who persevered with the advertising
met with big success. The others
quickly decided that the parcel post !
was not what it had been cracked
up" to be and Iapsed back into their
old method Of marketing And most
merchants gave the parcel post brief
and consequently unfair trial and de-
cided like most Of the farmers that It
wasn't worth while. But the few that
persevered are reaping the returns Of
accumulated effort this fall
Merchants and farmers and others
who gave the parcel post trial with
unsatisfactory results year ago may
lind conditions more ripe for success
now. At least they should keep IN
mind that the possibilities OF the ays.
an are stilI waiting TO be grasped.
