FARM PRODUCE, PARCEL POST
Rural Postoffice Carriers Will Call for
Butter, Eggs and Vegetables.

Washington. - Preliminary steps
have been taken by the postoffice de-
partment to perfect its plan for reduc-
ing the cost of living by having the
parcel post carry products of the farm
directly to the door of the consumer.
Ten cities were selected to begin the
work of establishing direct connection
between producer and consumer. Post
master General Burleson having al
ready issued an order permitting the
use of crates and boxes for butter
eggs, poultry vegetables and fruit
shipped by parcel post.
Orders have gone out to the post
masters at Boston, Atlanta, St Louis,
San Francisco Baltimore, Detroit, La
Crosse, Wis; Lynn, Mass; Rock ISL
and, ILL.,, and Washington, directing
them to receive the names of persons
who are willing to supply farm pro-
ducts in retail quantities by parcel
post"
Printed lists of these names, show
ing kind and quantity of commodity
available will be distributed among
town and city patrons.
by the use of the lists" First AS
sistant Postmaster General Roper said,
the city consumer will be able to get
in touch with a farmer who will fill
his weekly orders for butter and eggs
and other farm produce. The consumer
will receive the produce fresh from
the country, and the personal relation
ship established will no doubt tend
TO improve the quality.
"The farmer will be relieved Of car
rying his produce to market, as the
rural carrier will make daily collec-
lions at the farmers door of these re-
tail shipments to city consumers.

Hampering the r. M. o. Houses.

Not very long ago a retail merchant
sent an order to one of the mail order
houses. That in itself is little I'M
usual. 1t was not an order sent at
random, but had some pretty clear
thinking behind it. A study of the re-
tail mail order catalog had shown this
man that the concern in question was
offering certain well-known and we'll
advertised goods at prices that he
could not meet, says Twin City Com
mercial Bulletin.
A comparison of some of these
prices with those he was paying
showed him further that it cost him
more to buy certain of these goods
from his usual source of supply than
he could buy them from the catalog
house.
Now correspondence with some of
these houses making these goods con-
vinced him that the retail mail con-
Germ was not buying the goods direct
from the manufacturer but in some
round about way. Consequently it
was safe to assume that it was losing
money on this business.
Here is the order for well-known
brands this man sent in:

General Trade Conditions.

Bradstreet's says: Trade is still
on the quiet side. For this, the win
ter's varying weather conditions, con-
servatism born of recent hand-to-
mouth buying, the late Easter season
and uncertainty as to further business
legislation are all held varyingly re-
sponsible. The predominant feeling is
that the opening of spring will act as
a stimulus to trade and industry.
Weather conditions or the effects
of recent meteorological events still
bulk large in the undeniably slow
opening up of business.
There is a perceptible widening in
a variety of lines OF industry, which
is taking up some surplus of labor. 1t
is likewise becoming evident that
some of the talk of unemployment out
side the seasonal lines was exagger-
ated
For the week-Bank clearings
were $3,241, 1000, a decrease of IA
per cent from last year"
Dun's says: Considerable irregu-
larity still characterizes the business
situation and statistics of trade move
ments are conflicting. AS measured
by bank clearings, the volume Of
transactions continues smaller than a
year ago. there being a loss this week
of 10 per cent, while gross earnings
of railroads reporting for February
were rs per cent smaller than In the
corresponding period Of 1913. On the
other hand a further substantial re-
duction occurred in the number Of
idle freight cars, the gain in the I'M
filled tonnage Of the principal iron and
steel in the last month surpassed ex-
pectations and there was a decrease
in surplus stocks Of copper. Current
reports from leading centers, however,
are lacking in uniformity and indicate
the effects of the recent storms have
not entirely disappeared"

The twelve cakes of securing soap
and the twelve packages of the second
cereal were ordered in those quanti-
ties because the merchant figured that
the differential between the case and
the dozen prices was not large enough
to pay for breaking the case.
The sugar had to go with a $40 gpo-
Gerry order, presumably so that a part
of the loss should be made up. 1t will
be noticed how the merchant succeed
ed in frustrating the scheme.
The idea back of the order was sim
ply this:
Here is a case where there is an
obvious loss to the retail mail order
house, not only in the actual money 1t
pays for the goods, but as well, In the
overhead charge that must be covered.
From his knowledge of the catalog
house game, this merchant figures the
loss will amount to anywhere from
$3.50 to $500 on this order.
The reason why the Bulletin is pub
fishing the foregoing material is that
if 1000 merchants in the northwest
we're each to send a similar order say
once or twice a month, the catalog
houses would be compelled to revise
their prices in short order.
The only question is; VIII they do
It?
