Country Stores not Hurt.

While the long fight for tue parcel
post was waging,. there was always
one stock argument in opposition.
That was the damage q at would be
done To country stores. II vas also
felt by the many mercl.a.It7 that it
would drain the life blood out of re-
tai trade in towns of soue size.
The last bulletin OF the National
i ssociaiion of Credit Men contains
the results Of an investigation into
this question. One Of the questions
asked was Are country stores suffer
ing from the aggressiveness OF mail
oroer houses?' This and other Ques-
tions were sent TO Wholesale dealers.
If the cross roads aud small city man
is growing, the sales manager hears
iI quickly enough.
These questions brought out no
sentiment among the retailers that
tile parcel post was hurting them.
But there was general feeling that
the new system removes q burden
some expense.
Tue extent OF the tax impused by
the former heavy express charges was
hot realized. 1t came in driblets. 1t
was a quarter here, half dollar
there, a dollar somewhere else. A
good deal OF tue tine it was charged
up to the consumer. No doubt there
we're many circumstances under
which the retailer felt lie had 10 pay
TO satisfy his customer.
In the long run the change may
prove good thug for the express
companies Under the old regime,
they could not have possibly consid
cred themselves popular. Now they
are advertising their claims and
rates. The moment corporation
shows itself anxious to please and
get business, that moment it has laid
the foundation Of popular favor.
Retail merchants of course must
realize that more work is going to bt
done by mail orders sent to stores
near homs. They must by advertis
ing keep their goods before the out.
lying farmers OF their TERRITORY ol
their rival around the corner will
get it. Ex.
