RE ETA|LERS TO SEEK
PARCELPO TRADE
Merchants Association Will
Take Up Plan as Suggested
by Postmaster Praeger.

An extension of Washington retail
business to the country districts of
nelghboring States through the parcel
post is to be undertaken by the Retail
Merchants Association, in corporation
with Postmaster Praeger.
A campaign for this rural and subur-
ban business is to be Immediately
launched. This action was determined
upon at a meeting Of the association
last night, following the reading of a
letter from the Postmaster. calling at
tention to the opportunity and pledging
cooperation. A special committee con-
sisting of George s. DeNeale. Harry
King and Joseph Berberich. was ap-
pointed to take up the details with the
Postmaster, following a general dis
cussion of the best manner in which
to build trade with the country and
small town neighbor.
Postmaster's Proposal.
Postmaster Praeger's letter was in
part as follows:
Il desire to interest the business men
Of Washington In an extension Of the
parcel post, not as substitute for any
means Of transportation they now have
but as a means Of extending their busi-
ness through the parcel post and by the
means OF such cooperation as the postal
service can give.
The satisfactory progress Of the farm
to the city movement gives me an op-
portunity to take up the next step in
the parcel post work-an extension of
city trade direct to the farm, with its
Incidental bearing on the reduction of
the cost Of living in the country.
At Disposal of Both.
Just as the parcel post can never dis
place the city market or any other mid
dleman in the city. so will it not he able
to displace the middleman in the coun-
try. The middleman will ever be with
us. because under our system he is an
essential cog in the machine. The par
Gel post is at the disposal of both the
middleman and the consumer.
Il have an idea that with the work
we have done among the farmers we
are in position to render a great SER
vice to the city merchant. Is it worth
while for the Washington merchant to
reach out after that business? Can we
devise some means of developing that
kind Of business? / should recommend
the appointment of very small COM
mittee to cooperate in working out a
parcel post service in the interest of
Washington business as a whole
It will be recalled that the Retail
Merchants Association took umbrage at
the Postofflce Department for extend
ing a service to out-of-town dealers that
1t did not provide similar advantages
for the local merchant The merchants
present at last nights meeting ex
pressed themselves as thoroughly satis-
fed.
