MAIL ORDER HOUSES
WHAT THEY COST

A good illustration of what the mail
order houses are doing to some OF our
wives, daughters and sisters (and some
of 'em pride themselves on being good
shoppers In home stores) Is found in
the Letter Box of last weeks Rum
ford Falls Times. 1t is worth reading
and follows:
Mail Order Houses.
Editor of Rumford Falls Times
I have been interested in the several
articles on mail order houses which
you have published in recent issues
Of your paper, and know that the en-
closed clipping from a trade journal
The Interstate Grocer, will be of
interest to you. 1t might be worth
publishing if you can spare the room.
From a Times reader in Andover.
HE BOUGHT A SAW
Down in Alabama some time ago,
a man went into a store to buy a saw.
He saw the kind he wanted, and ask
ed the price. 1t was $1.65, the dealer
said.
Good gracious said the man. II
can get the same thing from the
mail order house for $1.35."
That's less than 1t cost me-" said
the dealer, but I'll sell 1t on the
same terms as the mail order house
just the same
"All right" said the customer.
you can send 1t along and charge
1t to my account"
mot on your life" the dealer re-
piled, mo charge accounts. You
can't do business with the mail-order
house that way. Fork over the cash.
The customer complied.
Now. two cents postage and five
cents for a money order.
What"
Now, two cents postage and five
cents for money order, to a mail
order house. you know"
The customer, inwardly raving,
kept to his agreement and paid the
seven cents.
Now, twenty Ave cents expressage."
We'll. Til be- he said, but paid
it, saying: Now hand me that saw
and I'll take 1t home myself and be
rid of this foolery."
Hand it to you? Where do you
think you are? You're in Alabama
and I'm in Chicago, and you'll have
to wait two weeks for that saw
Whereupon the dealer hung the
saw on a peg and put the money In
his cash drawer.
THAT makes 1857" he said. at
has cost you two cents more and
taken you two weeks longer to get
it than If you had paid my price in
the first place"

The Bridgeport Gas Company is to establish January 1st 1915 schedule of rates based what is considered the most modern gas practice which is abso utey fair and equitable both all consumers and the owners of the Company.
 It will be readily that while the nnanufactur ing may nearly all gas made, the cost of distribution selling will not vary exactly the proportion the quantity furnished For example, it costs the company much the meter the clerical work for the using hundred cubic feet per month for using thousand times To fifty thousand cubic feet customers using 2OO0 cubic f each requires metets 25 street connections 25 monthly readings of the meters and the clerical work necessary keep accounts makesthe collections. To sell 5OOOo 1t to single consumer only connection, meter, reading and one account required As these items por- ant factors in total cost serving the consumer company adopting this schedule, is taking account of
 titles to the single The larger the amounts used the less proportienay is this cost to the company and the price charged the should be govered accordingly
 It will be noticed that the schedule is worked ont cumulative basis that each consumer the amount for the quantity of and the steps in e schedule fairly within the reach Of the naodeTase
 The maximum net price to the smallest user li be dollar $4 O0) thousand cubic feet at present By net price meant the price fl bill s paid by e 1o cubic feet less discount of 10 cents per thousa for counts will be allowed for quantities used trogh single

 The company anticipates that the establishment of will by the increased gas mechanca and manufacturing operations enlarge the that it will enable them to make reduction in the maximum base rate to the smaller volume of business increases to point where with the which be effected in handling larger quantity the may be sufficiently reduced to justify such reduction
 This policy to all consumers the benefit to be derived the quantity of the company will place gas within the reach of manufacturers various mechanical and manufacturing operations the increased earnings from the wnolesae business of the Company will benefit the small consumer by making possible reduction in the base rate
