WHOLE HOG OR NONE.

WHY should this Commonwealth
share a good thing with the sports
and bookmakers of New York city?
If we are going in for race track gam
bling profits, why do it half-hearted-
VI?
There is abundant room for a new
bureau in our State government. With
an average of four men to a betting
booth and forty booths to race track
opportunity is offered, Furthermore,
for giving it a numerous staff.
With such an easy source of income,
such a simple means of relieving the
lawabiding, long suffering taxpayer of
the burden of taxation for Legislative
expenses, let us grasp it, grasp every
penny that comes from it, whether
through the beggaring of some poor
clerk-devips family or from out his
employers till. If per cent kitty
means 100000 to the State, then 20
per cent. of it (about all the talent
would stand) means 81, 100000
But such a sudden inflow of unex-
pected wealth might lead to eXtrava-
gance. We must guard against that
The News suggests that as much as
possible be set aside as special fund,
to be drawn upon for the salaries of
the States chief executive and judi
ciary and the cost of vice investiga-
tions. And for one other item-a
complete staff of chaplains for the
Legislature and Senate. Some little
of the riches ought surely to be spent
IN the advancement of positive reli-
gion, if only to offset the moral oblo-
guy involved even in the contempla-
ton OF reducing this State to the stat
us of race-track gambler.

This system worked so well and

Der Of wagons has since been reduced
10 three, with business constantly in
creasing.
AT $25 week for each wagon
that means a saving OF $3.50 a week
more than $1,000 a year.
A grocer can't afford to deliver a
can OF corn in hurry for dinner
without somebody paying the bill.
Even with systematized delivery
the cost averages about five to six
cents per order for delivery-about
one and one-half per cent of the
gross sales.
The hurry-up order delivery sep
arately costs a great deal more. An
unscientific delivery system may cost
as high as three or four per cent Of
the gross sales.
Is the grocer going to add that to
the cost of doing business. making
somebody pay the bill7
II he does, that will increase his
expenses and make IL necessary for
him to cut his profits or raise the
price to everybody-that will drive
business away.
He cannot add IL to each individ-
ual bill. That would surely drive
away all of his business, one custom
er at time.
Any grocer who now maintains a
delivery wagon can double or triple
HIS delivery service by systematizing
the delivery.
A grocer who now has three wag-
ons can save the cost OF two with
scientific methods-he can save the
expense Of two delivery outfits-$3C
to $50 a week.
System saves money. Systematic
ing any work saves expense in doins
that work.
That the deliveries can be system.

IAN organizer is better than

A live retailer in the suburbs OF
Boston found himself maintaining
nine delivery wagons.
He could not afford that. II was
eating up his profits. It was big
drag on little business.
He set about to Investigate the
modern methods OF delivery. He cut
the number of wagons to four by
solving his problems this way:
A card was prepared and sent out
20 all OF his customers explaining
TO them that by systemizing his de-
livery he had cut the expense Of sell
ing goods.
A cut I'm the expenses meant small
er prices, a saving of money. to the
customers.
The delivery territory was divided
into four districts and the number
OF deliveries was cut to two a day.
Each customer received a card
with her name written in, giving the
hours Of delivery for that district.
Several Of the customers resented
systematized delivery and threatened
to quit II they could not get grocer
ies an yhour OF the day they wanted
them. The grocery man stood pat.
A few of the customers did quit,
but when they came square against
the facts and found that the delivery
system did mean better prices, they
forgot their desire for every hour
service.
In month they had all come back
with many additional ones. They
found that they, not the grocer. paid
the delivery bills.
Every wagon left the store at 8
o'clock in the morning and at one
o'clck in the afternoon.
Up to 8 o'clock the telephones
were busy for morning deliveries
