OVERHEAD COSTS.
Telephone orders, Expensive Delivery
service and the CITY Market.

To THE EDITOR or THE SUN--Sir! The
shop butchers in particular and several
OF the other store Keepers are much exer-
cised over the action OF borough Presl-
dent Marks IN establishing rent free pub
lie markets.
The dealers contend that they cannot
possibly compete with the men In those
markets that have no rent to pay or other
overhead expenses, nor would II be fair
to ask them to do So
But did not the dealers force Mr.. Marks
to take this step in establishing these free
markets? one Of the best equipped mar
kets in the matter Of delivery In this city
has assured me that II costs him 20 per
cent. or his gross sales to make deliveries,
while another of tho largest and best
managed OF the uptown markets makes
tho assertion that Its loss In bad debts
Ii 20 per cent of Its net profits.
A woman that takes her basket on her
arm, pays cash for what she wants and
takes her purchase along saves the deal
ers the Item OF expense In making the
delivery. besides by paying spot cash
guarantees the dealer against bad debts.
What advantage has this woman over
the one that Will sit In her Nat, tele-
phone In her order and compel the store
keeper to use an able bodied man with
horse and wagon or auto truck TO make
a trinng delivery that not only Increases
dealer for doing business?
These dealers compel the thrifty house
keeper that pays spot cash for her goods
and saves them the cost of delivery to
pay the bad debts OF the indifferent house
keeper. Now the dealers declare that II is
not fair for the city to compel them to
pay taxes to maintain free markets in
opposition to their own business. yet the
dealers themselves are doing that same
thing IN compelling the houBekeeper that
pays cash 10 pay the same prices as the
housekeeper that saddles the dealer with
an expensive delivery system In addition
to the extension Of credit.
