 System in TifIin, Ohio. -I1f1n, Ohio, was the next city visit eu. This city has a population Of about 12,000, and has delivery sys- tenn similar to the Mansfield plan, ex- cept smaller.
 rms system was formed ten years ago and was operated on a co-opera- tive basis up to d few months ago, when the equipment was sold to a private party and the buildings rent ed to him. The change was made in Tiftin for the same reason as in Mansfield With the addition that the cooperative company had not been very successful in securing a good manager. When the new owners took possession, the payment plan was changed from piece price to a weekly rate.
 T1ffin has four deliveries daily ex- cept on Saturday which has five They use seven rigs on regular days and nine on Saturday. It has sixteen
  and several of the provision stores are general stores and a great var iety of goods are delivered. The most bulky material which I saw de- livered was baled hay.
 This system employs mostly men and the average wage is about $10.50 ptr week. one driver gets $2 a week extra and assists with stable work.
 I was at this station on Saturday afternoon when the business was heaV- jest and in comparison with other systems it seemed that they were us- ing too few teams.
 Ann Arbor Visited.
 Ann Arbor, Michigan, was the next city visited. The city has a population of 5000 and in addition 5000 stu dents attending the University of Michigan. It's delivery system was started about ten years ago has al- ways been a strictly cooperative one. It is especially substantial and suc- cessful. The manager has held that position since the company started. Rates are governed by the piece price and the tag system is used entirely. The manager admits some of the same

one objection which m ght De in the minds of the New Britain provision dealers this is the fact that New England grocery and provision dealers make a practice every day of sending out men with tca fc &nd soliciting business. These n- -s r.tu1n with their teams and orders and return and deliver the goods. This system is eliminated by the central idea and many merchants might feel that that would mean a loss of business. Re- suits in other places have shown that this fear is unfounded and there would be nothing to prevent a provi- sion dealer from sending out a solici- tor on foot without the bother of a team and make a house to house so- licitatin and who could from time to time in the progress of his trip tele- phone in his orders to the house and have them sent out on the next de- livery.
 New Britain merchants are con- fronted with the problem of out-of- town buying. There is one thing which would offset much of this. This is the installing of a central delivery system. which would give a service to the consumers in New Britain far superior to that in any other city in New England and every up-to-date merchant knows that service has as much to do today with getting new business and holding old as price.
 Your committee feels that there is no one thing that can be brought about in New Britain which will do more to up-build the city and place it on the map, and we place before you this evening the results of our inves- tigation up-to-date.

The present milk de- livery system, he said Is the most in- efficient one known and by placing 1t on the other basis and delivering the milk from central station, from two to three cents a quart can be saved by the consumer. This state ment, he added, is not the result of tn- vestigations made here but was found true by investigations elsewhere.

For fully thirtytive (35) years the L. & M. Semi-MiXed Real Paints have been extensively used throughout the United States and also in South Amer lea.

price is practically two and one-half per cent. of the gross amount of busi- ness done or, as an illustration: The largest grocer and provision dealer in Mansfield, doing business of $1O0,00O a year. is paying s2,400 for his delivery. Tn Mansfield today the provisions people are the principal l users of the system.
 There are twenty-five regular users and twelve teams are used covering g the twelve routes. Four trips are made on regular days and six on Sat- urdays and the days before holidays. On Saturdays three additional teams are used.
 Greater Use Of Telephone.
 Grocers and provision dealers do not send out men soliciting orders and have not for years, but. depend entirely upon their advertising to bring in the orders. Telephone busi- ness is large item with them. The delivery men are allowed to bring in orders to the merchants although they do not solicit orders. Every dealer whom I interviewed expressed entire satisfaction with this method of getting business.
 Deliveries are made on a c. o. D.. basis if the merchant so desires. The delivery team must in those cases bring back the money or the goods.
 In the Mansfield system, boys or young men between the ages of sixteen and twenty are used as drivers at wages from $6 to $10 week. These drivers do not care for their horses. The boys are considered more eff cient as delivery clerks as they do their work quicker and there is no interruption because of drunkenness.
 I had the pleasure of meeting the largest user of the system. also a smaller user and their comments of the system were all favora ble. The secretary of the Chamber of Com merce, who is not connected with the delivery system in any way, states that it is most favorably looked upon by all the people. l asked the larg est user of the system what he would do in case for any reason the delivery system had to discontinue and he stated that he would go out of business as under no circumstances would he ever take up his own driv- cry again. One party interviewed was one of those who made a study of systems before the system in Mans field was installed. and he stated that the systems had been in operation in various sections of Ohio for over twelve years or more and to the best of his Knowledge there was no case on record where the system of this kind had once been inaugurated that the merchants had gone back to their old method. The universal claim Is that the saving to the merchant is from thirty to fifty per cent.
 It is the opinion of MT. Ford of the Delivery company that a deliv- cry system which does not include grocers and meats might be operated
