Reverting to paper waste, there is no
excuse for extravaganza on the score
that each bit of wrapping paper need
lessly used in the stores represents
merely an infnitesimal cost. The mills
and quarter cents involved in wasteful
parcel covering in the stores reach
total in the course of a busy day that
any one would be glad to get as re-
bate. To each individual this waste is
insignificant. until perhaps the year has
rolled up it's heavy aggregate.
There need be no fear on the part
of the consumer that the merchant who
is enabled to reduce costs through the
demands of his customers for economical
deliveries will not play fair and render
the return in decreased expenses back
to the one who buys. No retail merchant
could possibly afford to pocket this saw
ing as an additional profit. 1t is the
rule. the law of trade. that goods must
be sold at the lowest possible point com
mensurate with cost, else trade is lost
to rivals.
