CHICAGO. Dec. 6.-Mayor Benja-
min Bosse OF Evansville, Ind, Is not
waiting for congressional investiga,
ton to reduce the high cost Of liv-
ing. He expects to do 1t himself by
putting the municipality In the produce
business. He is in Chicago today
contracting with wholesalers for car.
load lots OF potatoes and other food
products. which he will sell to the
public direct from the cars, thus
eliminating the middle mans profit.
by this means he hopes to educate
the Evansville retail dealers In food
stuffs to new system Of doing
business that will save money for
both the public and themselves. II
the campaign of education proves to
be long, he Is prepared, for he will
let contract December IL for the
erection OF municipal market build
ing in which his plan will be con-
tinued.
The food stuffs that Mayor Bosse
Is buying In Chicago will; be sold to
Evansville Consumers at cost plus
the freight charges. The cost OF
handling them In Evansville win be
negligible. Bosse says, since there
will be no delivery except OF large
purchases. A small additional charge
will be made to purchasers who re-
quire delivery. The consumers will
60 TO the cars with their market
baskets, pay cash and carry the
goods home.
Mayor Bosses project is based on
the theory that the public pays too
much for service in its dealings with
o&oH II ~ - a
blame for the high cost of living at
stead of the old time market basket,
livery wagon now a days, he says,
and the grocer Is obliged to main
tain an expensive delivery system.
II hope to educate the public to
the idea of doing the buying of food
stuffs on a cash basis and carrying
the goods home" he said. Then
want to teach the grocers that they
can sell goods on the cash basis and
to reduce their prices accordingly
If purchaser buys his goods for
cash and takes them home in bask-
ct, he saves the grocers the cost Of
wrapping and delivery and should re-
ceive the benefit OF 1t. 1 hope to
show the grocers that 1t will pay them
to establish departments for that
kind Of buying. When deliveries are
demanded, they should be paid for by
the purchasers who make the de-
mand. The public must learn that II
it would keep prices down. it must
hold down the amount Of service 1t
gets with its purchases"
Mayor Bosse Will not handle meats
under his plan, until his market
building is finished and he has facil-
ities for cold storage.
