This Is shown by the fact that va

the 3obbers' advantage In buying and
generally giving in turn to the con-
sumers q portion Of this saving.
The great variety OF food products
make that economical only for the
large retailers, but that this describes
the situation Is illustrated BY con-
sidering a different line. where . re-

We can take the shoe busiHeas, and
In all the large cities We nnd the
manufacturers have gone past both

their own stores direct to consumer.
This is made possible by 1t being for
one article only. and could not be

Stop and think of some ono we'll

retailer. say. for example, Royal Bak-
IL Powder. About 1000 wholesale
grocers through the United states
may buy this and distribute It with
all their other goods to the small re-

10 ssh to perhaps 100000 retailers. At
an expense far greater than the jobbers
profit. If they should eliminate both
middlemen, the jobbers and the re-
tailers, and sell direct to consumer,
the expense would be so excessive
that they would have to charge q
higher retail price than Is obtained
now by the retail grocer.
If a consumer is large enough, just

the retailer and buy from the jobber.
and any consumer can buy cheaper

Others prefer to save time and
trouble by telephoning orders to
their retail grocer, have goods sent
home and pay monthly bill.
The consumer must be allowed to
Judge which method he prefers, the
greater service at the regular stores
or. at the less services. with lower
cost, at the cash stores. Certainly
no one else can Judge for him
The whole point we are trying to
make is that no one can succeed in

BUSINESS MEMS CLUB RE-
CEIvES GOVERNMENT LETTER

Secretary John s. Frazer of the
Business Mems Club, is in receipt
of the following letter:
"The war in which we are now
engaged is war of economic re-
sources. 1t is absolutely essential
to the successful prosecution of the
war that everyone make his or her
contribution to the economic well
fare of the country. The produce
ton of food a vital and present
duty resting on every man and wo-
man who can help it along. With
out food workmen can not work,
nor can armies fight.
"THE FOOD SUPPLY. OF THE
COUNTRY MUST BE INCREASED,
and urge upon you to cooperate
in every way with the Department
of Agriculture in its campaign to
increase the crops of the country.
Will you not take this subject up
at once with the membership of
your association, pointing out to
them the needs of the situation and
urge immediate action9 / suggest
that every organization should have
a committee on the production of
foodstuirs and that the assistance
of women's organizations be enlist
ed in the campaign.
81 need not point out that the
planting season rs at hand, and
that any action to be effective must
be taken at the earliest possible
moment. In the United States, as
in the warning countries of Europe
the effects of this struggle will be
felt by everyone and economic pre-
paredness will greatly lessen the
burden that we must carry.
Very truly yours,
