PASSING OF TIN PEDDLER
Modern Transportation Methods Have
Caused New England Business
Fixture to Disappear.

The automobile, trolley car and 9th
er latter day improvements have driv-
en- the tin peddler out of business.
Only few short years ago every
section Of New England had several
tin peddlers canvaSSing through the
city streets and along the country
roads looking for business, says the
Boston Globe. They sold everything
from a paper Of pins to a wash boiler.
They bought your old rags and news
papers and sometimes exchanged them
for bar of soap or a teakettle.
Nowadays the tin peddler is no
more.
The tin peddler's cart is like wom-
ans sewing basket; there is little of
everything in it. Rag bags trail along
behind, the sides open like the cage
OF the animals in the circus; brOoms
stand maJestically In the rear and
there are box-like compartments for
every conceivable article Of merchan'
disc under the drivers seat.
The tin peddler's cart has been a
sort of travelling country store, but Its
usefulness has been wiped out by
quick transportation to all trade cen
ters. With its passing another New
England business fixture Is no more.

COTTON FROM "OTHER SIDE''
SaIesglrI Makes Slip in Using Excuse
That Has Become So Common
Since War Started.

The excuse that everything we buy
must either be inferior in grade or
else much more expensive than be-
fore the war has now become so uni.
versal that 1t Is brought forward re-
gardless of circumstances by sales
men and saleswomen.
The Othe: day in II large shop three
women from cotton growing states
asked for white cotton stockings.
The girl offered some. They were
not Of the quality desired, and she
brought out others.
Haven't you any openwOrk cotton
stOckings?" asked the customer.
The saleswoman shook her head.
"You know it's impossible to get
cotton since the war;" she informed
the customers glibly. "YOu see we
have to get all our cotton from the
other side"
And the three customers from cot
ton states bore it with the customary
talent for martyrdOm Of the Ameri'
can public.

FROM FARM TO TABLE
Better Methods Of Using the Par
Gel Post Are Sought.
Uncle Sans Experts Trying to Work
Out New Ways of Transporting
Agricultural Products.

officials of Uncle Sans department
of agriculture, who have striven long
to bring the producer and consumer to-
gether for the sale of farm products,
are now trying to work out better
methods of transportation.
Although the marketing Of farm
produce by parcel post is relatively
new in the United States, it is, in fact,
tween producer and consumer. which
was the very earliest type of market
ing. Only the transportation medium
is new in parcel-pOSt trading. This
is to certain extent paralleled by ex-
press which has been available and
has been utilized by some farmers for
many years. Even with the older
forms of direct dealing, in which
sales are made from house to house
or through farmers markets, parcel
post marketing has points in common
in that the actual producer of the
goods is known to the consumer of
them, and the satisfaction or dissat-
isfactlon of the latter has direct
and potent effect on the success of the
formers business.
Quite naturally, in spite of these
general similarities many new prob
lens in the marketing of farm pro-
duce were created when the mail Sys-
TEN was made available for transpOr-
tation of relatively bulky commodities,
all post offices and rural routes there
by being made shipping agencies. This
was in striking contrast to the facilt-
ties furnished by the older transpOr-
tation systems, which the farmer could
use only by making trip to rail
road or express office. Many of the
problems, a great many Of which still
exist, have been attacked by the office
of markets of the department, which
has made it's work hundreds of ex-
perlmental shipments of various COM
mOdities over varying distances under
different seasonal and other conditions
and has studied methods of grading
and packing and of tranSaCting busi-
ness.
Success in parcel-post marketing, ex-
perts of the office have found during
their studies, demands that the farm
er continue to give thought to details
after proper preparation of his goods
for shipment. The mere placing of the
packages in the mails at any time Is
not sufficient, they say. Mail sched-
ules should be carefully looked into
and the commodities should be started
on their journey, if possible, so that
they will travel chiefly at night and
reach their destination early the fol-
lowing day. Such methods, it is said,
have been worked out by the farmers
who are carrying on the most success
full businesses with the city people.
Commodities travelling at night thus
utilize natural refrigeration, since the
nights are usually colder than the
days. 1t is especially important, 1t is
pointed out, that such precautions be
taken in the shipments of products
like butter or lard, which may be liqul-
fed by heat, and dressed fowls and
other meats, which may spoil If they
become warm.

JEWELLERS TO SAVE PLATINUM
Agree to Use Gold in Its Place Wher.
ever Possible to Conserve Supply
for Government.

In order to conserve the supply of
platinum, for which Uncle Sam may
have great need in prosecution of war,
the jewelers. vigilance committee is
sued an appeal to the jewelry trade of
the country to discontinue the use of
the metal wherever possible. The
committee asked all manufacturing
and retail jewellers in the country to
discourage the manufacture and sale
of platinum in all bulky and heavy
pieces of jewelry and its use in all
parts of jewelry where it is not essen
tial, and where gold will serve salts
factorily.
The committee urged the jewelry
trade to encourage the use of gold in
combination with platinum wherever
artistic results may be obtained By
such combination.

make an expensive fuel, burning with
