Delivery Service In Rock Island on Its
Way to Become Only Memory
of Day OF Past.
MEANS SAVING TO CONSUMERS
In Cold Figures Each Trip OF Wagon
or Truck Represents Cost Of
Seven and Half Cents.

Garry your bundles" is the nation
al slogan and as q result deliveries in
Rock Island may soon become thing
Of the past or ut least nearly so, IS It
is ali in accordance with the express
ed wish Of the government, announced
since Americas entry in the war.
Some stores in Rock Island are
operating entirely without deiivedy
service, while others have inaugurated
what is known as charge delivery;
that is, the customer must pay a GER
tain amount to have the parcels deliy
cred to the home.
1t is understood that at the majority
Of the places in Rock Island where a
charge is made for deliveries that the
rule is made that no purchases
amounting to less than SO cents will be
delivered unless 5 or 10 cents is. paid
/ for such service, The ruling is said to
work out with the result that no GUS
toner asks to have anything delivered
by the stores unless purchasing so
cents worth or more, thus avoiding the
direct charge for delivery service. But
| it is said that nevertheless the prac-
| tice of enforcing the rule that no de-
liyeries Of parcels amounting to less
| than half a dollar brings about big
saving to the retailers for it entirely
eliminates the old custom of hauling
spool Of thread, loaf of bread or
other such insignificant purchase.
! Delivery Service Costly.
In cold figures the cost of delivery
I service is actually alarming. It was
stated by a large retail merchant in
Rock Island today that each delivery
made represents cost Of exactly
seven and one-half cents. It was
further explained by the merehan
that this cost must of course be add
ed to the sale price Of merchandise il
stock and as a result the consumer
pays for that delivery service in th'
end THE utter foolishness," he con
tinued, "of spending tn cents TO de
liver a cent spool Of thread is read
, lily seen, and yet that is what tn
, problem amounts to. 1t is just a
J plain to see that where a charge i
I placed on deliveries of small pur
chases or where delivery service i
eliminated altogether, the retailer ca
sell his merchandise at much lowe
: figure.
