DISCUSSES THE EXPENSE
OF DELIVERY SERVICE
Merchant Approves The Stars Sug-
gestion That Buyers Garry Home
Own Bundles.

| DRIVERS for delivery automobiles are
| becoming scarce, and l anticipate they
will become more so as the need of the
government for this class of workers
increases.
only recently we have been COM
PEELED to pay more wages TO get these
drivers. 1t looks as il merchants would
| be compelled to curtail the numbers of
deliveries they can make in day. If
| so. this will be good thing Tor the
consumer. because it vii! effect ma
terial reduction in overhead charges,
| and such reduction in overhead ex-
pense always accrues to the buyers ad-
vantage
This is the opinion of Samuel Hart of
Lansburgh & Brother, department
store.
Commends Stars Campaign.
Mr.. Hart commended the campaign of
The Star urging buyers to carry home
small bundles, as one which you'd re-
duce overhead costs and therefore
I'm normally busy times we deliver
from 1.200 to 1900 packages a day."
Mr.. Hart said. ''Of course, the mum Der
runs much higher at Christmas, and n
little lower in some especially dull sea-
sons.
I'VE have made studies of the value
and sizes of packa ges delivered, and
fully % per cent of them could be car
RED home by customers as easily as not
without inconvenience.
Experience of every department
store is the same in this respect: deliv-
cries are made of small packages
sometimes packages which could be
slipped in bag or carried in the hand
as easily as a pair of gloves.
Now. it costs us cents apiece, we
figure. to deliver each of these 1900 or
more packages daily. We are willing
to assume that charge if the customer
desires to pay it. But why should the
customer do so? Is the service worth
the cost? ] doubt if it would be if the
customer were brought face to face
with the fact that he is paying at that
rate for sending Il small parcel home
Being an airect charge, the buyer
does not rehze the expense entailed'

4th of July when every one in this

that morning was procession up
Main street to the railway station
and a train load of passengers on the

ronage of the people of the North vii
lage that makes this end of the line
pay. on account of the necessity for
going to the larger town to trade,
and for amusement, as the packed
cars on Saturday nights and at other
times will testify; and on the rare
occasions when little extra service
is requested it seems no more than
just that it should be granted, at
least this is the view point of one of
those who waited for the sleeper
