ASK ECONOMY in
DELIVERY SERVICE
Council of National Defense,
Washington, July 9. 1917.

Washing NOhs SuAy D AJAts
To the Several State Councils of De-
Tense:
We invoke your assistance in taking
immediate steps to bring about econ
omy in the delivery service of retail
stores. Thousands of men and vehi-
cles are now unnecessarily employed
in the delivery service of retail stores
throughout the country. and it seems
obvious that in this time of emer-
gency the waste thereby occasioned
should be no longer endured.
The commercial economy board, by
direction of this council, has made a
careful investigation, and the facts
below presented are established be-
yond dispute. We present them some
what fully in the hope that you may
secure wide publicity for them in the
press of your State.
The retail stores of the country can
dispense with many thousand men
and vehicles and still perform all the
necessary delivery service. These men
and this equipment could be used far
more advantageously for other pur-
poses. There are also in the depart
ment stores many men and much
equipment unnecessarily employed in
delivering small parcels and making
extra trips.
In ordinary retail grocery stores
the common figure for delivery ex-
pense is 3 per cent of the net sales.
In the stores selling fancy groceries,
and therefore catering to a class of
trade requiring more expensive serv-
ice, the delivery expense is even
higher
Our figures show that in depart
ment stores the total delivery ex-
pense, including every step from the
time the package is wrapped up until
it reaches the customer, ranges from
/ to 6-10 per cent of the sales. The
average figure for department stores
in large cities is about 4 per cent.
The cost of delivery in department
stores and large speciality stores
ranges from cents to 25 cents a
package.
Such heavy costs for delivery are
due chiefly to an unjustified demand
on the part of customers for wholly
unnecessary service. In retail gro
Gerry stores delivery expense has in
creased by delivering articles that
customers could conveniently carry
and by too frequent delivery of small
quantities of merchandise as an ac-
commodation service. In department
stores and dry goods stores probably
one-half of the articles delivered
could be carried home by the pur-
chasers without any inconvenience;
and during the war a bundle under
the arm should be regarded as a sign
of honor.
In one department store our rep
resentative found four glass tumblers
that had been sold for four cents
apiece being packed for delivery.
They were packed with excelsior IN
basket that cost fifty cents. Owing
to the value of the basket the driver
