IT TAKES statistcian occasionally to set
people straight about things they think
= they know.
The man in tie street has been using some
big figures lately about war profits.
We have the highest authority for telling
his wjfe that the cost of delivering merchandise
from various stores to the homes in this city
is ten times as great as all the war profits
that have come here.
And what makes it most interesting to the
thrifty housewife is the fact that 20 to so per
cent of that cost is absolutely Wasted. 49,
Look out of your window the next time
your storekeeper delivers goodS
What you see will show you whether you
are dealing with business man or not
Is he delivering with horse and wagon?
You may know then that he is restricting his bust
ness because he is restricting his radius Of doing
business.
That means that he IS not buying to the best
advantage. His overhead is too high. You are
likely to lose in the quality of the goods he
sells you.
Ishe delivering with converted pIeameear? That
Is the first mistake he is likely to make. pleasure
that is not and designed
that cannot stand the stran-that burns up gas and oil
out of proportion and is old before the paint is worn
That is the man who says motor delivery does pay
simply because it costs him than it ought to cost

place the car left the road and
overturned. All jumped as the
ear overturned with the exeep-
tion II Lawrence Jacobs, who was
caught beneath the machine but
