COUNCIL BLUFFS MERCHANTS
GREATLY CONCERNED BY M
cREASING EXPENSES.
PATRONS ABUSING
DELIVERY SERVICE
Rivalry Between Competitors Brings
Matters to Climax and Efforts Are
Made to Reach Agreement to Either
Entirely Eliminate or Greatly Reduce
Cost-"Basket" Groceries Cut Figure.
Special to Times-RepubliCan.

Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs, July 19.-That the
cost Of delivery is seriously affecting
their business is freely admitted by
many Council Bluffs grocery dealers
and there is said to be a prospect that
they may overcome the prejudice born
Of sharp competition and make an at
tempt to reach an agreement whereby
the cost may be either entirely eliml-
mated or greatly lessened.
Some of the grocerymen are almost
in despair over conditions. The rival
ry over service" has brought matters
to a climax. said one merchant who
operates four motor wagons and two
motorcycles in it's delivery system. A
reporter who visited his place of BUST
ness happened there on day when ali
of the wagons and motorcycles were
having their off day and were only
partly in use and the reporter fed
but being recalled was told some or
the worries of the groceryman. Some
of our women customers, finest women
ate" said the grocer. AT 80 on Sat
urday one woman came in and ordered
a pound of butter "a and when she
reached home a half hour later called
lis over the phone and literally hayed
us for our slowness. 1t never occurred
to her to carry that pound of butter
home. And I didn't dare open my
head, Sometimes women customers
will phone in four and five orders in
a day and never any two of them at
time when they could be sent on SIN
gle delivery. Fierce? No worse.
Delivery Cost 5000 Annually.
A few of the highest class stores
have for a long time kept one motor
car which is used exclusively for
hurrv-up orders. This, one grocer SAID
has been the cause of much OF our
trouble. I'VE have no one to blame put
ourselves We have been too quick on
the trigger in regard to service ana
we are now SUFFERING The grocer VINO
is quoted pays almost $4,000 d year for
his delivery service.
Some Of the grocerymen are consid-
ering a suggestion that they make use
of the postal delivery and limit deliv-
cries to two a day. II believe the de-
livery system is abused in Council
Bluffs more than any place in the
country" said a leading grocer. "Peo-
pie move here from other cities and in
giving an order for groceries apologize
for asking to have them delivered
early the next day. But they soon for
sake their kind ways" r,,.... ~
The introduction in Council Blura
the past year Of so-called basket stores
which make no deliveries Of orders less
than SO has affected the other grocers,
it is said, to some extent. Their ex-
penses are so much less that they
claim to be able to undersell their
who maintain high priced
delivery systems. and those who do are
in despair.

REUSED OVER ROAD.
Lincoln Highway Field Secretary Ae.
cuses Iowa Folks Of Carelessness.

Nevada, July 19.-H. G. Osterman, OF
Detroit, field secretary Of the Lincoln
Highway Association, stopped off In
the city for short time Tuesday eve
ming and got into wordy battle with
local parties over road conditions. en-
tering strong protest over the man
ner in which the Lincoln highway had
been treated by Iowa people.
His complaint Is in conflict with the
report which State Consul Coan. OF
Clinton, made following the trip that
he and other officials has recently
completed Coan commends the state
of Iowa for the work and splendid
improvement shown on the highway
thru the state.
Ostermann was loud in his de-
nounciation of the roads in Iowa and
before leaving threatened to take ac-
ton looking toward the withdrawal OF
the line from the Clinton to Council
: Bluffs route and divert it over some OF
the other cross-state highways.
