DELIVERING THE GOODS.

The rational organization of our
chaotic city delivery systems is max
ing good progress. Abuses and dupli-
cations are being eliminated. Tn
necessary service, tolerated because
merchants and their patrons were Will
ing to stand the cost, is being cur
tailed in the interest Of economy.
Goods are being transferred from the
store to the home in a simpler and
therefore a more efficient way.
Akron, O., affords a good example
of the tendency The retail mer-
chants association has decided that
deliveries must be pooled and zoned
from a certain point, instead Of every
merchant operating his own delivery
system throughput the city with the
endless repetition Of routes and duplF
cation of equipment that the old
method entails.
Only one delivery is to be made per
day to any person, and in order to
discourage special delivery requests
a customer will be charged for such
deliveries at the rate Of 10 cents for
small parcels and 25 cents for large
ones. II any article bought and left
to be called for on a certain date is
left in the store after that date, there
will be a charge Of rs cents, No goods
will be returnable two business days
after they were purchased. Certain
kinds of merchandise including bed.
ding, altered garments, shoes, hair
goods and rubber goods are not to be
returnable.
All these are proper economy meas
ures, as any fair-minded customer
must admit II should not be over
looked, however, that inasmuch as the
burden of the economies falls chiefly
on the customers, they should bene
fit accordingly in lower prices. II
the merchants proceed to pocket at
they save by limiting the customary
delivery privileges, they will find theil
new system extremely unpopular, and
will be unable to obtain the willing
cooperation necessary for its success
