CHARGE FOR DELIVERY.

The town Of Austin, a suburb OF Chi-
cago, has a new device to lower the
cost Of provisions. for the benefit OF
those who care enough about the same
10 70 to a little trouble. The grocers
have figured out that delivering goods
costs them, on an average. five cents
per order. They have therefore
agreed to make a fiat charge OF hse
cents for every delivery Thus Gus
toners taking their own purchases
hohe win save nickel.
It may look. on the face OF 1t, as
II those grocers have merely hit on b
new plan to raise prices. But they
maintain that they expect to make no
more by it--that It's only a device by
which they may distribute expenses
eouitably. They say that by charging
for delivery they can lower their
prices, thus enabling the housewives
who DO their own marketing to effect
I real saving.
They also agree to charge an extra
cent for charging every order, thus
giving q slight advantage to custom
srs who pay cash and making possible
q six.cent saving for every trip to the
store.
The idea Is no doubt worth copying.
In large cities, where delivery wagons
must cover q greater distance, great
er saving should be possible.
Every merchant knows what large
part OF his expenses is due to the de-
livery OF goods. In the case OF small
purchases, the delivery often costs as
rsuch 81 the goods are worth There
ought to be a fair adjustment OF the
burden. Delivery Is a useful and i'm
portant part OF the mercantile bust
ness, but those who benefit by It
should pay for It and those who do
their own delivering should be com
pensated.
