Plans Of Rock Island retail gro
GERS to hold a meeting last night
for the purpose OF deciding on a
permanent delivery plan for at
least the duration of the war, was

held Wednesday night Of this week
The grocers state that they prob
ably will adopt a slogan that is be-
ing used in other cities, order to-
day what YOU need for tomorrow. y
and will attempt TO have their Gus
toners abide by the slogan
1t is claimed that in cities where
this is done that much Of the de-
livery work is abolished and that
as a rule the deliveries can be
made in the morning, releasing the
delivery truck driver for work in
the store in the afternoon, and thus
using less help in compliance with
the request of the government.
1t is desired 10 arrange a plan
that will prove satisfactory and
at the same time release men who
VINO are needed in the army and in
the munition factories. 1t is con-
sidered probable that the matter of
charges for deliveries will also be
brought up at the meeting Wedues-
