War Message to the
Retail Merchants

You, as a retail merchant, are cal
led upon to take a definite part in
nation wide program for making
the best use Of men and materials
in the conduct Of the war. The re-
quest comes from tie Commercial
Economy Board of tce Council of
National Defense. The Board asks
you to plan for the elimination of
unnecessary work. Its recommen-
dations will make it possible for you
to operate with smaller forces and
successfully meet your own labor
problems. When any of your en-
ployees leave to join the, fighting
forces do not replace them if you
can help it. To replace them would
mean taking workers from farms,
munitions factories, railroads, ship
yards, or the like, or from the al
ready short supply Of workers avail
liable fc- t1tse vital industries. ms
tead, the Board asks you to try to
get on with the force you have left.
In many cases the reduction of deli
very service will make men availa-
BILE for other positions in your store
from which men have been taken
for military or other essential work.
AS a means of doing this with the
least possible inconvenience to you
and your trade, the Commercial Eco
nomy Board of the Council of Ma
tional Defense and this Council ur-
ges the following:
1. That you reduce your delive-
ries to one a day over each route.
2. That the privilege Of return
ing merchandise be limited to 3 days.
8. That cooperative delivery sys-
TENS be established.
One delivery day over each route
The Morgan City daily review. (Morgan City, La.) 1916-1920, 1918-05-06

does not necessarily mean that each
automobile or wagon shall leave the
stores only once day. Each auto
mobile or wagon may make severol
trips a day, but each trip should be
over a different route.
These are definite concrete recon-
mendations that are being success
fully applied to all classes of busi-
ness. The Commercial Economy
Board also recommends that mer-
chants adopt plans of their own to
eliminate or curtail special delive-
ries and the handling Of needless
C. o. D. orders.
Cooperative delivery systems COM
monty save one half and frequently
save more in delivery expenses when
compared with the operations of in
dividual systems. We will be glad
to supply literature on this subject
to merchants who are interested in
it.
If these recommendations have
not already been carried out in your
store and your town, you and all
other retail merchants are urged to
carry them out without delay. 1t
is Of the greatest Importance that
you do this and do it at once. The
object is directly and solely to con-
serve manpower and material for
the nations defense. By co-opera-
ting, you will help to win the war.

Investigating Locations
Here

At a recent meeting of the Cham
Der of Commerce, held for the pur-
pose of discussing ways and means
to meet the housing question in Nor
gan City and Berwick, Manager w.
c. Harman was instructed to wire
the Chairman Of the Housing Com
mittee of the Shipping Board at
Washington, asking for information
as to what amount of assistance
this city might expect from the
Board, in future efforts that might
be put forth here to provide ade-
quate housing facilities The tele-
gram was worded as follows:
"To what extent may our citizens
expect assistance from the Govern
ment in a cooperative effort to sup
ply housing facilities for the employ
ees of the Emergency Fleet Corpo-
ration Yard now located here. Cities
anxious to build if Government will
point way. Proposed sites for the
Concrete Shipyard recently inspect
ed by Messers Parker and Hubbard" "
To date, no reply has been receiv-
ed, due no doubt to the enormous
press Of business carried by the Board
at this time. The reply will have a
bearing of the greatest importance
on the most important question con-
fronting Morgan City and Berwick,
today. 1t will be given immediate
publicity in these columns.
Meantime every effort should be
put forth by private individuals who
are in a position to accomplish re-
suits along this line. No one at this
time can doubt the necessity of this
work-a need that when it is met
will rebound to the vast benefit OF
the community -at-large and do
the financial enhancement Of the pu-
blic-spirited individuals who see the
light and by practical efforts make
the vision reality. 1t is like the
Liberty Loan proposition-a buyer
is told that he should not consider
he is thus patriotically aiding his
Government, he is making a mighty
fine investment.
So it is with Morgan City and Ber-
! wick. They must have, to properly
develop their marvellous resources,
and permanently secure the interest
of the thousands, that there is eve
ry reason to believe will cast their
lot with this community, adequate
and permanent housing facilities.
/ Contructive work must be done on
the assumption that this added po-
pulation is here to stay-give them
chance to secure home and their
intere.t in Morgan City ard Ber-
