PUBLIC FORUM.

Alpha. Michigan.
November nth, 1919
To Editor Diamond Drill:
la your last weeks issue of the
Diamond Drill noticed your compar.
ison OF fair prices of Crystal Falls
and Chicago.
AS some OF your Crystal Falls
stores make delivery each day at
Alpha | was particularly glad to
know that my prices here are lower
than those of your city.
For instance: Your Crystal Falls
merchants are asking zoe for fresh
eggs. My price has never been above
Gao. Crystal Falls price on sugar.
lac; my price IL lie Crystal Falls
price on navy beans. 13c; my price
l2c Crystal Falls price on corn
meal, 7c; my price &C.
am sorry indeed, that you did
not print list OF all prices on gro
ceries and fresh meats as | would be
pleased TO compare the whole line
! do not think the merchants OF
your city are asking too much, for
groceries and meats. considering their
overhead expense. But when you
consider the cost TO your Crystal
Falls merchant for long deliveries IL
Is easy to see why they are compell-
ed TO get high prices.
How much do you think il costs
each month for a deliveryman and
driver. gasoline, the upkeep, OF G
truck. etc?
Does your local merchant ever stop
to consider that he charges the local
people Just as much and, in some cas-
es, more than the people to whom he
is making these long deliveries?
II is my idea that live man In the
grocery business in your city who
would eliminate the long delivery
system would be able to underseil all
competitors and give your local peo-
pie satisfaction.
Why should the people OF Crystal
Falls be compelled to pay the ex-
pense OF deliveries to Alpha and far
away locations?
You probably can remember a few
years back a merchant In your city
who had ten double team deliveries
positively know that HIS sales were
over $1,000 day. and yet he quit the
business because OF the tremendous
overhead expense.
