of the upkeep and radius covered. we
have decided in favor Of the Overland
delivery wagons.
During the war we desired to do our
part by curtailing deliveries. In the
days OF the horse and wagon Il would

d. this and still maintain the expected
degree Of service. We cut our schedule
Of deliveries from four to two each day
and OF course this necessitated covering
q greater distance per trip. With the
