New Coupon
Waybin Reduces
Expressmen Work

Employees of the local express office
are busy studying the new coupon
waybilling system which is TO go into
effect December 1 in all parts of the
United States.
The new coupon waybill is an i'm
provement over the old form in that
1t enables the clerk to make all neces-
sary copies at one writing.
When q driver makes out receipt
under the new system, he will at the
same time be filling in the necessary
spaces in the Office copy. the waybill
record and the delivery sheet At the
present time the delivery sheet has to
be made out separately.
When the system was first an
nounced two writings were necessary.
At the rate of 100000 shipments a
day which the American Railway Elk
press Company throughout the coun-
try is making. the substitution of one
writing for two will save the work
of calling and billing 3O0,000,o00 ship
ments a year The rearrangement of
the coupon waybill. which enabled all
the work to be done at one writing,
was the idea of J. w. Carpenter of
New York The expense which the
new system Is expected to save in la
Dor is estimated at s2.0O0.o0o.
