usinr Mail to Save Travel

Even tho there's no highway be- tween Mena and Rocky there are other conveniences. For instance, Riding, the Seed Man, received an or der by mail Tuesday from well known farmer living near Rocky. The farmer was too busy to make the B. mile drive between his farm and Mena, SD he mailed an order for food, feed and seed to the Mena merchant, using the rural free delivery for this purpose. The order directed Mir. Rid ling to ship the goods desired to Pot ter. which station, thanks to the big bend in the Kansas City Southern is almost directly south of Rocky, and only about miles from the farmers home. The combination of mail order and railroad shipment handled by an accomodating merchant permitted the farmer to get his goods by travelling six miles instead of sixteen.
