Stations Is Great.
DELIVERY PROBLEM SOLVED
Use Of General Depot Encourages and
Facilitates Transfer Of Goods oriai-
mating on One Route and Des-
tined to Another.

A noticeable feature of the opera
tion of rural motor routes into and
out Of various cities. which have come
under the observation of Investigators
of the bureau of markets. United
States department of agriculture, Is
the lack of central receiving or dis
tributing stations. In each city the
operators maintained their own indi-
vidual stations and each carried on
his own business independent Of the
business Of others.
Overhead Expenses Big.
Where a number of Independent
routes have their terminals In a given
city. the overhead expenses incident
to the maintenance of Individual ter
minal stations are multiplied many
times. while the advantages of a GEN.
trail terminal are lost altogether.
These advantages are very real. In
the first place. central terminal for
group Of rural routes Is in itself
an advertisement of the services in
that the attention OF the shipping pub
lie Is drawn to the possibilities Of
motor transportation. The use of a
central terminal encourages and facili-
tates the transfer of goods originating
on one route and destined to some
point on another route. The problem
Of city delivery. which Is serious in
large cities, can be solved by means
of a common delivery service, sup
ported by all operators who use the
central terminal. This eliminates OPP
