One Way To Cut

A MATERIAL reduction in retail food prices might be
effected by the establishing FL Paso of a common
wholesale terminal Tor the receipt and distribution of
me OF commodities Such terminals successfully IN
use N some other cities Of America, notably INDIANAPOLIS
Seattle, and in a less efficient way IN Chicago
By means Of wholesale terminal food prod
ucs arriving IN the city by rail could be unloaded on
platform to the wholesaler who leases space From another
platform the other side Of the building the retailer could
get the food and haul to his store This would eliminate
the present extra cost and labor of hauling goods from the
freight dePots to the wholesale houses from there to
the retail stores.
Every dollar in expense that can be saved BY reducing
the number Of times commodity has to be handled should
be saved because the public entitled to the most direct
and least expensive distribution service.
In Seattle it has been estimated that the retail price
can be reduced from to percent due the reduction
