all of the executive departments and
establishments in Washington buy
from the contractors listed in the
general schedule of supplies of the
general supply committee special at
tention was directed to a study Of the
results obtained through this method
of purchase. Many cases were found
in which the departments have been
able to buy articles in the open mar

schedule. and many other cases in
which purchasing offices in Wash

the schedule for their field services
have been able to get far lower
prices by bulk purchases than those
obtained under the running con-
tracts of the general supply COM

Example Is Given.
To point to a striking example of
possible economy through consoli-
dated purchase, an experiment was
carried through successfully by the
Office of the chief co-ordinator in out
right purchase of definite quantities
of common article-tires and tubes.
This was done not only to accomplish

period and with only a relatively
small part of the field service par
