RECEIVING
!IIROOM IS PROPOSED
Plan in Office and Apartment
Buildings Urged to Save
|. Time on Deliveries.

A receiving room on the first floor
of all large Office and apartment
buildings for the distribution of
packages and the prevention of con-
gestion ir merchandise delivery is
suggested in a letter sent to the
Washington Real Estate Board by the
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation. 1t is pointed out that a great
saving economically through the les
sening of trips in the buildings and
decrease in elevator operation would
result if the plan is adopted.
The letter. addressed to John S.
Petty, executive secretary OF the
Washington Real Estate Board, reads
as follows:
The downtown and neighborhood
business sections and the great apart
ments and Office buildings demand a
speeding up of all human facilities.
D>Iivery Real Problem.
Merchandise delivery is one of the
great problems not only of the retail
er but the wholesaler as well. These
two great departments of activity In
Washington find the problem growing
daily with gratifying increase in the
number of big office buildings and
apartments. These large congrega
tions in small area automatically
bring many more porterS and their
teams, 1t is the concern of all of us
that there should be the greatest
possible cohesion.
The more delay or loss of time in
deliveries the greater the cost which
is, of course. reflected in the cost of
the goods. II has been suggested by
President Andrews that the owners
and operators of large buildings can
perform distinct service to their
tenants and help nightly in the gen.
eral economic welfare by having a re-
ceiving room on the first floor of
their buildings with an attendant in
charge to receive and disburse all
packages or goods. There are some
