This committee will show | the merchants where they may cut the | delivery service and fewer daily de-| liveri where they can reduce the! cost of merchandise by uniting in the | purchase of carload lots, and how in! other ways they may do their share to jeut the high cost of living. The com- mittee is not yet complete, and its; personnel wilt, be announced later.— The Bismarck Tribune, Sept. 19, 1917. | “Merchants to Have Lessons in Economies’’ Yesterday’s Tribune bore the above heading and then went on-to say that “A.

The delivery system costing the people more than. rents and is the greatest single item in ex- pense in the “high cost of living” and should be reduced. i But some one else be- tides the merchants needs waking p on this fearfully extravagant loss—and much of it is absolutely unnecessary, The buyer is the one way to teach next after the dealer. Some merchants claim two-thirds of their over- head expense is'due to-de- livery and fortunate, -in- deed, is: the store that can reduce it to one-third of the overhead expense, We are-ready for ‘‘les- sons’? as we have been having lessons for years on this subjec The committee .advocat- as buying in ear load lots.
