The middleman will be the truckpiwner before very long and we will fad benefit. ‘As“an experiment along this line, the Post Office Department, last year, planned forty and operated trucks over them in order to help the consumer to buy direct from fthe producer. It is said thai the experi- ment proved three things—-increased profit to the producer, . decreased prices for the consumer, and that the line itself might make 2 profit. On a specimen line, betwes:n McConnells- burg, Pa., and Phiindelphia, the farmers increased th2ir price on eggs from 28 cents to 49 cents a dozen, and yet the consumer in Philadelphia paid fifteen cents a dozen less for his eggs than the grocers were Other farm produce had the history. There Connecticut Wwe might routes same are many farms about that bear products that use in New Britain, for instance, if a line shoulds be -estab- lished out of here, It is common knowledge that the Yarmer upstate is getting a very small amount for dozen eggs and is only finding his through a grocer in the nearest town ‘who gives him credit in trade for the eggs. to sell his eggs for forty cents a dozen and_wouid probably be anxioi:s to enter into a contract to deliver all of his supply to a market truck which called upon him, market say twice a week. It would not take long for the buyer to dispose of goods New [Britain at fifty cents for'the dozen, giving him a profit of twenty per cent. on the eggs, and, if enough were handled, a mighty, good return beyond his truck expense. The readiness of the market would stimulate produc- tion in the farming districts within a very short time. We believe thar, for one who takes the trouble to go into the country and- build up a route and who lets it be known where and when he is going to sell his' goods in town, there is an opportunity for the. building up of a good business. He would have to go back into the coun- try for quite a distance in order to get the stuff, but it would be bought just as surely as the supplies of the packers are bought now. As far as the United States is con- cerned, the sum of $300,000 has been appropriated for a continuation of the experiment. Congress was asked for elght million dollars for the purpose, but did not see fit to grant” that amount. Fourth As- sistant Postmaster-General!
