A person {familiar with the efforta of the [United States Government through the Department of Agriculture knows that It can, The Secretary of Agri- culture has devised the method, but the operation 1s far from perfect. Application to the Department of Agriculture or to the Post Office will ‘bring a pamphlet entitled “From Farm to Table,” giving the names and addresses of a few farmers who are prepared to supply consumers with food products and other products of the farm by parcel post. This method, properly enlarged and devel- oped, as only our Government is capa- ble of enlarging and developing it, will reduce the cost of Iving over dozen eggs, which are quoted at 40 cents per dozen, For these she pays with slips from her purchasing book, offering the slips to the post office clerk. “The clerk takes three tags from, say, box No, 22, writes on the back of! the tag the namo and address of the) purchaser, places the tags In an en- velope address it to Mr, John Smith, No, 22, and forwards it by rapid ma service.

The usual methods of the ma order house meet this requirement. Such a system, when in working order, will reduce the friction of ex- change to @ minimum, for while all this may seem unwieldly to the novice, to the expert it is simplicty itself, “This method is 4’ ct dealing In the true sense, It makes a single handling necessary and removes the number of profits as a consequence, It provides an economical form of dis- tribution and a legitimate means of maintaining competition.
