Free-Delivery
We are publishing an article this week, communicated to the News, referring to a matter of much moment to our people. It relates to the matter of delivery of goods, and at the risk of incurring the displeasure of dealers we commend it to their attention.
At a period when everybody is urged to save it appears that the present system is a waste—a waste that is avoidable. Of course, it is convenient to have everything delivered, from a package of pins to a sack of potatoes, but it is well to remember that we should be willing to submit to some inconveniences, especially when it means a saving to the consumer and absolutely no loss to the dealer. People will purchase goods just the same, for they must have them, even though the delivery system is changed or discontinued.
