Express Rates
Will be Reduced
The Southern Express Company
of which Mr. W. P. Clark is manager
her, has put lnttf operation q
the rates recently prescribed by the
interstate Commerce Commission,
which will result in a very material
reduction -in many cases being as
much as fifty per cent. The rates
are- divided into three classes.- first^ ^ . -yJj
second and third.
First class rates apply to merchandise;
second clasa rates apply
on all article of food or drink.
This rate Is seventy-five per cent
of the first , class rate; the third
class rate applies on books calendars,
etc.
The basis of the new rates is the
Zone and Block System. The
country is flret ^divided info five
zones: Zone 1, taking in the Eastern
8tates; Zone 2 the Southern
States, Zone 3. the Middle Western
States; Zone 4, the Rocky Mountain
States; and Zone 5. the Pacipc
Coast States. These zones are then
reduced to Blocks, each Block being
fifty miles square.
In this manner, all inconsistencies
that may have existed In the ? v
past In rate constructions, have been
wiped out, and the rates not only
simplified and made understandable
even to the novice, but every section
or hamlet In the land is put on an . |
equal footing. In other words,
there are no Inequalities In the new
rates. t
Another matter of Interest and
importance to the shipper. Is - the
fact that the new rates apply to and ?
'rom all points Jn the United States J
legardlefiH of what particular Express
Company handles the shipment.
So far as the publio is con- -|j
cerned, all lines of demarkation as
between the various Express Companies
have been wholly oblltergted
they are now one homogenous
whole.
