C<, WEDNESDAY \FTEHNOON MAY 5. 1SIB SUGGESTS W 1 FARMERS TO D0JM& PedmattUr Moore ,TeUe of Ad vantages in Parcel Poet Sortie*. DEAL ' DIBECT WITH CUSTOMERS Farmer* Who Have Already Tried System Are Highly in Favor' of it, Several excellent suggestions regarding the value of the parcel post service to t?e farmers in the rural communities of this section were made this morning by Poet master Moore. He outlined a plan by which the^armer could deal direct with the consumer audi ? niake the transaction with mutual profit "We are trying to show the far mers the many uses of the parcel post system," said Mr. Moore, rfnd I believe that we can show vhem how to send their eggs, chickens, vegetables, etc., to their 2eustomers in the sity without having to hitch up hope and Wag on and spending halt the daj^ in town to make their sales. "One or two of the farmers are afre&dv using the system in send ing their merchandise here and they heartily endorse the plan. Their customers inform them what they desire to purchase and the next mail brings the goods to their homes. The farmer get-* th^ regular market price for his eggs or chickens and the amount he pays for postage is far lesn than what he would have to pay in dis posing of his goods, to the mej< chants. Then too, he doesn't have to leave his work and drive tn'tovm in order to make the sale. The crates in which he ships hir stuff is returned by the customer. "I know of several farmers who make mpnlar shipments of ?ggs attd the like to Washington and thev are gradually increasing their business. I am oei^ain that a? soon as mov? of tfcom ftud out I the simplicity of the system*- a large number will be dealing di rect |with their customers here end wifi thus establish a good pay ing business."
