The Economics of Retailing FeTnnm^T’p 11 ! ?,■ Ny ,® trom at ates in his book “The Economics of Retailing,” that "When one adds up all expense properly chargeable and incident to dealing with a mail-order concern, it is open to question’ whether the mail order method of distribution is more economical than the older jobber-retail-to-con- sumer method.” RAILROADS must spend MONEY TO SAVE MONEY SHOP COAL For best grade washed and sized Shop Coal at reas onable price, come to Maple Street Warehouse Railroads must spend money to save money, sflys President W. A. Winbnrn, rf the Central of Georgia Railway, in a statement quoting interesting figures which show how the public welfare is served by well-planned expenditures for improvements and extensions to railway facilities. Mr. Winbnrn argues that railway earnings should be sot and kept at a rate sufficient to encourage invest ment in railway securities, since the investing public is the only source from which transportation Companion can obtain money for enlargements and improvements. The freight business of the Central of (tqnrgia was fit' per cent greater in 1022 than in 1900, but this increased business was handled with a decrease in | the number of freight train mites. It the average freight train load had boon in 1922 wlint it was in 1910, the direct costs of freight train operation (in cluding wages, fuel, lubricants and oth er supplies) would have been $1,72(1,- 047.52 greater in 1922 than they actu ally were. To bring about Ibis result the Central of Georgia lias expended in tlio last twelve years $15,715,324 for new locomotives of greater power, so that greater tounngo could be handled in a train, and for enlargement of ter minal facilities and the building of new track. The growth and development of the country demands the continued expan sion of transportation facilities. Rail roads must continue to invest heavily ir such improvements as will reduce costs of operation so flint they may ren der efficient service at the lowest pos sible rates. Freedom from threats of premature rate reductions, and nbsence of hampering legislation, Mr. Winbnrn Bays, is the foundation for any reason able hope for lower railway rates.
