The, purpose of “Perfect Package

aid shippers in (heir package prob
lems, and to help improve the trans
portation service of the country.
During November, the railroads,
iteamship lines and the express com
panies will examine the condition of
all freight and express shipments and
record the faults of shipments, which
do not come up to the general classi
fication of “Perfect Packages,”
Special report flanks for freight
and express will be made out for ev
ery shipment that is found wanting in
onte detail of good shipping, and
hese reports will Jbo sent to the
shippers of the packages^
At the conclusion of the'movement,
the record of each city during “Per
fect Package Month’’ will be tabnlat-
d and published' .broadcast. The
leading city will be exploited, because
of iu perfection in shipping methods.
Considerable rivalry has .been
arounsed among traffic organisations
which have determined to make their
cities the leader of “Perfect Pack-
