A grocer in Fond du Lac, Wis.,
has introduced an interesting sys
tem. He calls it the “cash and carry
system.”
If his customers pay cash for their
goods he throws otf 5 per cent. If
they carry their purchases hnme -he
throws oil another 5 per cent. If
the family’s grocery bill is $25 a
month that means a saving of $2.50
—which would make a tidy addition
to the savings bank balance.
The plan, it. is reported, takes well
with this grocer’s customers. More
over, he is tickled with it himself. It
saved him the expense of putting on
more delivery wagons, which he
would have had to do if ho hadn’t
adopted the system. It has increased
his trade. It has given him tho
benefit of cash in the till Instead of
credit on the books. It seems to be
beneficial all around.
It isn’t exactly new, of course.
There are shops that do something
like the same thing; that is, by sell
ing for cash only and doing no de
livering, they can and do sell goods
cheaper, and many take advantage
of the opportunity to be thrifty.
The cost of living is vastly higher
than it used to be before the days of
credit and telephone ordering, when
mother used to put a basket on her
arm and go shopping. And one of
the reasons why the cost of living is
higher is that credit and delivery
both cost money which, of course, the
consumers have to pay.—Duluth
Herald.
Bethlehem’s Bid on Shells
for the United States Navy
To the American People:
The Secretary of the Navy baa awarded
contracts nmnunting hi over^*3.000,000
to a British bidder for 14 and 16-inch
projectiles for the Navy bccuuae of very
much lower prices ottered by the b'nglish
bidders.
We know nothing of the bHsia upon whiuh
the British bids were made, hut the pub
lic in entitled to know the facts upon
which we ourselves bid for this work.
Two years ago we took contracts
to make 4,200 14-lncli shells at a
price of $1,515,000. Up to now
not a single shell has been ac
cepted by the Government, al
though we have expended, in
wages, materials, etc., on these
orders $522,881, and we have not
received a SINGLE DOLLAR on
ftheao contracts.
la addition, ■ Hjaral Interpretation of
Lb* contract might make u.t liable for
penalUee amouutins lo $678,016.
In the light of our experience, and hav
ing no other basis, we bid for 16-inch
shells approximately the same rate per
pound as that which the Navy Depart
ment actually awarded a 14-mch shell
contract one year ago.
