THE MAIL ORDER OCTOPUS, i Hints and echoes of the vast ness of the mail order business of the country are frequently heard, but definite figures are always lacking. For the first time in some years figures have been disclosed concerning the mailings of the largest Chicago mail order house. This concern, which is by no means the only mail order concern in Chicago, began to mail its spring catalogs on Marell 15, and that mail was as much greater than the mailing of any ordinary concern as a skyscraper is bigger than a log hut. Six million catalogs weighing two ounces each were shipped. The total weight was 450 tons. It required mail sacks alone to the extent of sixty-five tons to hold them. If they had been forward ed in one lot, thirty lull length ears would have been required. However, four-fifths of the sacks required no handling except to put them off the train at their proper place. This mailing broke not only all Chicago postoffice . records, and they are something to break, but broke also most oth er post office records in the eoun . try, it is claimed. Recently the same firm mailed in one lot 3,- 8(MI,000 catalogs, or 265 tons. This mailing is that oi one . Chicago mail order house. It i does not include the enormous 1 mailings of the other mail order concerns, which in the aggregate 1 are much greater than those of the largest concern's figures. A e ! prominent advertising man recent ilv estimated from pretty accurate ‘knowledge that each year sllO. ; 000,000 worth of merchandise was - ■ bought from Chicago concerns by g I mail. On a very conservative e -jtimate of the number of people I. who buy this merchandise the fig lures reach 2.200.000 families. The amount of business done iby mail order houses can be giiaged by the fact that the great j est of mail order houses alone docs about $6,000,000 worth of , r business per month.
