GENERAL DELIVERY August Schlickman at Head of Movement Among Grocers For THE ESTABLISHMENT Os General System—Would Operate Four General DeLivery Wagons. August Schlickman of the Schlickman feed yard, is a the head of a movement among the nine grocers of the city for the establishment of a general delivery system. Mr. Schlickman would take upon his establishment the responsibility of delivery for all the firms. His idea is to operate four wagons ana to make two deliveries in the morning and ’wo in the afternoon. He would furnish all the wagons, horses, etc., and this would result in the firms doing away with their individual wagons and horses, this being a great saving, not only in the keeping in repair of the wagons, feeding or the horses, etc., but also doing away with the extra help required in delivery. Mr. Schlickman is meeting with much encouragement in the movement and it it quite probable the idea will be taken up. The firms whom he hopes to interest in this include the Boston Store. Niblick & Co., F*iillenkamp< Mills. True & Runyon, S. E. Hite, Hower & Hower, Everett & Hite and Yoder & Brush wilier. o FOUND —A brooch set with brilliants.
