SHIPPING RATES. 

 LESS-THAN-CARLOAD SinPMENTS IN CARLOAD LOTS. 



A noteworthy saving for receivers of Boston fish in New York 

 and Philadelphia has recently been effected by L. H. Young, for- 

 warder of Boston, in the initiation of a system of transfer by which 

 consignors in these cities save one-half the difference between the 

 cost of less-than-carload shipments and carload shipments on less- 

 than-carload quantities. Consignments from Boston to New York 

 and Philadelphia are collected from practically all local dealers 

 and combined for shipment in carload lots. Upon arriving at des- 

 tination the car lots are distributed to various purchasers by a 

 representative of the Boston forwarder. Railroad records show 

 that carload consignments of Boston fish to these cities have more 

 than doubled since the establishment of this system in April, 1922. 

 The possibility of effecting like economies on shipments to other 

 large consuming centers is therefore worthy of consideration.

 food shipments from Boston to 10 representative cities is shown
