The Talking Machine World, New York, Septetnber 15, 1920 How about future deliveries, Mr. Merchant? "The statement of C. M. Reed of the Kansas Court of Industrial Relations that at the present rate of activity twenty-eight months will be required to move the 1920 grain crop and what is left of the 19 19 crop, gives a vivid idea of the difficulties of the present transportation roblem. ■ Chicago Tribune Editorial, Aug. 16, 1920 "Senator Capper, of Kansas, says 480 cars a day for two months would not get the old crop of wheat in Kansas out of the way of the new crop, but on the day reported, fifty elevators could get only seven cars. — New York Times, quoted in Literary Digest, July 24, 1920. An estimate recently made states that 66/^ per cent of all cars are now under load, and that half of the remaining are in need of repairs, leaving approximately ly per cent available, with an actual shortage of 2 CO 000 cars. Without wishing to seem unduly pessimistic, we urge you for your own sake to heed these significant signs of the times. We are doing all we can on our part to speed production and distribution. But eventually a dead line will be reached, beyond which we cannot promise delivery in time to meet the big demand of the winter buying season. No man can forecast just when this will be. The only safe course is to order now and be on the right side of the fence in any event. The situation becomes more acute every day, as the effort to move the crops increases, taking more and more cars. Anticipation today, is good merchandising.
