In mo-t of the places where this method of "car peddling" Is practiced the pro ducers take out n license from the authorities which gtes thorn tempo rary selling prh lieges, such licenses costing from $10 to $25 nplcco. This system of self-service salesmanship Is j ippucnnie only in regions where tho growers hnve no co-operative associa tion. It would be extremely unwlt; for the Indhldunl producer to go cti the road In active competition with an extensive selling organization. Cut In Profits. The growers nlso must benr In mind the fnct, although the returns from this method of relllng nt first may ap pear large, they will be cut down to n great extent by his expenses, the time consumed, nnd the consequent neglect of his regular business. This practice may result also in lowering wholesale prices, Inasmuch as tho grower may be anxious to get nwny and may sell nt figures which the regular denlers would not accept.

Reaching Markets by Trucks. Direct delivery by wagon or motor truck Is practicable only where tho farmer lles within a 25-mllo radius of tho consuming center. Hence this method of marketing nlTords nn outlet only for the commodities produced In the area Immediately surrounding thu mdrket. Such tlelheries nro limited. In the main, to country towns ami smnller cities. The automobile truck undoubtedly is enlarging tills service, but It probably will bo limited to n very small portion of the totnl produc ing nrea of the country nnd can not be expected to form nn outlet for tho great bulk of farm crops. Again, thu development of cities, with their con stnnt encroachments upon outlying country districts, forces production nrens farther from the market centers and In the larger cities makes It practically Impossible for growers to deliver their produce direct to con: sinners. The best examples of suc cessful direct deliveries by growers to consumers arc found In thu sulb of fresh fruits nnd vegetables In small country towns nnd deliveries from neighboring farms through residential hectlons of most of tho larger cities. r8 EARLY AUTO DAYS ; In 1S0S gasoline sold for six ; cents n gallon. ; The first New York motorcar I show was held In 1000. ; The first four-cylinder car was I brought out in 1000.
