Orders Five Tons of
Barley by Mail; Gels
$160 for Hauling It
Phoenix, Ariz, July SO. Five tons of
barley, en route from Mesa to Snow
flake. Navajo county, by parcel post.
passed through Phoenix. It was the
largest single parcel post shipment ever
made In Arizona.
The Mesa Milling cdbipany was the
consignor and EL R. DeWltt, of Snow
flake, the consignee. The barley was
packed in 56. pound sacks.
When DeWltt ordered the barley the
company found that the freight rate
to Holbrook. the railroad station near
est to Snowflake, was $1 a hundred.
But Snowflake is 30 miles from Hol
brook and the government would trans
port the barley in Sfl-pound parcels, for
si 08 a hundred. So the grain went by
mail.
Another peculiar feature of the situa
tion, however. Is that DeWltt has the
mall carrying contract between Hol
brook and Snowflake. He is paid J 1-60 a
hundred for hauling parcel post mat
ter Therefore he will receive $160 for
hauling his own barley home.
