HIGH COST OF LIVING vs. HIGHER FREIGHT RATES!
. - . ' ' I "' ' .
One Hundred Percent of the population of the United States are consumers.
You are materially interested; therefore, in learning how the4 cost of living will be
affected by the recent increases in freight rates, and statements with resfject
thereto should Jbe. accurate and not speculative. ; n
The following figures result from exact calculation. They show m convincing
fashion that which has actually occurred.'
New England is the largest shde manufacturing center in the world. Because
of the advanced freight rates the difference to the purchaser on one pair of shoes
shipped from Boston is", at v f , .

If the clothing is bought in Chicagothe increases are:'

the total freight rate increase is 27 cents.
If the purchaser lives in Marietta nd buys this bill of goods from Atlanta, the
, freight rate increase is 12 cents. If living in Stevenson and buying from Chatta
nooga, it is 13 cents, and if living at Whiteville and buying from Memphis the in
crease is 21 i cen

A Nashville housewife purchases in the market:
1 dozen Oranges .
, 6 Grape Fruit
, 10 pounds Tomatoes .
4 HeaBs Lettuce , - ,
V , 1 Watermellon
4 Heads Cabbage ,
i i
The oranges, grape fruit, tomatoes and lettuce come from Florida, the water
mellon from Georgia, the cabbage from South Carolina. On the day's marketing
.the increase, due 'to the change in freight rates, is 7 cents. , ' '
Shoes that formerly sold for $4.00 per pair now sell for at least $$.00, but thq
whole increase in freight rates from facrory to feet is not more ttfafi' 2 cents.
A suit of clothes, for which you formerly paid : $30.00, now costs $5Q.0(j) 'or
more. If you say the increase in freight charges from factory to wearer is 5 cents
per suit, it is an outside figure.
A shirt that sold for $1.00 now sells for about . $2.50. From maker to your
back the increase in freight rates on that shirt is not more than one-fifth of one
cent.. . " '
v You pay seventy-five cents for a chicken which, you used to buy for a quarter.
The freight rate increase between points in Tennessee is less than one-seventh of
one cent for each pound the chicken weighs. , .
Illustrations of similar character could be given without number.
' If the total rate increase, FREIGHT, PASSENGER, BAGGAGE, MAIL and
PULLMAN SURCHARGES, was evenly distributed among all the people in the
United States, it would APPARENTLY cost them 95 cents per month each.
In .1919 the average consumption of sugar in the United States per person
was eighty-six and three-quarters pounds. Sugar retailed in 1914 at five cents
per pound. Despite recent reductions, the average retail price is today twenty
cents. The monthly difference in cost of this one item is, per person, a triflle
greater than $1.08, and $1.08 is 13 cents more than the total increase per. month
per person due to ALL the recent increases in rates, both freight and passenger.
As a matter of fact, the rate advances will NOT'cost the people of the United
States ninety-five cents per person per month.
With increased revenues there will come increased and better facilities and
gradually a return to normal transportation. All well-informed merchants and
freight men know that with normal transportation living will be cheapened largely
more than the total increases exclusively due to advanced freight rates. Ulti
mately, advanced freight rates should cost the consumer nothing; they should
save him money. N -
Poor freight service is dear at any price and THE CONSUMER PAYS THE
BILL '
' The BEST FREIGHT SERVICE IS THE CHEAPEST FREIGHT SERVICE'
