The expresscompany is a public utility, and thepeople are entitled to use it if they like. No decision was given by the boardat the time of the hearing; and HARD-WARE AND METAL learns from theC. M. A. that no judgment has yet beenreceived by them of the attitude of theboard in the matter. The attitude of the C. M. A. in thematter is that the only justification theexpress companies would have for charg-ing such a rate would be the percentageof breaka^res as being very high. Thiswas not shown by the companies in thecase which they presented to the CATALOGUES AND BOOKLETSFord Motor Repairing Albertson & Company, Sioux City,Iowa, have issued a book entitled TheA B C of Ford Motor Repairing.
