The delivery costs per gallon do not vary in accord- ance with the size of the business; the reasons are indicated in Table XVI and figure 9. Figure 11 shows graphically the differences in per gallon in- vestments by dealers, grouped according to number of gallons handled daily. The ex- tremely disproportion- ate investments for both handling and de- livering are explained in the discussion fol- lowing Tables XIII and XVI. The general tendency, however, was for the handling in- vestment to increase with the size of the plant to the point of a plant handling as high as 2,001 to 3,000 gal- lons. The group han- dling 1,501 to 2,000 gal- lons has a dispropor- tionately low invest- ment because in that group the dealers had equipped some old wooden buildings for temporary use until thoroughly modern plants could be con- structed and satisfac- torily equipped. Plants handling less than 150 gallons present another exception to the gen- eral tendency which in part can be explained by the fact that they were not operated at full capacity. The figures would also indicate that unless a dealer can handle at least 150 gallons his plant invest- ment charge will be high. It will be noted that in general the larger dealers had greater investments in delivery equipment than the smaller ones. That is in part explained by the fact that many of.
