The freight rate to New York a few years ago was .$ per hundred pounds and to Chicago .$ Through our efforts we obtained a reduction to $ to practically all Eastern points. We ob- tained a consolidation rate which has proved of great benefit to the industry in the assembling of cars. We have obtained from the express companies a one-stop-in-transit privilege for the purpose of loading and a one-stop-in- transit privilege for the purpose of sell- ing.
