ivided into two classes, individual
purchases styled "Sent Parcels," and collective purchases made on
purchasing tickets. Checks for sent parcels when made out in
salesperson's check book in duplicate, with name and address slip and
hour of delivery, should be separated, one half going to the cash office
with the cash received, and the other half going with the goods.

Checks made out for purchases on purchasing tickets are usually
different in color from ordinary sales checks, and are attached to
purchasing tickets. As made out by salespersons in duplicate, one half
is detached with address and sent with the goods, and the other half
remains attached to the purchasing ticket until the purchase is
completed. Goods sold are immediately wrapped, carriers called and goods
are delivered through slides, elevators, etc., direct to the
shipping-room floors. Sent parcels are separated from others and
address label attached. Goods bought on purchasing ticket are placed in
compartments whose number corresponds with the number on checks received
with goods. As customers finish buying, they visit the pay office, where
cards are handed in, totalled, cash paid, instructions as to delivery
entered on the card, which is handed to the sorting section. Goods are
here checked with card, to see that they correspond by number and
amount, the address is carefully examined, when parcels are wrapped and
passed to the delivery section, where they are assorted as to routes,
entered on drivers' sheets by name, address, number of parcels, and
checked off when given to drivers. Salespeople are always kept informed
as to the regular hours of deliveries, and signal bells are usually rung
notifying each department before each delivery closes. No parcels should
be promised for that delivery after the bell rings, and all goods to be
sent by that delivery should be in the delivery room a few minutes
after the bell rings. All arrangements for special deliveries should be
made at the pay office, and all parcels should go by the delivery
marked, if received on time.

Delivering Goods.

Drivers should know their routes thoroughly, so as to deliver with as
much despatch as possible. When delivering, they should wear uniforms (a
portion of the expense of which is usually paid by the house). They
should be kept neat and clean, and when repairing is needed it should be
done promptly.

Drivers are usually held responsible for damages or breakages, res
