ONE 1000 BOMBER RAID
CAN BE CARRIED OUT ON PETROL SAVED BY BRITAIN'S BISCUIT MAKERS Enough petrol lo earrj' out. a 1000 bomber raid on Germany has been saved by economies in delivering biscuits to shops throughout Great Britain. The country's 210 biscuit ma'kers have handed all their motor vans:, with stall's, over to the Biscuit' Delivery Pool, a non-protttmaking enterprise which lias delivered one million tins of biscuits since the beginning of: the year. TJie Pool takes the biscuits from the factories to the wholesalers, and the retailers, collecting from the latter all their empty tins which are very carefully stored. Members of the Pool are charged for the service and credited for the hire of their own vans and stall'. By avoiding overlapping journeys and by making .full use of the space available, several million ton-miles of haulage have been saved in a
month or two —an enormous economy not only in petrol and tyres, but in engine wear and manpower.
