What Brown could do in 1926
The company acquired its first delivery car, a Model T Ford, in 1913. In 1926, the company introduced a new van for parcel delivery that bears a striking resemblance to thepresent fleet of delivery vehicles. In 1922, the United Parcel Service acquired a company in Los Angeles with an innovative practice at the time known as “common carrier” service, making it one of the few companies at the time to offer such a service. The service incorporated many of the features and operating principles of the company’s retail store delivery service with features not then offered by many other private carriers, or even the parcel post. According to the company’s official website, this common carrier service included automatic daily pickup calls, acceptance of checks made out to the shipper in payment of C.O.D.s, additional delivery attempts, automatic return of undeliverables, and streamlined documentation with weekly billing. “Perhaps the most key feature was that UPS was able to provide its extensive service at rates comparable to those of parcel post,” the website says. In March, 1926, CCJ captured a photo of the latest UPS truck put in service in Los Angeles for its common carrier service. The van was built by the Crown Motor Carriage Co. of Los Angeles.
The United Parcel Service has always been known for innovations in package handling, including its delivery equipment.

Not Good
The truck loaded with packages sheered off an ornamental light pole and plowed through a row of flower pots. It went into the plate-glass window of the museum’s lobby about 8:30 p.m. The window, which is punctured at its base, is a spider web of cracks.
WASHINGTON – A UPS truck jumped a curb and broke through a concrete barrier, crashing into the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden on the National Mall Monday night.
Cooling Off
A UPS truck traveling eastbound on NE 96th Street in the Village of Miami Shores struck a tree and continued breaking through a pedestrian barrier, ultimately coming to rest in the bay. The UPS driver made it to shore and was not transported to the hospital.

For Those Who Want LESS Regulation
A two-income American family with an average income that dutifully invests in a 401(k) plan using typical strategies will lose $155,000 – or about 30 percent of what they should have saved for retirement — to Wall Street fees, according to a study by an economic justice advocacy organization.
The Demos study, released last month, is just the latest in a long string of research showing 401(k) plans are a better deal for Wall Street than for you. Many show that people lose about one-third of their retirement money to fees that they don’t even know they’re paying. The actual lifetime impact of fees is a matter of widespread debate, but it shouldn’t be. In one dramatic example, John Bogle, the inventor of index funds, demonstrated how fees can consume 80 percent of an investor’s money through something he’d dubbed “the tyranny of compounding fees.” (Click on the link to see his proof.)
