What reading level is Freight Rates And Manufactures in Colorado a Chapter in Economic History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Taussig, a manufacturer of packing-boxes, stated that the freight rate on such boxes complete in the knock-down shape from the Missouri River to Colorado points was the same as the rate on the rough lumber of which such boxes were made. There was also consid- erable waste in the manufacture of these boxes. Mr. Taussig stated that this rate was special to certain dealers in the city. Some makers of crackers and soap were getting their boxes from the East in 1885. The rate had not recently been l...owered, but the classification of packing- boxes had been changed. He could not sell to the soap factory in Pueblo as the rate from Kansas City to Pueblo was the same as the rate from Kansas City to Denver. The rate on lumber from the mountains of Colorado about 75 miles distant was $1. 65 a hundred weight, while the rate on lumber from Kansas City, 600 miles, was fifty cents. ^ A broom factory was started in Denver in 1880. The market was mostly local owing to the unfavorable freight rates from the East as compared with the rates from the Denver manufactory.
