There was a qijick response of the people to the notice that the cash spent in the store the first three weeks had replenished our stocks and that' large quantities of our kinds of goods had been obtained at lower prices, thereby accelerating this disposal and the inauguration of a reduction of the H. C. orL. " " . ' People have found out the facts and are telling their neighbors. , There is good evidence that in several directions the time has come to fix anew scale of prices. We mean to stand up for it firmly and faithfully, as is our duty to our valued customers. What honest man dares to stand up to prophesy and plead for further advances of many classes of merchandise, simply because of personal and selfish reasons? The makers of all varieties of articles can well afford to yield now to the demand of the users of their wares who have paid double and treble prices for the past four years.
