There Is a Very Geed Reason
Fer the Fact That Prices Are Still High
It Gees All the Way Back te the Raw Material Frent Which
Finished Products Are Made and the Expense
of Buying Them
fTIIIKY met In the market as they both
prodded and pried among the heads
of lettuce te find one te their liking.
"Isn't It awful about these prices?"
exclaimed one.
"It certainly Is." agreed the oilier,
settling herself for n geed chat, "They
keen snvinir Hint nrlces are point? down
nil the time, but I can't cee It, eon
1 JOII?"
"Well, some things seem tn be n lit tie
I cheaper. I pet a dress the ether day
1 that wasn't se bad but what I went
'te see Is a general reduction of every
thing, and I don't see why It doesn't
come."
They are probably still discussing It,
I If net with each ether, with two ether
I people.
PRICKS went up with such a whizzing
bang when they started that It
seems only natural for them te come
I down the same way.
I lint they won't because they can't.
, The reason gees all the way back te
I the manufacturer nml his raw material.
I He get It when he get his labor,
nt a time when ever thing was high
and scarce.
1 Natural he had te charge n high
price te the whelesa'e dealer who
lmiichl hi finished nreduetn. If fie
1 wanted te make an thing at nil.
He did want te mnke something nt
all he wouldn't be normal If he didn't.
The wholesale dealer is u human be
ing, tee, and when he held bis wares
te the retailer he had te boost his
cbnrpes in proportion te xvhat he had
paid for them himself.
And the retailer, being of the same
make as the ether two. hnd te put en
the prices that we all balked nt, fret
ted ever nnd nt Inst tried te pay, dur
ing and just after the war.
"TOVV, things are gradually
going
down again.
