THE RE-ADJUSTMENT
OF PRICES STARTED
SEEMINGLY EVERYTHING HAS
REACHED THE HIGH WATER
MARK AND PRICES ARE
BEGINNING TO COME
DOWN
While Henry Ford’s “peace ship”
accomplished nothing, Henry sure
started something about.« week ago
flivvers 31 per cent. establishing pre-
war prices. Many looked at this
move as a joke but we will see if
such is the case.
The Franklin Auto Co. has reduced
its selling prices 21 per cent. and is
advertising the new prices exten-
sively. The Crow-Elkhart Co. has
also gone back to old prices. There
are a number of other auto concerns
that are now in the midst of price
slashing campaigns.
Federal Fair price commissioner
Frank B. McClain, of Lancaster, has
just returned and reports a wonder-
ful and sudden reduction on cotton
and silk products, in some cases
running as high as 50 per cent.
The Cleveland Worsted Mills Co.
at Cleveland, Ohio, has announced a
reduction in price of from 15 to 30
per cent. effiective immediately but
claim that the reduced prices will
not benefit the consumer much before
Spring, at which time the goods being
manufactured at present, will be
placed on the market.
Textile manufacturers at Utita, N.
Y. announced a reduction in prices
of cotton sheetings and yarns of 30
to 40 per cent. The manufacturers,
who operate some of the largest
plants in the country, said prices
were cut to meet the reduction of
New England manufacturers. The
Shenandoah, Mohawk Valley and
Utica Steam Mills are running but
four days a week. George Brown's
Sons Mills here are also only running
four days a week.
Lumber prices thruout the entire
west have fallen 20 per cent.
The minimum wage paid by the
Goodyear Rubber Co. was 70 cents
an hour. This has been reduced to
35 cents an hour.
Many of the largest auto tire
dealers at Lancaster are advertising
all makes of tires at 20 to 25 per
cent. off list price.
