Comparisons
You have all heard a
great deal about high
prices on dry goods,
shoes, clothing, etc., but
few really know how ser-
ious the price situation
really is. Below we give
you a few comparisons on
wholesale prices—a year
ago and now. A year ago
we bought Gold Bond do-
mestic at 5 7-8c per yard.
The wholesale price today
is 11 l-2c per yard.
Daniel Green’s boudoir
slippers a year ago cost
90c—today they cost $1.75.
Blue Bell cheviots a
year ago cost 7 l-2c, now
they cost 13 l-2c.
Calicoes a year ago
were 4 1-2c—now
cost 8 l-2c to 9 1-2
Carletcn work shirts a
year were $4 50 per
dozen—now they cost
$7.50 per dozen.
When v.e arc forced to
pay presort market prices
or more if market ad-
vances further, we will be
obliged to advance pres-
ent retail prices materi-
ally. We strongly urge
our friends and customers
to protect themselves as
far as possible during this
sale against higher prices
that are sure to prevail.
