TIE chief cause" Of the high pric

THE chief cause of the high price OF
many articles sold Today is the enormous
expense Of selling the goods. Agents
commissions and expenses are so high
that the consumer has to pay twice as
much as the articles are worth in order
to afford a livelihood to host of middle
men operating between producer and con-
sumner. Take type-writing machines for
example. A good machine sells for one
hundred dollars. Could this be bought
directly from the manufacturer fully one
half that amount could be saved. To
sell set of Appleton's Encyclopedia
costs about one hundred dollars and the
purchaser pays nearly two hundred dol
lars while If the agent could be dispensed
with the books could be procured for at
least half that sum. 1t is so with farm
machinery and hundreds of other articles
sold by the commercial traveller. so i'm
portant and expensive factor in these
days. 1t would seem that in these en-
hghtened times people might deal direct
ly with the producer and save this enor-
nous expense. 1t is certain that MANY
people know their wants. know when to
purchase al article, and they ought not
to be obliged to pay an agent large COM
mission. But there are many people also
who do not know their wants and wait
for the commercial man To induce them to
buy what they do not really need. It's this
large class together with the Impotence
OF the manufacturer that causes the birb
prices paid by all people who purchase
articles from agents instead of directly
from the producer of the same.
