the suit against the county IN the lower
court is affirmed.
Fix Implement Prices.
The bottom price which implements will
| De sold at for 1906 was fixed this afternoon
by the South Platte Implement Dealers
| association in executive session.
1t was stated by a veteran implement
| dealer and charter member that. with the
exception OF wagons. which may rule s.
| or 50 higher. machines and implements Of
all kinds will BE- sold at practically the
same figure as named for 1896 al the annual
session last year.
Cultvators and harrows have been ad-
vanced about 10 per cent.
Retailers may use their discretion about
charging a higher price than the minimum.
the association does not attempt TO dictate
here" said the dealer. Retailers are not
| interested in fixing a price on harvesters.
| The International tells them what they
shall be sold at and the fellow who drops
below the dead line will get into trouble
| afterward"
Several dealers thought that il was little
| use for the association to name uniform
prices. when about 50 per cent OF the men
J engaged in the sale of implements were
not members of the organization and were
willing TO clip off profits to make a sale re-
CARELESS of the agreement of others.
The price of binding Irvine has always
| been a thorn in the skin of the organized
| dealers. Grocers and blacksmiths sell
| Irvine, and often sell II far below what the
| implement dealer thinks is profitable.
| There was some talk this morning of en-
| listing the aid of the manufacturers of
| binding Irvine to have them agree not to
| sell Irvine to dealers who dispose of it at
cost or at a loss. to stimulate trade in
| other branches
