SIXTY PER CENT ADVANCE IN

FIX PRICE OF CON-

Don't think it is all cream in the
retail grocery business" said the
proprietor of one of the large down
town groceries today. Take the
item of rent, for instance. In the
last two years our rent has been
increased 60 per cent, which is out
of proportion to the increase in the
selling price of the commodities we
handle? Much of the goods we sell,
such as canned stuff, package goods
and ready wrapped stuff of all
kinds, sell for a certain fixed price,
arranged by the large trutss, which
hardly allow the retailer a living
profit.

MORE CHUCK, LESS
PORTER HOUSE,
SAYS DEALER

One retail butcher ascribes the
complaint as to the high cost of
meat to the fact that too many peo-
pie want to eat porterhouse steaks
and sirloins that should be living on
chuck steak and boiling beef.
This is the view of b. Bohm
foreman of the Pacific market, on
Main avenue near Division. He
says further:
"A laboring man that gets S2.75
to SO per day cannot afford to eat
porterhouse steak at 20 to 20 cents
per pound. The people have gone
to extremes in the use of high
riced meats and only the best Will
satisfy them. If they want to live
like millionaires they must pay the
price.
Just because man sees porter
house and sirloin exposed on the
counter of the market for sale is
no reason why 1t is necessary for
him to have it. In most cases a
cheaper grade of meat will answer
the purpose II the consumer will
but look at the matter in the right
light"

IN THE PAST FORTNIGHT

There have been in Spokane dozen two dozen adver

tailor clothier offering his has reduced his $25
suits to about $1S his $50 suits to about $23 and his $50
suits to about $27 And each has printed his in
all the papers, and has quoted his reduced prices in big
bold faced type.
And funny thing about the sales is this If you had
taken the advertisement Of almost any Of them and
put different signature it, it would have served for
almost any other store
advertising of that sort is poor advertising Any

You hundred why you ought to buy of him, aside
