Big REDUCTION
IN FOOD PRICES
Continued from Page One.

read from the manufacturers, in which
prices will be quoted. The matter will
then be laid before the members and
they will say what goods shall be ordered.
BY a cash method and the ordering of a
large quantity it is claimed the supplies
are obtained at much lower price than
is usually given wholesale dealers, and
the consumers get the benefit.
A representative of big Western -four
milling company, who was in the city
yesterday, said it was the greatest move
ever started in this country, and that It
was probable similar organizations would
be started in other cities. Y
Provisions have not yet been made for
the 1000 small Washington dealers, but it
is expected some means will be devised
whereby they will become a party to the
league. Most of the small stores do not
handle enough goods to warrant them in
getting four or five barrels of flour at a
time, but it is thought that in many cases
four or five of them can combine and
each take a barrel of flour. At the pres
ent time there is no discrimination
against the small dealer, but he has not
felt that he was warranted in buying a
large quantity Of goods which would take
months to sell.
