Chicago Grocery Concern Sends Solicitor Into Local FieId--LOSe Fifty Cents on Sugar But Make Dollar on Vanilla Extract" The Table of Prices Below Show Chicago and Clifton Prices on Same Article.

From a careful comparison of prices, quality of goods received and the freight paid on local shipment of gro ceries which have recently been pur- chased in Chicago by residents of the district it is easily demonstrated that the local resident has been ''stung" in more than one instance and that the same amount of money could be made to go further at home.
 For several months past solicitor for Chicago grocery house has been receiving orders for groceries in Cliff ton and MorencI. No doubt he was a plausible talker and succeeded in se- curing orders for groceries in this dis trict amounting to several thousand dollars. This week two of the lead ing dealers in groceries in Clifton pre- pared the following statement of d careful and accurate investigation, which has been made and submit the same through the columns of the ERA for the information and guidance of the general public. The statement is as follows:
 "We herewith submit comparative prices between the Chicago house that has been soliciting business in Clifton during the months of January
