REASON FOR HIGH PRICES

Used TO Them and Expect to Pay More
II find that people now days are
satisfied to pay more for their stuff
than few years ago, in fact they
rather seek the high priced goods
SAID ID. NJ. Ross to reporter one day
during the week
Take the matter Of eggs as an ex-
ample. A few years ago whe eggs
reached the same prizes that they are
selling at today, many of our custo-
mers refused to buy them. They
simply got along without them and
when the price came down where
they thought that they could afford to
use eggs they commenced again. This
year | find those same people buying
eggs and PAYING the extra high price
without any mnrmer, have studied
the matter somewhat and have come
20 the conclusion that the public has
been educated to higher prices and
expects TO pay them.
"Wnat is true of eggs is true OF
every other line OF goods we handle
People expect to pay higher prices
and pay them willingly don't know
how much Of the high prices is dat

of ii is but / do know that the de
mand is much different now days
from what il was and that fact nm.
doubtedly adds TO the conditions
When people continue to use eggs al
high prices just AS they do at low
prices the demand is great and the
lessened supply necessarily shoves nj
the price.
