HOUSEWIFE TO BLAME
FOR HlGHCOST OF LIVING

That the housewife is largely to
blame for the high cost OF living is
the belief OF Mr.. X. f. Craig, of Wood
son Craig Co, which firm Is the
largest buyer and shipper of eggs in
this section.
Mr.. Craig says the average woman
will have deliveries Of groceries made
to her home five or six times in one
day; and that the big expense of main
tanning an adequate delivery service
forces the grocer to charge more for
his goods than he would if only one
delivery were necessary to each soc
ton in which he does business.
Another OF the causes of increased
prices Is the credit system. according
to Mr.. Craig, which adds from five to
eight per cent to the expenses OF u gro
Gerry store.
Deliveries cost the retailer an
average OF ten to fifteen per cent; col
lecuons and losses on credit customers
from Ave to eight per cent; rent and
overhead expense about three per
cent; allow the retailer an average
profit of only Ave per cent which he
certainly fs entitled to and one can
| readily see what big figure deliveries
and credits cat in this problem OF the
high cost of living says Mr. Craig
| ment and not ask their grocers to de-
| liver Ave or ten cents worth of this or
! that. about six times a day; and pay
cash for what they buy; and you would
| soon begin to see a. lowering of
| prices is the way MIR. Craig sums up
| the remedy.
! He adds further: The average re-
| taller who buys through the jobber or
wholesaler saves money. because he
gets better quality of goods and has
| the guarantee OF the jobber to make
good all inferior goods. The jobber
also sells to the retailer on liberal
| terms. In buying from the producer
the retailer has to take what he gets
| without any recourse in case the goods
do not come up to the standard and
| he also pays cash.
| That the middleman or tobber nor
the retailer are to blame for high

ahead of almost any other line Of mer-
chandise." Expressing himself thai
the farmer or producer is the mar
who is getting the advantage of the
great increase in the prices of food
