PRICES GOING UP
Every Line of Business Effected
by Increased Prices.

The consuming public does
not realize the strain of business
conditions that now prevails all
over the United States. Since
the first Of the year prices have
advanced in some instances more
than double. Every line Of bust
ness being effected, it naturally
meanes increased prices to the
consumer. The upward trend OF
the market has been closely
watched for longer period than
six months, but since the first of
the year there has almost ceased
to be II market tor many commod-
tiles. Manufacturers and whole
sa!ers have withdrawn prices and
now sell on spot quotations. In
creased prices will follow the ex-
haustion of present stocks and in
many localities the merchants
have taken advantage OF the prices
and raised their present stocks
to conform to the prices they will
have to pay for new merchan-
disc, This condition is accredi-
ted to the worlds disturbed trade
market and the European War.
The printing business is also
included in this list as prices in
many instances have advanced
thirty to seventy-fve per cent
and still on the incline. But the
subscription price Of the Grit
Advocate still remains $3.50 per
year. If you are in arrears your
one-ffty would help meet these
existing conditions.
