Especial Correspondence of the Even
ing Post)
Kansas City, Mo-. Dec. 26.-These
are puzzling times for the small coun-
try merchant. who is doing business
on moderate capital. With the soar
ing prices for all kinds of goods he is
handicapped more than the average
person realizes. The credit man Of a
grocery house doing business through
out the Southwest explained the sit
uation of today thus:
I'VE are watching our trade very
closely just now. and 1t looks as
though we should have considerable
financial embarrassment among the
little merchants during the next six
months. 1t grows out of the lack OF
business judgment in the little towns.
The large merchants buy in quantities
and for future delivery; little fellows
buy two or three weeks ahead. For
instance. groceries bought last sum-
mer, and being delivered now-canned
gods, for example-are being laid
down 20 to 25 per cent. cheaper than
the little merchant buying from hand
to mouth can get them. But the larg-
or merchant insists on selling on the
basis of his purchase price and the lit
tie merchant must meet prices.
"This will make many firms do bus.
mess at no profit. OF course the man
who bought early ought to raise his
prices. but he is eager for business.
When he sells out all will be on a
level. but in the meanwhile ii is hard
luck for the little merchant. Bust
ness has held up well. considering the
soaring prices, for the farmers. getting
high prices for their products, do not
feel the advance. About the same
amount of goods seems to be sold. but
Lluxuries are not moving as freely as
usual On the whole. il has been thus
far a satisfactory fall trade"
The country towns have reaped a
big benefit from the automobile trade.
and the possession of a car seems to
call for more expensive living in other
directions. such as clothing and home
comforts. 1t has brought a higher
scale Of expense which has been sat
isfied by the purchases at the larger
towns. now reachable by car. and Is q
detriment to the little trading towns.
which are holding only the staple
trade and goods that are of immediate
ned. A complete Transformation Is
going on in the readjustment Of the
farmers trade and 1t is more notice.
