plain Facts About the Higher oos'
of Merchandise

The law of supply and demand
has been taught us since chlldhoou'
And this is exactly the situation as
If stands today in reference 10 'he
l,iaber costs of all items made OF
cotton. wool and other primary rae
tors.
When the war first broke out ana
there was no demand for cotton 'he
nrice of cotton dropped to less tiian
70 Mound. AS the nations at war
exhausted their supplies and the
demand for cotton increased, the
price of cotton increased. so at
nresent, it is over zoe pounu.
Quite naturally, cotton fabrics OF
GOODS made of cotton materials
cost considerably more than wheh
the same materials or Merchandise
could be made of cotton costing oc
a pound.
The farmer has seen the same
idea prevail for his products be
fore the war; wheat could have peei
bought for considerably less than
buebal When the nations at war
exhausted their supplies and the
demand for wheat increased, a high-
or price was obtained-so much SO
tbat 1885, a bushel and more was
paid.
The merchant is placed in very
peculiar position. He realizes that
neople buy more goods when goods
are sold at lower cost. So then
II is his aim and effort to secure
such neutrality-suspicious. Vi
course. the merchandise measures up
IN his standard of quality-at the
lowest cost possible and in turn OIL
fer values which will create nTeas-
ed business. And that is why we
want to again mention here that thls
store is continuing to bend every
effort to secure the character OF
merchandise it's customers demand
and to sell such merchandise at
the lowest possible costs. We cannot
control the continued rise in costs
hut we can make and are making
every effort to keep down these
higher costs to the lowest possible
point. Your assistance makes our
task and problem easier and re-
bounds to your benefit.

different studios.
One of the members of the artist
colony, n sculptor. had asked her a
number of times to pose for him for
a statue, but she did not care to pose
in the nude. He was angered by her
refusal and told hef that either she
would pose foh him as he desired or he
would ruin her career as an artist
Nhen she still refused he turned bust
of her which he had been modelling
into fun length nude figure and in
