makes them the largest buyers
of mems wear in the state of

you against style changes and
undue price advances. This is
look ahead merchandising;
the method that has made
Madansky Brothers so re-
markably successful.

er he will take the oath again at the

The state department has ruled that

THE PRICE Of EGGS DROPS
TO h CENTS A DOZEN
DROP CAUSED BY MORE PLEN.
TIFUL SUPPLY IN THE
LOCAL MARKET.

Although the high price of food
stuffs in northern cities is causing
rioting among housewives, local
prices are lower than for several
months past, and eggs, which for a
long time sold here at 40 cents per
dozen, were on yesterday quoted at
25 cents.
The price of eggs, as of other COM
modities, is regulated by the law Of
supply and demand, and the reason
for the drop in prices is that the sup
ply seems to be much more plentiful
than it was earlier in the winter. It
seems rather early for hens to begin
laying, especially as the weather has
been very cold, but it may be that
farmers are not using so many eggs
at home and are bringing more to
town. At any rate, they were being
offered freely in the local market
yesterday, and the ruling price was
25 cents per dozen.
