Of SODA
 POP ADVANCES
 FIFTY PER CENT
Pine Bluff and All Dealers Of Soda Waters Forced
 to Advance Prices.

Much to their regret. the manu- lecturers of soda water have been compelled to advance the price on bottled goods fifty per cent. This causing the retailer to advance his prices accordingly. However, the profit of the retailer remains the same.
 The cause of the rapid advance from five cents to ten cents a bottle for bottled products is due to many reasons. making it compulsory. Gas drums formerly costing the bottling concerns $3.50 have advanced to s7.23. Sugar has advanced nearly two cents pound All other material used in it's manufacture has advanced ac- cordingly. Labor is a problem, and the men employed arc receiving fifty per cent more than in normal times.
 This is added to a new war tax of the government requirin. tax of 20 cents case on bottled products. This tax was imposed by an act of congress.
 These prices are now in effect in Pine Bluff for bottled products only. The dealers have delayed, hoping against hope that materials would de- crease, but the trend has been the other way.
