generally pretty good, and there
should be considerable activity in
moving wheat and potatoes as soon
as they are grown. Everybody is
working and everybody is consuming
goods, and ! see no reason why we
should not have very busy autum
season, with money rather plenti-
full"
Hoffman and Gravin, proprietors
of The Toggery: Business has been
so good all spring and summer, there
is no reason why it should not be
good all fall. In our line there is a
loss of consumers, due to so many
of the young men going to war.
There is falling off in the sales of
shoes and clothes for young men,
but that does not necessarily affect
other lines SO much as it does ours.
We were new in this location last
year and as we compare the two
years, it shows large increase in
our particular store, but people are
buying and using goods the same as
usual, and they have more purchas-
ing power now to meet the higher
cost of goods"
Ernest Pearson, proprietor Pear
sons Grocery: Business ought to be
about as usual this fall but these
sugar certificates are giving me con-
siderable trouble just now. The
food administrator is so stingy with
his sugar. The grocery business is
jogging along with its daily pro-
blems. Business is quite stable not
withstanding the rapid changes in
goods and prices. Grocers are not
being put out of business, neither
do they seem to be making any
money. They are turning their
goods and swapping dollars. We
find 1t hard to get certain lines, such
as sugar, -four, bacon, canned goods
etc., and we have to make the best
of it. We used to get canned goods
from Utah that we are unable to get
now. For instance, can of berries
that we used to sell for 25 cents
costs 48 cents now, and we can't get
what we want at that. Some time
ago the government engaged the
bulk of the product of the Utah
Canning company, saying they would
want from SO to rs per cent of their
output. Owing to the scarcity of
tins and crates and other materials
and labor, they can only can about
60 per cent of the normal output.
After the government takes what it
wants of that, we grocers get the
rest, and 1t makes a very small sup
ply in comparison with what we have
usually bought. But people are not
buying canned goods now like they
used to. They are raising it in their
own gardens or raising something to
take the place of the canned goods.
This war and its hooverizing is
teaching us all something about
