LOCAL MERCHANTS SEE NO
GOOD IN PRICE. MARKINGS
PROPOSED BY PALMER

Harrisburg merchants take excep-
eral Palmer for the marking of all
goods with the wholesale prices, un-
less the practice of cost markings go
all the way back to the producer.
They say that the plan would dis
criminate against the retail merchant
who is at the mercy of the jobber,
the wholesaler and the producer In
the way of prices, and while 1t might
stop the small amount of proflteering
known to exist among retailers, II
would have no effect on the unseen,
and therefore more prone to offend,
wholesaler, jobber and manufacturer.
1t would be fair if it went all the
way back to the producer, one of the
merchants said. but the Attorney
General will have to enlarge his plan
unless it is to work injustice to the
retailer or to accomplish any good.
Especially do the local merchants
take exceptions to the statement OF
the Attorney General that the re-
tailers buy shoes for $3.50 and sell
them for SIS.
c. ]. Gregg, of the Gregg shoe
store. said that there has never been
so unfair proposition made by Mr..
Palmer. why is it necessary to
focus all the burden on the retail
ers," said Mr.. Gregg, when it is
quite obvious that if there is any
profiteerinS it is farther back than
the retailer and manufacturer"
John Kelley, OF the Kelley shoe
store, declared he believed Mr.. Pal
mer could prove his statement that
there were stores doing business in
u profiteering manner, but those
stores are certainly the exception
and not the rule.
1T is absolutely impossible for the
retailer to make any more profit than
before the war at the present manu-
facturer's price of shoes, and in
many cases profits are falling away
below pre-war figures" he said.
Herbert Parthemore, manager of
tn local Walkover branch, also de-
clared the statement of Mr.. Palmer
unjust.
william II. Bennethum, manager
of Dives, Pomeroy and Stewart, one
of the city's largest department
stores, said the declaration was the
most unfair. unjust and urreason-
able idea that had yet been put
forth"
mir. Palmer has placed some very
peculiar plans for bringing down
prices before the public" said Mr..
Bennethum, 'and l fail 10 see how
he expects to make successes of
them. Various business concerns do
business on different scales. and have
different overhead expenses, so that
he cannot hope to standardize prices
regardless of other circumstances. 1t
is an absurd idea"

j. William Bowman, of Bowman
and Company. said that the purpose
of such law would defeat itself.
eff buyers come into a store, un-
der the new law, and see a coat or
hat or a pair of shoes with the
wholesale mark on them radically
lower than the price asked by the
retailer, they will Immediately set
up n great cdy of 'gouging,' never
stopping a minute to think of the
middleman who may have handled
the article between the producer and
the retailer, or considering the over
head expenses of the retailer him.
self.
How many people who throng
the stores doing their Christmas
shopping now ever stop to think OF
the expenses of a store, of the sal
aries OF the clerks, the depreciation
of property, the insurance. advertis-
ing. everything which makes up the
expense of running a retail estab-
lishment? If the marking of prices
law is to be put through, why not
have ALL prices marked up from
the time the raw material is secured
until the finished goods appears on
the retailers counters? And in ad-
dition let the overhead expenses of
a store be plainly marked on the lit
tie card
Nachmann and Hirsh. of the Hub,
another Market street clothing store,
declared that the law was impos-
sible.
"Production is the watchword, -
said Mr. Hirsh, land no amount of
evading the issue is going to help
bring down the high cost of living.
A little less talk and n little more
work would solve the difficulty"
mo more unfair scheme could be
imagined" said Joseph Strouse, OF
william Strouses New Store. There
is no reason why the retailer
alone should bear the burden OF
being accused of profiteering. Why
not adopt the Canadian system
which attaches a card to every raw
product, and each succeeding agency
handling that product must clearly
mark its price upon it. Thus the
public can see just what the article
costs from raw material to ultimate
consumer"
