simplify the process Of buying food and also stimulate
trade, but much better application Of the theory would
be to advertise regularly in the newspapers making point
Of quoting prices
This would be double convenience to the women for
it would enable them to make up their lists before they left

also would have tendency to bring prices to uniform

that it does not pay But that very short sighted policy
