II don't know how to get reduc-
tion of prices unless some one starts
it," Mr.. Stevens said. Everybody
knows that this is day of extortion.
Get it while the getting is good seems
to be everybody's motto.
Business has never been so good
as it is now and will continue to be
good for the next year. But we are
cutting prices because we want to be
fair with the public. .Fhe time to cut
prices is when business is at it's best.

business. If the hotels start cutting
prices other business will follow"
