Buys Go
Here sead
of In Pueblo

Complaint Is sometimes made that
the cost of living in Canon City Is
greater than almost anywhere else in
Colorado, and that merchants here
exact higher prices for merchandise
than those OF other towns in the
state. AS rule this complaint is not
justified by the facts. although in rare
instances there may be warrant for a
kick in this respect. This is true of
any town in the United States when
applied to isolated and unusual in
stances, as most people know from
observation and experience. 1t may
surprise some people to know that
living expenses are as high in many
parts of New England and the Middle
States as they are in Colorado where
they are naturally expected to be con-
siderably cheaper Some OF the neces-
stiles cost more there than they do
here.
That prices OF merchandise are not
unduly high in Canon City is evil
denced by the purchases of goods here
by people Of other towns. and taken
home by them because OF the lower
price they are able to obtain In this
community II not infrequentiy hap
pens that goods are purchased here
and taken to Pueblo on account Of the
lower price demanded for them by To-
cal dealers. A case in point occurred
here q day or two ago when a Canon
City furniture firm sold big bill of
goods. amounting 10 s1.40o or more.

their home there. The sale was not

Ten Cent Lines
Back to Normal
Says A. B. Wood

Alva B. Wood of the wood-well-
worth Stores Company, has returned
from Chicago where he attended the
National Variety Merchants conven-
tion. and the special exhibitions of
the manufacturers Of the 10-cent lines.
He states that prices are practically
back to normal. and that the quality
is much improved and the quantity
larger than ever before.
In the toy lines German goods are
very much in evidence. which will
make it possible very largely this
year for toy dealers to offer better
quality toys for less money.
