Canada. U. s.
Clothing 25 Per Cent Cheaper

Comparison of prices Of clothing ''s
more difficult, because of the widely
varying qualities and styles. of gar
ments. The general impression, how
ever, from survey of the mems cloth-
ing stores on both sides of the line IS
that clothes in Canada are rs per cent
cheaper than they are in the United
States. ~
The reason for the reversal Of the
situation that existed before the war,
when most necessities of life were
cheaper in the United States than IN
this country, is given by economists In
both countries as follows: The HOOD OF
money into the United States during
and since the war has brought about a
period of national extravaganza that is
reflected in every industry, every busl-
ness, every walk of life. The newly
rich, in the larger cities, are setting a
pace in spending that the whole coun-
try is forced to follow. Merchants can
sell anything at almost any, price, and
they are doing 1t. Canada also is pass
ing through a period of extravaganza,
but the spendthrifts in this country
are not so numerous in proportion to
the pulation.-Montreal Star.
