WHY Business SlRcks.

If you want TO know why business
seems to be Stacking up a little,
just study the habits of the people
fer the past two years.
For instance, a certain cotton
dress was recently priced as selling
in metropolitan store for $4,000.
1t cost just $40 to make it, The
same dress was being sold in an
other store in the same city for
$1,000. The first store would not
have priced it for $4,000. unless PEG
pie were willing to pay it.
In the centers of luxurious spend
ing for many months, the stores had
to mark up their goods to sell them.
Tie people have been spending their
money instead of sailing it down
where it could help carry on bust
ness. As a result capital is scarce
credit is strained, and many factories
are shutting down because they
can't borrow money at reasonable
rates. The people must save their
money and invest it wisely in order
to keep business going.
