an enormous business goes without
saying.
The prices asked in the new store
will be watched with keen interest by
the public at large as although the
prices Of foodstuffs have scared enor-
mously, the retailer has maintained
all the time that he isn't getting any
thing out of it, that his margin has
been very small Of course while we
will all be glad to get groceries at
reduced prices, we can't believe there
can be much of a reduction, as it must
be admitted that there are not many
local grocers who have attained the
million mark financially The Press
is willing to believe that the real
profteer in foodstuffs is higher up.
However, the prices at the new store
will tell the tale.
