Richmond times-dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1914-current, 1920-05-09

Volume is the keynote of Amer
lean big business. The high stand
ard of living and the low prices
prevailing in the United States
prior to the war were made posi-
BILE largely by volume-on the part
Of the producer of the finished
product and the merchant : dis
tributor to the consumer.
Today production is not going at
full capacity, and the result is that
prices are high, with little real
prospect of their coming down un-
til production reaches a normal
volume.
High prices cause a curtailment
Of consumption, which in turn
means that the manufacturer can
not produce his normal output with
the expectation of selling it at
these high prices. Thus the vi
cious circle is Joined. In the cf-
fort to make the first real break in
this oppressive circle the Wanna
maker Stores, with full knowledge
of all that it involves, have taken
a,step unprecedented in the history
of merchandising.
Though today manufacturer,
merchant. banker, economist are
all frank in stating that their judg-
ments rs to the future prices are
but guesses, the Wanamaker Stores
offer their entire stocks without
reservation of any kindat one-ffth
off. The result of this offering no
one can know, but we have faith in
