A Comparative Study Of New England
Markets .

It Is human nature to believe that
prices for the things you have to buy
are higher in your. town than else
where. Doubtless a householder In
the town of Houlton this morning who
steps into a local establishment and
pays 1sc a pound for salt pork believes
that II he were only In Skowhegan or
Lewiston he would be able to make
the same purchase for 16c or less. As
a matter Of fact, the average retail
price for list of 100 commodities
would probably be about the same In
one town as another. With reference
to determining that fact, 30 far a. de-
termination is possible, the Independl
ent-Reporter is undertaking to pub
lish market reports tabulated in such
way that comparison between va
rious towns and cities can readily be
made. This project would present NO
difficulties If someone in each locality
would volunteer to send in the neces-
sary reports from week to week. We
are quite certain that this tabulation
will be of great interest and useful
ness and we are going to seek the CO.
operation of some loyal citizen in each
of dozen New England communities
II you would be willing to make this
slight service in your community
please drop a postal card to that effect
to the Observation-Disclosures.
The first issues Of the table will be
likely to show some inaccuracies
which can be eliminated later on. Sup
posing we are considering:
Wood-stove, dry, first quality, retail

wock in getting at the price Of this
