The public has come to look upon the retailers readjust- ments as the last in the cycle that must be completed before economic conditions are on comparatively sound basis preparatory to a gen eral revival of business.

I am copfi- dent that most of our retailers ap- pret end that the sooner their prizes are made. commensurate with the existing purchasing pow CT of their customers the better 1t will be for themselves.

as It required thirty days Of curing
after being laid, the section will not
be open until Novmber 27, or a day
