Proves Wisdom of hesiod.

The many prove the wisdom OF
Hesiod, who says that the road 10

and there IS no need Of persplrlns;
but before virtue the immortal gods
have placed the sweat OF labor, ana
long and steep is the way thither, and
rugged at first; but when you have
reached the top, then, however diffl'
cult, It becomes easy.-Plato.

What s the SituationNOW

Prices are starting to go up.
 More people-rnore than you are aware of need lots of things, and they have the money to buy them with, and they are buying.
 Buying begets buying power, it increases the demand until it is filled, and it accelerates the natural rise of prices.
 Some prices are higher now than they were last week.
 And they will go up steadily-until the de- mand is supplied and begins to fall off again.
 Let's buy now-before prices swing back up. Let's buy now-before everybody wants the same thing we want and we will have to pay more for it Let's buy before the demand becomes greater than the supply.

Prices ARE Fixed!

Everybody-you, and I, all of us-fixes prices.
 Operating through us, without our knowledge of it, is a great big economic law which controls prices with an iron hand.
 It is the inflexible law of supply and demand. When there are more buyers for anything than there are things to be sold, prices go up because buyers compete with each other for the privilege of buying-and the higher price wins
 When almost nobody wants anything it's price is low.
Arizona republican., 1921-09-15
Here's Who It Is!
It isn't the retailer.

It isn't the retailer.
 The price at which he sells is primarily based on the price at which he buys His selling price is his buying price plus his cost of doing busi- ness plus fair profit.
 It isn't the jobber.
 His selling price is his buying price plus the same necessary costs as the retailer.
 It isn't the manufacturer
 He buys raw materials and he buys labor and combines the two. His selling price is based on his costs
 It isn't the farmer. He produces goods and sells them at price set by someone else! If it isn't the farmer and manufacturer who produce goods and if it isn't the retailer and the jobber who distribute goods, then nobody fixes prices.
 Nobody fixes prices-yet everybody fixes prices!
 Paradoxical as that may sound it is simple economic fact.
