thing possibly can what the spring
season will be next year. is the opin-

though prices may not be down to

prevailing is that the public
feels 1t is getting its money worth.
Prices at the present time are not
inflated, he says, due principally to
the fact that manufacturers and
wholesalers are anxious to liquidate
their stocks for cash and take their
losses, If 6ny. at this time. This
liquidation is giving the consumer
the opportunity to procure merchan-
disc at what might be said attractive
