BY THE PARK
UP AND DOWN

Price continues to be dominant in
the public mind. Declines can be
expected and are in evidence-whert
advances have been made. Just
where the drug store stands in this
matter is clearly set forth in re-
cent statement by prominent Chica-
90 wholesale druggist:
"In the first place, you must real
ize that the average of all price in
creases in the drug trade did not
reach over 33 and 1-3 per cent. over
1914" he said. "A large eastern
house, by analysis, found the exact
figure to 27.8. Those on proprietary
medicines and toilet articles. we
found, only increased II per cent.
For that reason there will never be
the same sort of a reduction thai
there already is in other lines.
In sharp contrast a report from
the Department of Labor shows that
Ginghams increased from 12Rc
74c a yard, Muslin from &c to 45c a
ward. Sheets from zoe to $3.50. The
same ratio prevails in many other
lines.
Briefly the situation is this: Whai
didn't go up can't be expected Z
come down. Drug store merchan-
disc advanced very slightly and
therefore only a very slight average
decline can be expected. Our Gus
toners will get instant and full ad-
vantage of every lowered price.
