risen to such an extent that the for

Shortly after the war prices were
low. so low that the stores of Ber-

with men and women from countries
close to Germany. not to mention
England and the United States. who
found great advantage in buying
here Today Berlin prices are on a
parity with the outside markets, ac-

prefers to spend his spare money on

The best German suitings and the
