and the program was given over to
the department managers, who pre-
scented the price situation on the
goods handled in their several de-
partments.
Mr.. Bolles of the shoe department
covered the subject of leather and
the finished shoe i'll an interesting
manner. He showed that the total
declines in price of shoes to date,
from the peak price, had been fifty
per cent, and said that shoes now
being turned out showed better work
manship than at any time since 1914.
He said that in the manufacturing
centers thousands of men are stand
ing in line to secure work and that
better work can be demanded than
under the conditions that existed a
year or two ago.
Mr.. Walton, of the dry goods de-
partment, spoke of the declines in the
price of cottons and silks during 1921,
but said that prices for spring show
ed Slight upward tendency, although
he had bought wash goods at price
below that now quoted in the mar
kets
Mr.. Sampson, of the clothing de-
partment mentioned a reduction of
from 35 to As per cent in mems and
boys clothing, with and even greater
reduction on hosiery underwear and
all knit goods.

Mrs Ripley, of the womens ready

had been decided drop in all goods
in her department for the coming
spring season. Brighter shades will

spring.
Mrs Shepherd, of the millinery de-
partment, reported that spring MILL !

will leave shortly on her annual buy |
ing trip for the spring season.
Mr.. Belts, of the grocery depart
ment stated that general decline in
all food stuffs had taken place and
that some articles had dropped too
low and were now showing slight
advance. The general trend, he said,
WIS toward lower prices, with the ex-
ception of canned fruits.
MIR David was the final speaker,
stating that the fiscal year, which
ends February 1, had been a most
satisfactory one with the firm, the
record revealing that at least 80 per
cent more customers had been served
than in 1920 While the volume in
dollars was smaller because of the
greatly reduced prices, there were
more units sold, He expressed the
belief that the year just beginning
