year shown are from 10 to almost
so per cent.
These reductions, however, bust
ness men point out, do not repre-
sent the true decrease In retail
prices. Many items have been sink
ing in price for the last three to
five years and in some cases prices
are down below the 1912 and 1918
levels, business men declare.

per cent lower than year ago and
furs are from 20 to 40 per cent
cheaper than at any time in the
last twenty years. Table linens are
one-third the price they were dur
ing the war.
Business men today warned the
conditions which make the present
low price levels possible are shifting
and indications are that business,
on the upgrade, will effect a re-
bound in retail prices that may
make many regret failure to make
purchases at current levels.

to the public by the retailers. Out
standing examples are in furniture,

housewife is recognizing the values
offered today and we are finding an
increase in business developing as
the public realizes the extreme low
prices which prevail. Purchases
made now surely will prove profit
able. Lower prices on raw products
naturally have reflected themselves
in the present-day markets and pur-
chases made by merchants, of course,
have been at lower price levels.
