Retail Price Declines VS..
Wholesale Reduction

There is another paramount issue in the mercantile
world. 1t is charged by those interested. or rather en-
gagged in business. that retail price Of declines exceed
wholesale price reductions. Discussion was started
when the National Association Of Manufacturers
broadcast a statement urging that a more equitable
reduction of prices TO consumers. in proportion TO the
drop in wholesale prices, be made. Retail merchants
feel that there could be no question in the minds OF
manufacturers as to the trend and extent OF retail
price changes for the reason that drastic reductions
In retail prices took place in 1890 and continued TO a
marked degree during the first five months Of the
current year. They say that in most lines of goods re-
tail price reductions are obvious and even the casual
shopper will readily tell you that better values at the
present time may be secured at greatly reduced prices
than at any other period during the past decade
A survey conducted by the National Retail Dry
Goods Association demonstrated that on 800 repre-
sentative items Of merchandise retail prices dropped
20.46 per cent as against a drop in wholesale or cost
prices on the same items of 1914 per cent for the
same period. They remind the buyers that these price
declines during the first four months OF 1891 on i'm
portant stores Of the country are a continuance Of
the more drastic reductions of retail prices which
occurred in 1890. In view Of the facts retailers feel
that Manufacturers of nationally advertised goods have
not yet done their part in passing on lowered retail
prices to the American public. This is the conclusion
Of the argument made by the Retail Dry Goods AS
ISOLATION OF America:
"Just as soon as these manufacturers. who reserve
unto themselves the privilege Of setting retail prices,
realize their responsibility to the public in this period
Of price adjustment and drop their retail prices in
proportion to the decline in prices OF raw materials
and declines which have generally taken place in un-
branded lines Of merchandise THEN WILL II PRI-
MARY CAUSE OF CRITICISM OR r RE-
TAIL PRICES BE REMOVED
1t is for the buyer 10 ask himself why retail price
declines exceed wholesale price reductions and for
e. u,hoIaraIarS "a faca tho issirp and make an argyll
ment in his own defense. Publicity based on rock
bottom facts is the kind Of publicity that the consum-
es Of the nation would lend willing ears in this re-
markable period Of American history.

WHILE Gaylord waited at the

and Beryl had attended II TO repre-
