Higher Wages : Shorter Hours
MUST Affect Retail Prices

The Washington Times regards it duty and
a service to inform its readers of these facts-all
of which bear on retail prices of such items as
clothing, Shoes house furnishings, and many
other home and personal neCessaries.
There will be some who will want to be on
the safe side and buy now the things they will
need for the family and the home later on
There will be others who will await further
developments and buy as their needs arise. These,
of course, will realize that price increases are
justified by conditions and will cheerfully pay
them-knowng that they are necessary for buSl-
ness recovery.
The Washington times., 1933-08-08

ALL OF AMERICA is responding to the
Presidents program for minimum wage scales
and fewer working hours-for the employment
of more people-for industrial recovery.
Conversations like "Helens and Marion's" re-
fleet the changing situation everywhere. Every
thing we eat, wear or utilize in any way will
naturally be affected. As retailers are faced with
rising costs-and many of them haze restored
former qOage rates-they must in turn increase
their prices. Some lines have already been mark
ed upward. Others may advance-either sud-
denly or gradually in accordance with conditions.
