THE

prices go up? Go downs? Stay

ty-seX thought prices would
continue upward; IA said they
will remain about the same,
and the remaining ten believe
they will be lower by the
years end.
Averaging the answers, the
concensus is that prices won't
change substantially one way
or the other. That may be a
disappointment to the consum-
err, who has watched his dollar
shrink like wool in water, but

So, when you go shopping,
don't expect to find a lot Of

find, however, are merchants
who sell you what you want
at a far lower profit margin
than most people realize. That
is true whether you patronize
