EDITORIAL 
We have wished it were possible 
for every woman in this city, whether 
or not she is a customer of this store, 
to be able to learn the exact condition 
of the wholesale markets and the ad- 
vancing cost of merchandise. 
We believe that sometimes people 
think a merchant makes more profit 
whet, prices are high—just the re- 
verse is the case at this store. When 
goods are high, as they are now, a 
merchant must be very careful in 
purchasing, yet he must have fore- 
sight enough to buy before prices go 
higher. 
So this editorial is merely to state 
that we would be only too pleased 
were we able to announce that the 
general trend of prices were down- 
ward. However, we shall continue 
to maintain our value giving policy 
and to offer dependable merchandise 
at the lowest prices possible.
