The Middleman and High Prices There has been a good deal of talk about doing away with the middle- men, in order to cut down the cost of living which everybody admits is high. In a number of magazines, anticles have appeared in which the attempt has been made to prove that the mid- dlemen—the wholesalers and retail- ers—are to blame for these high prices. Instances have been cited where people by purchasing “direct” from the manufacturer or from the big mail order houses, actually did seem to save some money. But when you come to simmer the whole thing down and examine into the particulars it is always found, that, on the average, these so-called “direct-to-consumer”’ institutions charge as much and often more than the retail merchant who conducts his business on up-to-date principles. And it stands to reason, that they must, for their selling method in- volves a great many more expenses that are necesary in the average well conducted retail store. In fact their selling expenses are almost if not fully twice as large as those of the retail store, ranging as they do from 35 to 40 cents on every dollar they take in, as against less than twenty cents in ‘the retail store. In order to undersell the retailer, they would have to buy goods, on an average 20 cents on the dollar cheap- er than the retailer pays. In other words, theix cost price per doMar unit must be 20 cents less—which is absolutely impossible, because few manufacturers make 20 cents gross on every dollars’ worth that they produce. The only reason why these so-call- ed “direct” sellers succeed in build- ing up any business is, that they pratice the method of cutting prices on articles which have an establish- ed value in the public’s mind. For instance, they will sell a trade- marked article, which is advertised to the consumert by the manufactur- er as having a 50 cent value, for 39 cents. In doing this, they have no. other purpose than to impress the readers of their advertisements with the mistaken® idea, that all their goods on the same basis and same people. are foolish enough: to believe thew, while as a matter of fact, on many articles which have no estab- lished value their prices are higher than are usually asked by the retafl~ er. <> Generally speaking, there is'noad-~ vantage whatever on the consumer in buying by thie misnamed “direct?” method. He can always buy as well from his home 'town merchant. FH K KKK K KK KK % POLITICAL:COMMENT ¥ R R R R e e e R T E R R R R ] Does elimination eliminate?

'BUILDING. MODEL .TOWN | ~umber Company ‘Ei J Date Settlement For »Employ-u. All; the convenlences of up to|date | city npnrtments exc(-l)t A Janitor, with the addiffonal ‘benefits of living ih de- houses,” will be ‘enjoyed . by workmen employed by the Red River Lumber company. which'is building o' model town at‘Westwood, Lassen coun- the-leart of the company’s timber: lands. Household drudgery will be banished by modern -appliances’ fn- comfortable and ‘convenient in arrangements as, the. architects can make them. 3 The ‘company-designs to reforest the timber tract as’the lumber is cut, and also to make Westwood a permanent town. T. B. Walker, a big lumberman and practitioner of conservation, who is treasurer of the company, is in: pér- sonal charge of the work. Despite the fact that; it has been only six-or eight months since the town was laid out, it | already has a population. of 2,000, and it ig/estimated that next summer, when the work in the mill and woods starts, there will be fully 6,000. persons living there. The railrond ‘was completed- to the new town on Jan. 1, but,previously the parts for the first mill and.many oi the other buildings were hauled over the mountains. for sixty miles. A sec- ond mill is mow being built. TURN HAIR DARK WITH ‘SAGE “TEA Grandma kept her locks dark, glossy |. and thick with a simple ‘mixture of Sage Tea and’ Sulphur. The old-time’ mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grand- mother’s treatment, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sen- s'ble, as we are living in an age when a youthful appearance s of the greatest advantage. Nowdays, though, ‘we doh’t have the troublesoe task ‘of gathering the 'sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready to-use product called “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair ' Remedy” for about 50 cents a bottle. It‘is very popular because nobody can’ discover it has been applied. Simply ‘moisten your: comb -or a soft brush_ with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at ‘a’time3/ by morning the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies iwith Wyeth’s Sage ‘and' ‘Sulphur'is' that, [/ besides' beautifully darkening | the hair ‘after a few applications; it/ also produces' that soft lustre and appear: ance of abundance ' which is'so at- tractive; besides, prevents dandruff, ttching scalp’and falling: hair.
