To The Music- Loving Public of Washington 1 believe that as quickly as possible this country should see a general lower- ing of prices of all commodities, so that the inflated conditions of the past few years may be returned speedily and quickly to a normal level. I believe the best way to foster and promote the general return of the right kind of prosperity is for this country now—today—to start buying what it wants at prices it can afford to pay. The right way to start that buying is for the merchant to place the merchan- dise he offers at prlcel within the reach of all. I believe in practicing what I preach, and, therefore, let me announce that cnlllnz dull times beginning September 6th we will inaugurate.
