The reac- tion from the careful use of money during war time is wide- spread and disturbing. Retailers are securing goods from jobbers without arguing about prices, if they can only be assured of im- mediate delivery. They know their customers will scramble for the goo regardless of cost. Thus, with an abnormal demand and a limited output, nothing else can be expected than high prices. It is a natural, though deplor- able, consequence that profiteers abound “The people must return to the policy of careful buying and reg- ular saving if they wish to help the situation.
