Yet a woman goes into a store and if a pair of shoes on one counter is marked $12, and a pair in a less conspicuous place, but iden- tically like them, is marked $9, she will look at both—and take the more expensive pair. This is not an unwarranted charge against the women; it is a fact, found- ed on investigations made by Miss Ed#h Strauss, director of women’s activities against high cost of living, department of justice, in Washington.
