Bad weather in North one cause—can't replace stock with money from sale prices. _ “That recent price cutting in northern cities was any- thing but a patriotic proposition or a bona fide lowering of figures all along the line was the Let Phew gained by enzy Gibbens.and Morris Wolf, prominent Tampa cloth- ing dealers, who have just returned from New York. Their observation led them to believe there will be no general reduction in the cost to consumer of staples'in any line ex- cept such as low-grade wools. “On the other hand, while drops in raw markets Paes seemingly indicate lower gong new labor wage scales in effect May 1 and June 1 will undoubtedly send prices in some lines still higher. “Bank detlation of credits will not affect legitimate business,’ they said. “ ‘Regarding Wanamaker’s widely advertised 20 pe cent. reduction,’ said Mr. Wolf, ‘if you could realize what fierce weather they have had all spring and what great quantities of stock accumulated as the result of unfavor- able conditions, it would take no wise man to decide that Wanamaker had to unload and that his and similar much- touted sales were made from motives of mere business expediency. They can’t replace at same ices if the goods sold at these sales were actually marked down as advertised,’ continued Mr. Wolf. “The merchant will be unable to replace them under a 50 per cent. increase. “This means higher prices this fall and, as a matter of fact, most of the marked-down goods are any but seasonable. There is absolutely no indication of lower rices on staple goods of merit until other lines begin to Break. There is no reason for supposing that clothing will drop to any marked degree.’ ” WALTER L, OWENS. May 22, 1920. Walter L. Owens, Tampa, Florida. Thank you for your kindly interest in telegraphing, me the rigmarole of some one published in the Tampa Times. No such statement ever reached me in my life that had so many false- hoods in it. Our business never was so large as it has been this year before the Pits movement. We had no overstock and were especially free from old stock, the large sweep of the daily business flushing the pipes and keeping us with a clean stock. The rainy weather did not sensibly affect our business. The creating cause of the inception of the movement was the pressure to sell on owners of Liberty and Victory Bonds, undet the influence of the Federal Reserve Banks, the poverty of the opie who had taken small amounts to reduce a Government Bond to a discount of between 15 and 20 per cent. The action of the Federal Reserve Bank in Washington, stating ipopliey in the newspapers that the tendency of prices for the Autumn would be upward, led me to resolve that 1 would do my utmost to stand in the way of raising the high prices already current. We have sold practically one-half of our stock with which we began, and we have bought with cash seven millions of dol- lars, at retail selling prices. If you have any one in Tampa or anywhere else who would offer to take our entire stock and ive us a certified check on any bank or trust company for the th regular prices, without the 20 per cent. deduction, they could not have it. For the great purpose of halting the disposition of some manufacturere and corporations to continue to raise prices, we have undertaken to serve notice that we will not stand for any increase of prices. We are not agents for manufacturers or corporations, We own the stock we have, and it is paid for. We are not cutters of Res, but we have used, temporarily,. the opportunity to awaken the people to some duty besides simply making profits, irrespective of what is due to our patient ‘omes who, during the war, have met the high prices, and who are restive at the idea that they have got to continue to be at the.mercy of people thai by combinations and selfishness, insist on getting out of their all they can, with power: ful influence and great wealth back of them. You are at liberty to use this in any way you like.
