Wholesale prices are down more than 30 per cent.—U. S. Bureau of Labor is said to have set the reduction at about 38 per cent.—the Federal Reserve Board is said to have suggested about 41 per cent., Dun’s report at about 30 per cent., according to the various commodities used as an index. Although retail prices were never as high, in proportion, as wholesale prices, they, too, are down somewhere around 30 per cent. on the average on most of the things we sell, in many cases more than half. Generally speaking, prices in the United States are approximately only 50 per cent. higher than in 1913, while in Canada, Great Britain, Australia, and Japan are said to be nearly twice as high; in Sweden two and a half, in France three times, and in Italy six times as high. Most economists agree that we will not be back entirely for some time to pre-war prices and it seems that prices to-day are nearing a stable level. lines, prices are stiffening and advances are being made be- cause of scarcity. Never for a moment do we let up in our determination to hold prices down to the minimum. Every day we refuse to buy certain merchandise where prices seem to be still too high, and with every new purchase of goods at lower rates, of r to assume In fact, in some mas care, to analysis, NOTICE In compiling and typing such a of figures, errors may creep in, although we have exercised We therefore reserve the right correct such errors tomers come to the store, the list be- ing presented mainly as a general course, our retail prices go down to the new basis—the whole store being on the new replacement basis every day. To give some tangible idea of how low the prices are in s git stocks we pre- sent a detailed list of new prices compared with those of 1, 1920—on regu- lar stocks and special stocks as they are now in this store at this time. In doing this we realize that we again throw ourselves open to unfair criti- cism and juggling of figures by those who seek to twist things their own way. just as during our 20 per cent. deduction sale certain merchants greatly reduc: certain limited lots of merchandise in an effort to make their prices seem lower than ours. But we have faith that the public ever distinguishes between the true and the false, between the real and a sham service. With our regular stocks on the new low basis of prices, we shall offer during May at special prices—still lower—whatever a cereful scrutiny of the market and unlimited buying power will produce. Be assured that our stores in New York and Philadelphia are close watchers on the markets of the world, daily and hourly, and that the people who buy our goods from us may be satisfied that we will not let them pay us a dollar for which we will not give them a dollar’s value.
