In a uli-page newspaper advertisement, it printed two pictures of men's shirts. The shirts were identical in appearance, in material, in cut, and in workmanship. One of them sold for 89 cents; the other for $1.25. The-89-cent one was the shirt this store had on its couii tera i at the start of the summer. The other was one that is ' on sale now. The man who grew the cotton for the 8Sl-cent ; shirt, the advertisement pointed out, lost money on it. His ' cotton pickers got canned goods and groceries in place of cash wages. The workers in the textile mills that changed the raw co.ttoii into fabric got starvation wages around $5 a week. The girls who turned the cloth into a finished shirt got a little bit less than that. The men who employed the workers in these establishments were hot making money. And the store which sold the shirt was losing on the deal. Of course, for the purchaser, it was a bargain of a sort. Nowi for the $1.25 shirt. The man who raised the cotton for it got a decent profit on his crop. He paid his pickers in cash, not in groceries. The textile workers who turned the cotton injto fabric got at least $13 a week. The girls who yicn will cr-l .iumberjack Jr1. as the mutvw: .JhnnvEiir U,r&Z &t the Str di glove ltd ZfVr.3 as though cd made the shirt got enough money so they could eat decently, live decently, and put off the burden of fear. Their respec tive employers were able to make a profit. The store itself was able to make money on the deal. So this shirt, as the ad went on to explain, for alj that it cost considerably more than the first one, also was a bar gain. It had no starvation wages, no child labor, no rising scale of losses woven into it fabric. It represented a fair break for everyone concerned in its production. The first bargain was a bargain built on human misery; the second, a bargain that promotes the welfare of the whole country. You could apply much the same sort of reasoning 'to al most every commodity you buy. Whatever else it may do, a rising price level at least saves us from the ruinous "bar gains" we have been getting in the last couple of ,years.
