Retail prices in Seattle stores are 15 to 30 per cent less than a year ago, asserts a statement issued here by Harold H. Moore, secretary of the retail trade bureau of the Seattle chamber of commerce. This bureau has been making an investigation in recent weeks of comparative costs of today and a year ago on more than 100 articles of common use. These articles were selected at random and an Investigation' of prices was made at various stores. Prices given are the regular ruling prices and sale or special prices have not been taken. In announcing the result of the In vestigation Mr. Moore said: "Atten tion is called to the fact that the process of reduction was first started by the retail trade, with the 20 per cent off sales held a year ago this May." The retail trade bureau asserts that the public has been misled in many instances as to the extent of wholesale price reductions. Many of these greatly heralded reductions have been like those recently an nounced by a large cotton house. This firm announced a reduction, in which t quoted its price of a year ago as that from which the reduction was being made,, while the low price was not for present deliveries, but for orders on deliveries six months from date."

And, My! What a Pretty Suit It Makes! But, ah the secret! Once upon a time its very ingredients were picked from pil of old wool rags perhaps, too, a few clippings from the tailor's bench and here and there an old carpet was added. Yes, it's all in the making of an ordinary suit is the use of shoddy, and chances are it will look all right for a while but its length of service is measured in weeks or days!
