IT HAS passed into a truism -and there is a reason. It
is especially true today, with deflation an accomplished
fact in many lines, that the people can buy with confi
7 ' "dence at Meier & Frank's. Wholesale prices have come
down. . Retail -prices, although never as high in proportion
as wholesale prices, particularly here, are down about
30 per cent on an average, on most of the things we sell. We
append a list showing on many diverse lines of merchandise
comparisons between our prices today and the corresponding
prices of a year ago. This we do for the especial benefit of new
comers, as our great body of regular patrons is well acquainted
witH the essential facts as stated. The list is presented mainly as
a general analysis of Meier & Frank's REGULAR prices on stand
ard quality merchandise. On various special stocks our prices
are much lower. It is fine to know that prices are "nearing a
stable level. Be assured that whatever changes dovnward fur
ther take place in commodity prices will be reflected instantly,
as they have always been reflected, in our prices to you.
