I YOU PAY A HIGH PRICE
.
FOR almost everything you buy, including me commun
necessities and the expensive luxuries, from foodstuffs
to automobiles.
The one marked exception is lumber, which can be bought
cheaper today than for tmany a year past and is retailed in
Eugene in many instances for less than wholesale prices.
This means that your dollar will buy more now than at
any other time and this 'is therefore the time to spend it.
