MEANS TO BUYER
Merchandise Priced at Cost

sociation Member Stores
During tho past two yoars tho na
tion has soon a generat wavo of wise
Investing. Never boforo In tho his
tory of tho country has there been
such a universal disposition to put
money Into something that would
guarantco roturns or help to curb tho
extreme high cost of living.
Tho condition of under production,
scarcity ot labor and an Increased do
mand for every manufactured prod
uct forcod prices to a level nover
reached in such a general way before
There havo been times when some
products have been high In price,
each In Its turn, and each adjusting
itself without causing a material
change in tho modes and methods of
buying and without affecting the dis
position ot the public at large. But
the present period of high prices has
been so universal In affecting every
thing bought by the Jobber, retail
merchant and consumer alike that It
ihas affected a complete change In the
buying markets.
The buyer, whether a retail mer
chant or a consumer, has accustomed
himself to buy only what he thinks Is
reasonablypriced or what will direct
ly and quickly reimburse him. This
fact has been more conspicuous
among the consumers than among
other buyers.
This season, in all Unet of manu
factured products, a decided increase
in quality has been noticeable. In
this way prices have been substan
tially reduced, but to date few ot the
commodities most In demand have
reflected a price decline.
SJnce the organization of the Bend
Merchants' association the problem
ot how to sell merchandise at the
very lowest price has been the prin
cipal consideration. To aid In this
endeavor. Booster day was origi
nated. Each member of the associa
tion prices at least one article, and
not more than three, at cost, and, in
many Instances, less than cost, and
otters these articles for salo on a
set day of each raonth-r-Bond Booster
day.
With tho bargains ot each store
combined in ono great salo comes
the possibility to save on many need
ed articles, and those who nro taking
advantage ot tho big bargain day nro
to a great oxtent beating tho high
cost of living.

Two boys were, selling oranges In
Minneapolis In 1884. One was get
ting ID cents for two oranges, tho
other was selling his three for 10
conts. Toward evening the two-for-
a-dlme orange peddler had to attend
to an errand and told his compctl
tor:
"I've got 30 oranges In my basket,
and you have 30 In yours. Mix 'cm
up and sell them five for 20 cents.1
When the oranges wero sold, the
boy found he had $2.40, but he only
gave the other lad $1.40 when ho re
turned. This young merchant
claimed he had $1.50 coming, as he
had consigned 30 oranges at two for
10 cents. It was pointed out to him,
though, that by selling at tlvo .for
20 cents there was a loss of 10 cents
In the transaction. Who should lose
the dime, and where did it disappear?

BUFFALO, N. V., Oct. 21. De
claring that It's n big mlstoko for
manufacturers ot women's nppnrel
and millinery to produce so many
styles ot gnrmontn and hats, Mlas
Eleanor Gilbert ot Now York, export
on tho probloms ot womon's npparol,
advocated stamlardliatlon ot stylo
, advocated standardization ot stylo
and price In womon's linos, In ad
dressing a mooting of morchnnts and
advertising men.
'Women today nro unnblo to toll
whether or not they uro getting
tholr money's worth whou purchas
ing suits, d reuses, millinery or other
Items ot fomlntno npparol," said Miss
Gilbert. Tho merchants woro urged
to advlso manufacturers to reduce
tho number ot styles and mako wom
en's cloths moro stnndard. She de
clared that manufacturers ot men's
clothing, hats, caps, etc., havo tho
right Idea ot fashions.
Miss Qllbert said that, 'although
manufacturers ot men's appnrol
change tho styles from season to Bea-
ton, tho garmonts aro so standard
ized that production costs aro low
ered and quantity production Is
keynote ot tho factories. Sho point
ed out that In women's apparel man
ufacturers only mako n few garmonts
of each stylo or design. This, sho
contends, adds to tho cost.
Tho advertising men were warned
that women shoppers no longer caro
to havo tholr Intolllgonco Insulted by
advertisements containing sonsclcss
exaggeration.
"For years," sho said, "tho favor-
llo sport ot (ho women nt tho conn
try was trying to conceal (holr rent
thought from men, ami It only tins
Imon recontly thai conditions havo
changed. Wo in on should iu longer
bo treated ns children, and women
havo n considerable degree of Intel
ligence. '
"Somo ot tho men who havo mndo
this discovery nro those who havo
carried wild, unbollevablo tnles In
advertising directed to women, In
tho publicity tor articles, purchased
almost exclusively by women, a lot
ot silly advertising Is being dono. Ad
vertising ot that sort docs not moan
uro up with tho Intelligence of Amor
lean women and they resont It."
