For Your
Dollar
Forty years or so ago, when
haircuts cost 15 cents, and pie
and coffee were served with meat
orders at 20 cents, the dollar

ious other causes made prices
soar skyward, has the dollar as

merchants are offering even
greater bargains than are ordi-
narily obtainable. On Saturday,

mand more in exchange for it­
self in this city than it ever has

scattered houses and a store or
