A Special Statement
To Merchants, Manufacturers
and Bankers who may ask the
economic reason for this in
dependent trade move
ment.
Volume is the keynote of American big
businessi. The high cost of living and the
low prices prevailing in the United States
prior to the war were made possible largely
by volume-on the part of the producer of
raw matericls, the manufacturer of the
finished product and the merchant distribu
tor to the consumer.
Today production is not going at f 11
capacity and the \result is that prices re
high, with 'little real prospect of heir
coming down until prod i tion rea ics a
normal volume.
High prices cause a curtailme t of con
sumption, which in turn me that the
manufacturer can not. produc his normal
output with the expecttion selling' it -at
these high prices. Thus \thevicious circle is
joined. In the effort to ' ake the first real
break in its oppressive rcle the Shackel
ford Stores with full k ovhedge of all that
it involves, have take a siep unprecedent
ed in the history of erchan ising.
' Though today, niufacture merchant,
banker, economi are all fran1 in stating
that their judg ents as to the fi pure prices
a are but gueassds, the Shackelfor~d Wiores of
fer their ei fire stocks at one-flftl\ to one
third off./
The result of this offering no one can
know, but we have faith in American busi
ness, and we believe by making this ex
periment something will be learned of. the
value of the governmental, financial and
mercantile interest of the country. Very
frankly, from our own viewpoint as mer
chants we believe that the increased volume
which will come as the result of this lower
ing of prjees will enablei us to justify the
losses taken on our stock.
We beligve this is the droper time to be
gin to reconstruct business on the peace
termi basis.
