Mr..^’. ,G GourtHns of •' Kjngstree

business. H ' . 1
There ,«is . no shortage of sugar in
the United States; sugar prices are
entirely too high alid are fostered by
the cupidity of the purchasing public
in storing sugar, aided by a few profit
eering wholesalers,* This is the opin
ion of Dr. Royal Meeker, commission
er of labor statistics.
Dr. Meeker, who has just returned
from a trip to New Orleans, said New
Orleans sugar dealers are asking 33
cents wholesale for sugar, expecting
to sell at retail for 35 cents.!.' fThis
price, he said, is made possibjje, liy
the purchasing public, which is will
ing to pay almost any price for sugar
in order to get it. There is no phy
sical shortage of sugar. Dr. Meeker
said, but there is a possibility that
wholesalers are holding up last year’s
stock for higher ’ prices.
Purchasers Misled on Future
At, the same tilde purchasers, mis
led by'stories appearing in print re
garding 40-cent sugar, are buying ami
hoarding sugar at 20 cents with the ,
canning season in view. This hoard- i
ing take sa great deal of sugar off!
the market and increases the price.!
so that the man who does not hoard I
sugar at the 20-cent price is worse |
off than those who have made higher
prices possible.
The same principle holds true all
the Way down the line, Dr. Meeker
believes. He said that although there
is a physical shoYtage of cotton and
woolen goods in the United States,
due no doubt to the large stocks own
ed and held in warehouses by the
Army and Navy, there is no reason^
for the high prices for cotton and
woolen goods now prevailing. Prices
may and probably should have risen
75 per cent since 1914. Dr. Meeker
said, but there is no possible justifi
cation for the large increase shown
in latest reports of the Bureau of
Labor Statistics.
Clothing Has Risen 225 Per Cent
A review of prices to be issued
by the bureau wil show that clothing
as a whole has risen more than 225
per cent since 1913. ^
Borrowing of money during the war
has hild a great deal to do with the
present high prices. Dr. Meeker said.
“To ge,t their profits back quickly,
dealers have inflated prices and have
made big profits in a relatively short
time, instead of making small profits
over a period of years, as was the
case before the war. There is un
doubtedly profiteering in. practically
every commodity, but profiteering is
not near,las prevalent a^;we are led |
to believe and whatever profiteering j
there Is has small effect on the cost I
of commodities.”. ., r !

Unusual Value-In Tires

3 for the Smaller Cars
A-
V ■. i
rmi
Not only is characteristic Goodyear merit
conspicuous in Goodyear Tires for the smaller
cars, but ordinarily the first cost is found to
be not greater than that of other tires; often
it is actually less.
The combination of unusual value in first
cos{ and very low final cost, of course, is a
result of Goodyear experience, expertness
and care employed as insistently in the mak*
ing of 30x3-, 30x3 , /2- and 31x4-inch tires
as it is in the construction of the famous
Goodyear Cord Tires used oh the highest-
priced .automobiles.
«
For this reason more cars using these sizes
were factory-equipped last year with Good
year Tires than with any other kind.
Get this unusual tire value to enjoy on your
Ford, Chevrolet, Dort, Maxwell, or other
car using one of these sizes, at the neafest
Goodyear Service Station. .Get these tires
and Goodyear Heavy Tourist Tubes at this
station.
