t it is the seller only who practl- r<

t people pay what is charged tbeni j*'
hout the patience or the power to

litional costs of dainty and attrac- '
i packages for cereals, crackers, a
i and the like. Indeed under the 15
er of special tins an amount of an a
Icle is sold at a price which makes s
icund cost two or three times as
ch as formerly. The psychology c
the retail market Is itself a study a
no mean interest. Habit, fancy,
rice, rumor, emulation, gregarious
ion of a set, may play a part. Once j?
nan gets established with a cliele
he puts up his prices. Ho

customer goes on paying the 111

prices for each half mile as one
ses from the centre of a city to its

evidence of what some regard as ^
