TO THE PRODUCER AND THE
CONSUMER.
From authentic statements and
lettred evidences, we have cause to 1
harbor the feeling for a c nsoling
word In the relation of the merchant' '
to the producer and the consumer. a
Our advertisers, tlie merchants i“
*n particular, are, in every way on- c
ant cigaretty aftei taste nor unpleasant ciga-

eavcrlng at all times to put al. !
article:!) o$ necessity within the ad
vantageous reach of ail their pa
trons. They have, we assure y u,
been marking their goods, regard
less cf the cost price to them, to a
onsiderate price of average main
tained throughout the ‘market of
the selling world.
Each day, quotations are re
vived direct by them from buying
firms, on produce available only by
the merchants through the producer
As example, only recently, we
were shown a quotation on eggs;
i. e. $12.00 per crate. Tho mor
hant shipping, pays the freight,
which amounts to 45 cents on each
crate. The merchant is looser by
■0 cents on each crate sold for the
above quotation, on eggs that he *
aid the market price of the day pr- 1 - •
eding. Then, the producer wrang
'os in his mind why lie was paid ?n
under price again. The consumer
< likewise, only that he must pay
instead of receiving pay. |
Too, other goodn, dry goods, etc. I ]
*hc arket is so closely watched byL
nil- advertisers that the slightest j
leclire of only a few cents is given L
com the actually selling price,;;
which one cun plainly see amounts i
io big proportions when consider
i-’.g tho cost price to the merchant j
. id the cost price to the consumer, j
We honestly believe, friends; — j
not only do we believe, but have ;
every reason to feel, that our ad
vertisers in handling your wants,
are giving you the entire advantage c
and taken the largest burden c
of the market decline on their own p
course you know that battleships are '
