What's Going On In Merchants Return
Wholesale Market
By AL CRYSTAL
Manager of Roeaawnpar'
Never before have I been so as-
tounded and amazed at the preaent
day methods used as on my recent
trip to St. Louis.
In normal times a buyer in the
market is usually hounded by eager
salesmen, desirous of selling their
wares, who would resort to such meth-
ods as to phoning prospective buyers
at unreasonable hours in the morning
to make sure they would get to talk
co them before they ventured out in-
to the market. Other salesmen with
-ess audacity would leave their busi-
ness cards under the room doors
and in the mail boxes—any method of
getting in contact with a buyer was
used.
On my recent trip I found things
just the reverse—customers hunting
salesmen and when visiting whole-
sale houses they were shown that
the salesmen were not eager to sell,
because it is the opinion of all the
manufacturers and jobbers that goods
are extremely low in comparison to
prices expectant.
I visited one of the largest shoe

other districts in the county were ex
pected for the coming session. He
has been notified that e'.jht pupils
will come from Dime Box, in Lee
County, and that probably several
other Lee County students would
come here for high school purpose#.
"With the above in mind," Mr.
Harrison stated, "it is expected that
tiie enrollment in the high school
(the last four years of the course
offered) will run close to 300 for
1888-84."
Mr. Harrison indicated further that
all matters relating to the transpor-
tation of pupils to the local high
school should be taken up with the
oounty superintendent and the county
board, as they are charged under the
rural aid law with working out the
details of this program. The local
district has indicated its willingness
to take all students transferred to it

the results of efforts to reduce acre-

The indicated yield an acre for this

18 per cent higher than the 10-year
average of 167.4 pounds from 1922

nettled and they were in such a posi-
tion as not to be able to fix prices,
imagine having goods and not know-
ing how much to ask for them!
Another manufacturer who had
merchandise on the floor told me he
had no prices. He said he was unable
to quote prices for fear of selling too
cheap; he was ashamed to quote high
prices because he might be too high,
so he decided to hold what he had un-
til next month, believing prices would
re-adjust themselves by that time.
All in all the consensus of opinion
was that goods will be much higher,
due to increased labor cost, plus gov-
ernment taxes and I urge very con-
sumer at this time, regardless where
he makes his purchases and regard-
less what items he needs, to buy now!
This is tha time to buy—it* the time,
for the seller not to sell, if one could
go on without having some income, as

It is generally held that cotton will
be much higher than at present, re-
gardless of the government estimate,
and I urge and advise all to buy all
they can and sell nothing until later
on, when prices will be much higher.

Bewildered Ovar
.Unsettled Prices
Al Crystal and C. H. Moore Rack
From Markets of Mid-
West.
At least two Caldwell merchants
were bewildered when they went to
markets at St. Louis and Chicago
last week, returning to this city won-
dering what it was all about.
C. H. Moore, head of the Hendler
& Moore department store, returned
Sunday from a tour of markets at St.
Louis and Chicago; Al Crystal, of
Rosenwaser's store, was back here
Tuesday from a ten day trip to the
Missouri metropolis.
Both merchants reported that price
conditions at the markets were really
chaotic and that in many instances
they were unable to obtain any defin
ite price for future shipment. Cloth-
ing and shoe prices have soared well
above the 100 per cent mark and in
dications are will continue upwards.
Many of the wholesalers and jobbers
were indifferent in making sales,
claiming their products would be
worth more money next month.
"Why some fellows wouldn't even
make an effort to sell, " Mr. Moore
reported. "The situation is the most
perplexing I have ever seen and no
one seems to know what is really go-
ing to happen. All I was able to learn
was that prices were going up al-
most every day."
Mr. Crystal found shoe manufac-
turers reluctant in making sales. "One
of the firms we Save been dealing
with for years was completely out of
shoes and would not even guarantee
prices for immediate deliveiy," said
Mr. Crystal, in discussing hir trip.
"Everybody ia convinced that we have
not reached the peak prices and some
are of the opinion thnt dry goods and
shoes have just started on the in-
crease."
Mail Order House

A nationally known mail-order
house this week flooded Burleson
with catalogs, H being unofficially
reported that it required thirty mail
bags to transport the books to the

attractive to many bargain seekers.
