Ihis clearly shows that the public will no longer eupport the old system of retail business. Ihe ordinary retail dealers have to buy their goods frcm* the wholesale merchants here, and then have to pay heavy expenses, and so are. obliged ,-to charge *xerbi» taut profits to try and cover all these extra expenses.
