COST OF LIVING
The question of whether living
costs have gone down in the past
year is answered in most convincing
manner by a window display shown
by one of the local grocery houses,
wherein the staple goods that could
be purchased a year ago for $50 are
contrasted with the greatly Increas
ed quantity of additional supplies
the same amount will purchase at.
present. The display shows that a
little over a year ago $50 would
purchase 100 pounds of potatoes.
100 pounds of sugar and 50 pounds
of flour. These articles are shown
in one window. In the other this
same small display is duplicated and
the extra goods that can lie purchas
ed for the same amount make the
other window look almost bare. In
cluded in the extra articles the same
money can buy today, are a case of
cream. 24 cans of corn. peas, beans
and tomatoes, six of each kind; one
sack of corn meal, one of rolled oats.
5 pounds of butter, the same amount
of high grade coffee. 2 pounds of
tea. lft pounds each of onions, rice
and bacon. 6 cans or salmon and an
assortment of crackers, ginger snaps
and condiments, the display com
prising as a whole, a good sized
grub stake that would last a single
person many weeks.
