the increase in price to Ihe consumer This does not slow down the process of rising costs In contrast it prepares us for the next price increase We Ihen accept the idea that food prices rise con tinually Unless they make a mistake and buy the food at a store where prices are lower we will probably remain convinced Indefin itely that food prices must rise The situation in home entertainment equipment is quite different If the baskets were filled each month with TV and stereo a decrease would be reported I made a price comparison between now and seven yean ago and surprised myself If you took the most common items of home entertain ment in a well equipped home you would find a list of major items something like this a inch color TV a inch color TV a stereo tuner an amp of IS watts a

shared by geniuses in the ic world There is no secret since It occurs year after year and no genius is required Many respectable economists writing artlcl today are on the same theme productivity This vital productivity in the marketing of TV and stereo Is apparent at all levels from drawing board to delivery to the home Most surprising are Canadian speakers with improved quality costing much less
