The general impression is that the ‘results were unsatisfactory and that no definite and construc- tive conclusions were reached. The whole subject needs further Ventilation and the housekeepers have an tiiieasy feeling that they are aying excessiw prices for the necc‘ssities of life. {3 c fact of the matter is that our whosz system of merchandis- ing is‘ unnecessarily complicated and wa'gteful. too many profits are collected on every article sold. The producer. the commission man. the wholesaler. the advertising agent and the retailer all have to make a profit out of the transactidn, with the consequence that the ultimate consumer who has to pay the hills is helpless, he is enmeshed in the toils of the system.§he is squeezed at every turn, he has to stand and deliver. t The modern chain stores are rapidly gestablishing themselves because they eliminate the middleman and reduce prices. the trouble with them is that they are used td make enormous profits for the capitalists who iinance them, and give a minimum of bene- iit to the consumer. ‘ The cumin}: system is codperation. The plan has been worked out abroad and is no longer an experimentt. It has proved a great success and commends itself to the good seinse of the people.

Highland Park as a place of residence offers advantageS’which the Well to do are quick to discover and make use of. with the result that people of small means find themselves unable to com- pete and maintain the same standards of living as in less fortunate and‘ desirable communities. Transporthtion charges from the city sources of supply increase costs in four local stores. but on ’he other hand they are offset by lower itental values. There is a general feeling that prices in Highland Park should not be appreciably higher than in (‘hicaso Evanstoq or Wauke- gan, and people are asking why it is.

During the war the prices of commodities soared to unheard of heights; this was to be‘expected and people paid the prices with good grace as an incident of the abnormal times, although they had a conviction that pmfiteering wtas rampant. But since the return of peace time conditions, while wholesale vaiues have sharply declined retail prices have been; slow to fol- 10 ‘. .g The situation is a peculiar one. The war tremendously speed- ed up production, with the result that markets were: overstocked and in consequence the demand was m'et‘supplied, and manufac- turers have curtailed their output and i ‘ many cases: have closed their factories Unemployment is beco ing alarmingly general and yet labor as a rule is unwilling to accept reduced wages. Build- ing is held up by excessive costs and uncertain labor conditions and the housing problem is daily becoming more acute, while landlords continue to advance rents. 3 013} year NUMBER Entered as second class matter March 1 {(1911 Brothers F iorence Warner The Highlanh Park Pres's Mashed weeklfir '3; JOHNML.
