Nothing  is  more  uncertain  these

article  today,  is  liable  to change  with 
in  an  incredibly  short  time.  This  is 
true  in  practically  all  lines  of  mer 
chandise. 

Only  one thing  r e g a r d i ng  "price" 
is  reasonably  certain,  and 
is, 
that  whenever  a ny  change  comes  it 
is  sure  to  be  " u p w a r d ."
