The answers summarized are as follows (1) It is cheaper._t2) There is a better choice <3) Th¢r@1S H "R102" anions certain Charlotte- town merchants to eliminate competition and keep up prices. The Guardian put the answers to the test with the following results: (1) A selection ot goods for ordinary family purposes was E ma e from a foreign Mail order catalogue, and an attempt made to price and purchase these in Charlottetown With one exception every article was procured as_ cheaply in Charlotte- town and in a good few instances more cheaply _ than the Mari listed price The only exception A was procured in Sunnnerside and was also cheaper than the foreign mail order price. _ On this single order _which_t_otaiied $37.00, _Li per cent was saved in addition to the cost ~ _ of money order, and the goods were equal and in one instance superior in quality to the im- - ported articles. _(2) There is _no more choice in a fore” n , catalogue than in a home store, There maylbe greater variety of advertised articles, but the nptodate store meets the demand for choice ` every day in the week although the variety has not been so attractively or extensively _ advertised. _ A (3) The Guardian found no proof of a “ring” ‘ to boost prices, Any way no firm advertilixj in ltlhe Guardian is a party to such a suici D0 CY- t _Patronize Charlottetown Guardian adver- - tisers and you will avoid any "ring", encourage » _ competition, encourage home industries and _ _ save money. .
