[” J j I V * H SMALL businessmen in the home Townr of the country are in a - quandry about the coming price rises on merchandise. Shall they pass it on to the consumers, or try to absorb at least part of it. . Already hard hit by high cost of living prices, rural merchants have felt the pinch of slow pay ments, and difficulty in obtaining - capital in short term loans even at increased interest rates. In the larger cities, merchants, not too close to, or on a first name basis with their customers, can pass along price increases without too much difficulty. But it’s different in the small towns, where cost spreads are less and where mer chants know their customers. Cost rises particularly affect those mer chants in the furniture business. People can usually do without new furniture for a while. Cloth ing, too will be hard hit by new price boosts expected by Spring,, and people don’t usually buy cloth ing on the installment plan. Factory; price increases in hard goods are up as much as 8 to 10% already and with new steel price . boosts expected, may go higher. But hard goods, such as applian-‘ ces, iinplementy-'STyi the like are ' sold generally on the installment , plan and increases "are not too - hard to pass .along. The trouble I is that consumers are already pretty well extended, insofar as.in stallment buying is concerned, and must pay off some delfts be fore they can start hew install ment purchases., In farm implements, for ex ample, costs age already sky high. Strikes and labor price increases have brought it about, along with California Oranges A Holiday Tradition iff JgSSggy .■■, JgV? ■+ - JBifi® •&&' * ,- ffl n wg» x ilSflKraSf 7-.- , 'jg HH ■& ™ iHfe- MraX , T » » I There was a time that a big California orange in the toe of a Christmas stocking was a rare treat reserved for special occasions ■uch as Christmas. Although oranges still are flavor treats, they •re available everywhere, every week of the year. The large Cali fornia oranges in the markets this time of the year are called naveU. You can tell them by the navel formation at the blossom end and their bright natural golden color. Best of all, they are seedless and easy to peel, so are “naturals” for eating whole. Whether you’re in the process of wrapping gifts or having a family get-together for the holidays, a tray of Peppermint Stick Oranges makes a welcome sight. Just cut a small hole in the top or each orange and insert a peppermint stick. Tuck a couple of holly leaves on the side and you have a most impressive holiday •nacK. bach person can pull off the peeling, pull apart the sections •nd devour the orange with great relish. Name N.

He gave numerous demonstra tions at home, locally and county.

The mar gin now is so close, most farm implement dealers would have no choice but to boost prices, mar gins are too small as of now. In the soft goods stores, many merchants are absorbing price boosts on some items, passing them along on others. To date price increases have net been too high, three to five per cent. But more are expected. Shoe pri ces are up as high as 10%. Many economists hold to the theory that the consumers are resigned to continual higher pri ces on most everything they buy, that they will continue to pay them. Others predict that soon the limit will hit and then will come a buyers strike. Others pre dict that one result may be shod dy goods, or cheaper goods at present high prices. Manufactur ers will find ways to cheapen .their wares. Make a change on an appli ance, take a doodad off a dress, use cheaper grade metal instead of chrome or stainless; charge fop services formerly given (rer.% These price boosts are coming at a time when inventories all along the line are the highest in [history from factories, to whole- ' ; salers to retail shelves; some merchants, however, particularly the smaller one with low capital ' are already buying from hand to ' mouth, so to speak. attempting to hold down inventories, buying fewer brands, running the chance that it will not hurt him competi-""" tively. These who will be hurt the most, howevaf* eventually wil> be the smaller mere:.: nts who' cannct stand the competition.
