We insist that there is great, need of this organization for our merchants. We pointed out in our first issue some of the bad features that would certainly come up without organiza¬ tion. Our attention was called a few days ago to the fact that Gainesville bvogau shoes w ere selling as high as 51.75 per pair, and that iron foot plowstocks were as low as 75 cents each. These are extremes that good business will not allow. What does the customer who is not posted think when lie sees another merchant sell¬ ing the same plowstock for $1.00 ‘i He thinks the purchaser is getting swindled, but lie looks on awhile and sees the same man who eaid Sl.tlt) for the plowstock get the Gainesville shoe for 25 cents less than he did, and then he feels like he had been swindled.
