Carnesville’s Board of Trade.
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.
