Freight rates have played a very small part

Now the freight charge is 22 cents

Tho cost of the suit has increased 20 dollars.
The freight on it has increased only cents.
Other transportation charges enter into the
cost of the finished article —carrying the wool
to the mills and the cloth to the tailors —but
these other charges amount to but a few cents
more.
The $lO pair of shoes that used to
