We were advised by men higher up in the Hosiery business to stock up--stock up heavily--stock up with a three-years supply--and we did--,-Who.benefits ? You and Ourselves--we both benefit. You get good goods at far less than present market value. We get increased business through giving these values and truly the slogan Vickers sells for Less" holds good when applied to your Hosiery Needs, either for Women, .Men or Children. BUYA STOCKINGS AT VICKERS-A--Pay less and get more for your money than at any other Store in this district. We advise the buyingof at least eighteen months supply of these items as stocks are showing signs of an early depletion. Under any circumstances values will not be as good for 3 yrs. to come.

Then in the case of the Retailer his added cost of handling through increased taxes, shorter terms of purchase, less discounts,` increased price of Paper, Twine, heating of his premises, etc. etc. Cotton Yarns show an increase price over I9 I 4 of I 70 per cent. Cotton Threads show an increase in price over I9 I 4 of I05 per cent. Wool and Worsted Yarns show an increase in price over I9 I 4 of I00 per cent. Artificial Silk shows an increase in price over I9 I 4 of 75 per cent. Pure Silk shows an increase in price over I 9 I 4 of 65 per cent. Another factor Ieading to increased prices is the decreased production; Adding about 30 per cent to overhead expense to the Manufacturer. . Needles, that have to be constantly replaced for the Machinery, also have in- I creased 300 per cent. , _ I Dyes have advanced from I00 to 400 per cent. Cardboard for boxing has increased 200 per cent. Paper also has gone up I00 per cent. Skilled labor demands another `Z0_per cent forthe`maI If you wear Stockings and have a need, , this may be of interest to you: Since the stupendous struggle in Europe y.\ began in August 1914 Manufacturers of Hosiery have been forced to In- crease the price of their products and consequently Retail- ers have had to ask correspondingly increased prices, until now the consumer has to pay more for Stockings than for many years past.
