catch up with the endless list of orders something they are seldom able to do mr ratcliff was one of the first to come out against the 0 and 1000 price being asked in some parts of the province he set a peg of 1 which the long list of ratcliff patrons appreciated no local dealers have advanced over 150 a gallon so that patrons who have not had syrup in the last two years felt it was an opportunity to lay in some at what appeared a reasonable price the run last sunday was enor mous and farmers had to go out and empty the buckets when they found them running over at the sam fretz bush where no

ago and recently six cents fewer will be sold and streets will be that much cleaner with fewer wrappings littered about this is only wishful thinking we are told since one suggests there would be just as many sold if the price rose to 10 cents when john public today can get his hands on the money a few cents never stops him from spend ing it on anything he wants wise or otherwise anyway chocolate bars will be eight cents and they are still scarce if children could be stopped from eating eight cent bars for six months the price would soon be down and the supply in abundance lots of lumber
