Prices Of Wooden Articles
' Sir, —What justification is ’ there for the prices charged here for the most rudimenti ary specimens of woodwork, > often crudely finished—small , tables, folding steps, letter- ■ boxes, children’s toys and so forth? One sees £l, and more, being asked for half a dozen small pieces of very ordinary wood nailed toi gether—not even screwed — to form a letter-box; and un1 painted at that. As value for > money these articles make i about as much sense as the , sort of things of their kind one > used to see in shops in Engj land during and after the ’ war; but at any rate there , was some excuse for it then. J —Yours, etc., ILAM. ; April 5, 1062.
