PRICE-FIXING.
TO THE EDITOR.
Sir, —“Householder” talks sense when he says surely those who are prepared to pay cash should get their goods cheaper than the people who take credit. Surely. .no Government will listen to tales and efforts on the part of exploiters who simply want to keep prices of their lines up by fixing prices for sale to the public. If one shopkeeper, by a newer or better system, can handle goods more cheaply and so give tho public the benefit, then surely he is entitled to sell at the price he likes, so long as he can make a living out of it. Is it just that I or my wife, if we want C.’s Backache Remedy or D's Jellies, should have to pay the same as the people who want them on credit when we are prepared to go for them and to carry them home? New Zealand is called a free country, but it will soon lose its name for freedom if exploiters are allowed to form into a big trust to prevent fair dealing with the public.—l am, etc., Cash Bn yet; November 12.
