"A woman went into a chop the other day," said Mr MacGregor "and saw a costume that she thought she would like. On inquiring th e price she was told £36s She was taken' aback at this, and made further inquiries. Later another employee came to her and told her she could have the costume for £17. Still not satisfied, the woman threatened ito inform th c Board of Trade of the Jirice, and the result was. that she obtained the article she desired for i£9!" "She was a successful buyer." remarked His Honour, Mr Justice Edwards.
