THE PRICE OF BREAD
(To the Editor " N.Z. Times.") Sir, —Whilst casually looking over papers in the reading room of the local ■library I came across an advertisement in the Wanganui paper of a bread and biscuit company who advertised bread 3d a 21b loaf ordinary price delivered, whilst there is a reduction of id per loaf if coupons are bought. Oan you ■cause inquiries to be made and publish same as to why bread is 3;d per loaf in Wellington, whether coupons or bought or not, or more for booking? i—l am, etc., INQUIRER. [Mr-H. F. Allen, secretary to the Wellington Master Bakers’ Association, informed a “New Zealand Times” representative that the master bakers (both in Wanganui and Palmerston North wero unorganised. They had cancelled registration as an association, the result being that “cutting” had come into vogue. He attributed the price named in the letter to this system of trading.]
