The tricycle cost £3 10s in Glasgow, freight and insurance to Gieborne was £5 17s 6d and charges at this end were £2 lis, making- the landed cost £ll 18s 6d for an article that cost £3 10s. Is It not time the tribunals commenced looking to the shipping companies to solve the problem of the high cost of living?"
