Louis C. Nasi
Manager of Burgess-Nash
Store Says Closing of Fac
tories May Cause Shortage
and Boost In Prices.
Uncertainty of merchandise con
ditions is emphasized by Louis C.
Nash, of the Burgess-Nash store,
who just returned from a meeting"
of the National Retail association
in New York.
"In many cases merchandise is
now being sold at prices below the
cost of production," said Mr. Nash.
"This may result in the closing
down pf niijls and factories and the
consequent shortage and price ad
vance of materials.
"There has not been the decline in
prices which the public has been led
i believe. There has been a de-
rline. however, and-the biflf reduction
sale of the Burgess-Nash store last
spring cleaned the shelves to an
extent which has enabled the store
to -take advantage of this decline
unH tn hnv nnantities of mer
chandise at prevailing prices". .
