Dingley tariff raises prices as of July 24
The new Dingley tariff took effect Saturday July 24 and boosted wholesale prices on many items. Clothing fabrics rose about ten percent, causing dealers who ordered stock after July 24 to pay more than those who bought before. Some merchants foresaw the rise but could not avoid it due to capital limits or existing summer stock. A retailer notes aggressive buying prior to the tariff and offers sample items at new prices, asserting value at eight dollars and fifty cents for a fancy basket-woven worsted suit, contrasting with rivals claiming losses. The note also includes ads for DeWitt’s Little Early Risers and a brief report on a cable train robbery in Kansas City.
