Montana merchants offer deep cuts as prices lag prewar levels
W A Selvidge of the Montana Development association warns Montana shoppers that surpluses are being moved at replacement prices or less, with dollars buying goods once worth 1.25. He notes widespread cut prices across sectors, the need for buyers to act now, and that wage trends and wartime inflation complicate a return to prewar costs. He stresses merchants’ role in financing farmers and the peak of cheap goods may pass.
