Why You Pay More for City Goods at the Country Store
Roy B. Simpson argues that city department stores incur higher costs from building, fixtures, clerks, heat, light, taxes, and interest, building a 20 to 35 percent overhead and 15 to 30 percent net profit. He contrasts with small town dealers who own buildings, incur lower costs, and seek 10 to 15 percent net, urging readers to support local merchants for better value.
