Bond}-, manager), makes a price of $1.25 per thousand and offer 15 per cent discount on all orders over 10,000 pieces. It is interesting to note the way prices vary among distribu- tors. They range all the way from $1.25 to Ja so per thousand. Often yon will find two distributors in the same town with different prices, as, for instance, right here in Cincinnati, Steinbreuoer's rules at J1.50 for large contracts, while the Chapmans demand Jz. each, stoutly contending that their price is the right Of necessity, price must be based upon cost. No one will deny that it costs more to distribute the outskirts and suburbs of a city than it does the congested center. The houses are further apart; as a rule, they set back in a yard a considerable dis- tance from the sidewalk, and trips bach and forth to refill the sacks consume time and car fare. Yet distributors always want enough books or samples 10 include thest out-lying districts. Strange, is it not? Bnt strangest of all is the offer of the National people of Detroit, who offer a ; to advertisers in oriier to secure irk. They practically f r.~5 per thousand in the city proper, but if yon will include the suburbs We will do the whole thing forf 1.06 % per thousand." There is something wrong here, tut we Dr H.
