Bakers, Grocers Charging Too Much, Dec. 14, 1920

Do you think the good old days will ever return when we can buy a full pint of peanuts for a nickel, or a standard loaf of bread for a dime? When we go to the bakery and buy a loaf of bread, which weighs only a few ounces, and are asked to shell out from 15 to 20 cents, we feel like the bakers are in the same class that some merchants were, up until a recent date, who had failed to read the papers and be advised that the war prices were no longer in order. We feel that the time has come for the bakers to reduce their prices just as everybody else is having to do, and we hope they will do this at once without pressure from the public.
