Little advantage is foreseen for the customer, even then, as prices are expected to advance to levels comparable with those of today and possibly higher.

Many who want flatware, however, are delaying purchase in the slim hope that they will stand to save money when the tax Is removed. Jewelery prices have advanced I very little since the first two years of the war. The Imposition of the luxury tax dealt Jewelers a severe blow and they endeavoured, to save customers from further expense by absorbing price increases granted the wholesalers.
