PRICE DISCRIMINATION

Sut,—I want a Thermos. These I am told are in short supply, and, not being an agricultural labourer, I cannot have one. This seems fair enough. But, if I will buy a basket, four cups and saucers and a flask for milk, I may have two Thermoses (or Thermoi?) in spite of the shortage, price £2 los. Is this designed to help the agricultural labourer or the

wealthy?—Yours faithfully, E. MOBERLY BELL. 7 Mallord Street, Chelsea, S.W.3.
