A woman in Christchurch, who was a regular customer of an appleseller who visits one of the suburbs, found to her amazement the other day, that while she paid 2s a bucket for the apples she bought, a nextdoor neighbour got the same quantity and quality for Is 6d, and a woman over the road had to pay 2s 3d. She taxed the boy who brought the apples with this. After a lot of denials he admitted it. “ It’s the boss’ idea,” he said. “He says there’s three classes, the aristocracy, the middle classes, and the poor. They pay three diiferent prices.”
