The All-Important
Question of Price.

L"'VERY business man knows how
the war has affected the manu-
facturer. Our labour costs have ad-
vanced 20°/o) and the price of some
material has doubled. In the cir-
cumstances N.C.S. instruments can-
hot be supplied much longer at the
old prices, and we do not consider it
necessary to ask the indulgence of our
clients when we find ourselves com-
pelled to announce a general increase.
