Cotton shortage, domestic wage increases and tax increases, foreign tariffs and taxes it all adds up to higher prices at the wholesale level and then there are the costs for the local business to stay afloat. What goes around comes around and as we expect higher wages itn will be reflected in higher costs for the goods we want. I stick with buying warm company products as they are a local company here in the nw. I like helping keep the neighbors employed to keep my faamily warm.
