What Is The Clothing Situation?

pountls.
When the I'niteil States enteretl the war last
April the price of wool shot upward because it
could clearly he seen that military requirements
were far in excess of the wool supply. At that
lime the woolen mills were making civilian fab-
rics. What happened?
Nearly every available loom stopped inaUini?
civilian cloth and went to work on military
cloth. Since then there has been only a small
percentage of the normal production of civilian
fabrics. Those made up have been manufac-
tured with the wool market at 7;"c per pound
against the normal price of IMic per pound.
Clothes are higher but. to one "h understands
ronilitions it is surprisim: that they are net
hinder still.
.Thai is the situation. How then are you to be
sure of getting the greatest possible value when
you buy clothing'.'
We say "buy clothes bearing nationally known
trademarks" becaiiM" ilie.se clothes have reputa-
tions to mainiaiit
Then' are two kinds of manufacturers as well
as two kinds of merchants. One works for the
present lie does not put his name on his mer-
chandise and is interested only in profits--the
more the better. He profiteers if lie can. be-
cause he is "tinner cover."
The other kind of manufacturer and merchant
works for the future. He puts his trademark on
his clothes because he wants to make a perman-
ent customer of every man who wears them.
He does eerything in his power to turn out an
exceptional quality at the price so that his trade-
mark will lie the symbol of quality and economy.
The big manufacturers of nationally known
clothing have used their extensive capital and
resources to protect their customers against
every possible increase in cost.
This called for great investments in woolens
in the early markets - demanded heightened
efficiency of manufacture required the bring-
ing of all costs in business operations to a min-
imum percentage.
To maintain the reputation of their merchan-
dise and to give the wearer the utmost possible
so as to increase the reputation of their trade-
marks. Here you see the benefits that the nationally
known trademarks bestow on the public. These
trademarks stand for style and the greatest
value it is possible to give under any set of con-
ditions. We are the exclusive local hea'dquarters for
these manufacturers:
