The reasons why Papenbrock, Jarchow 4
Co., AL Main street, can undersell their
competitors are many. Cheap rent, cheap
labor, small personal expense, immense
sales. They manufacture their ladies' un-
derwear and children's dresses for their re-
tail department themselves. 1t takes over
fifty machines and sixty-five employees, and
still they are behind in orders. In gents
white shirts they claim to have no compe-
