THE Tailor Makes the Man"

Since the tailor makes the man, IL must
be evident to the most easy going mind
that the best tailor makes the best man
This, Of course, must be taken with limit
ations. However, it is a fact admitted by
all, that as man must have clothing he
might as well have it TO fit him neatly and
made III becoRing style as to have It dis
guise him against all recognition by his
frieuds. "a it too frequently dues Far the
purpose then Of having their patrons praise
them because of their becoming appearance
and well-made garments, ClausS 4 Bro, the
popular merchant tailors. of Lehighton,
make point to give their customers per
lcct fits and garments well and ar.lstcally
made. Artist in clothing themselves. they
are satisfied only when their patrons are
satisfied, and their purpose is to come as
near perfection as can be. The stock of fal
and winter goods is very large, larger than
most merchant Tailoring establishments
carry, and much larger than can be found
in any Of the tailoring stores. and being
gentlemen OF taste the style Oi their goods il
prime consideration with them. In adj
dilion t0 their immense stock OF merchant
tailoring goods they have II full line Of boots,
shoes, hats. caps, and gentlemsn's furnish
ing goods. u which they invite the alten-
tion of Their patrons aud the public. Prices
fully as low as the same articles can be got
anywhere in the State.

The Anthracite Coal Trade.

Philadelphia Ledger, 9th inst: The an
thracie coal trade is without any especial
noteworthy feature, the output continuing
to full capacity and the demand good. Con-
sumers are generally laying in stocks for
winter and the operators are having as muc
business as they can do in furnishing sup
plies The orders from the eastward are in
excess of the ability to forward just at pres
ent, the supply Of vessels not being up to
the wants OF the trade. Large amounts of
coal are also going westward, and all the
coal companies are extending and imprev-
ing their western connections. The cleo
tion this week it is expected will interfere
somewhat with work at the nincs, but not
to any serious extent reduce the out.
Everything connected with the coal trade
is full of interest. Hence we pass from the
large field of production afforded by our
own country 10 the larger field of Great
Britain. In the United Kingdom the pro-
duction Of coal for the year 1871 was H.
352,02s tons, and for 1881 the total output
WAS l54, i S4 800, an increase Of 36,S32 ,272
tons. The following is a comparison of the
production Of coal in the respective coal
yielding districts in the two years 1874 and
1881, drawn from the official statements
of the mining inspectors:
