Our House Had RuiQed
THE PROFIT ON HATS.

! told Mr.. Hopkins that we always paid for our
goods, and belonging to us by virtue of such
purchase, we proposed to dispose of them for
what We deemed value; but we did not request
them to sell TO other house in Washington,
as we did not care what they did with their
goods, for we would see to il that we did not
get left when low prices were In question
Mr.. Hopkins said to me that as the terms
upon which we bought were practically "spot
cash." his firm claimed no right to dictate to
us at what prices we were to sell our goods.
"That," said he, "is your affair, and we will
sell you all the goods you want, notwith
standing the protest we have received"

Saks Sells Hats Too Cheap.

told Mr.. Dickerson we did not propose to
govern other hatters' prices, and that we
would not permit them to dictate ours. II
we chose to sell their hats, which cost $3.50
each for S2.75, that was our business. Mr..
Dickerson, In reply, said that all the hats his
firm had sold us this spring had been paid for,
and they were our property to do with as we
chose, and that they would ship us all we
would buy. He asked me II objected to
selling other hattcrs in Washington and l
told him to sell them all he could, all that we
should ask would be to be admitted on the
ground floor, and that we would take care Of
the rest. Again last evening l called on a
FRIEND who had for neghbor leading hat
manufacturer. My friend had previously, he
told me, asked his neighbor II he had sold
hats to Saks g. Company, and II not, why9
lie replied, 81 dare not. They sell hats too
close, and our trade In Washington objects to
having them handle our hats"

sending US bouquets, but 1t seems they had a

ture will tell.
