Here every yard of goods passes over frame
in full sunlight and any fault that may exist, as
! picks, holes, differences in shades, defects OF
color Or weave. are noted by the expert eye of
the trained examiner. Should faults exist the
| goods are at once returned to the makers, for
| under no circumstances are any imperfect goods
workedup.
After thorough examination the goods are
| sent to the SpOnging room, where, on machines
of the latest improved patterns, they receive

nently rendering any future shrinhage abso-

Are the goods now ready to be cut into:''
Yes, but before there must have been pre-

and in color, the trimmer steps in with a selec-

! therefrom. The original patterns are kept in n
fire proof vault, that in case of any accident

! renlared and the work go on with but few
minutes interruption. The patterns are made
up new twice every year.

We'll, you see We are not making 'hand-me-

quality OF the goods. If we were to make them
OF loud cOlors, the quality might be passed by.
As it is, the absolute tnenes5 AID richness ofthe
material challenges inspection; and that Is half
the sale. Now in ordinary reGdy-made clothing
work there are three cOlOrs OF lining used for
each class OF goods, irrespective Of whether they
go well with the body fabric or not: they are

Us Is in fact Ill better taste throughout than can
be had from nine custom t2ilorS out of ten, be
cause none of these custom tailors can have all
their Innings, facingS, buttons and other trim
milgs made especially TO match the clota
with which they are used. Further, no custom
tailor, however important, can afford TO carry
such an immense variety as we are compelled
to do by reason Of our tacit agreement to sell no
