Bloch & Co.'S work better than raw recruit
could, and we lose no time and material break
ing in new hands all the time Then too, each
workman learns to co one thing perfectly and
rapidly, and this is better than having q man do
one kind of work one day and another kind each
day during the busy season.
Take it all in all, we are not so much philan-
thropiSts as you might think. We are business
men, not in trade for our health nor to reform
humanity. We see that by making certain ar
ticleS better than anyone else ever has made
them we can keep ahead OF the trade, and keep
on making them better than anyone else does or
will. Each man who wears one OF our garments
tells his neighbors how well satisfied he is, and
each workman is on the qui vlve to see that
every one about the place gives full days work
for his full day 5 pay.
| Most of those engaged in making up the cloth
ing are men, women being employed only as
operators on the machines and for the lighter
kinds of stitching. All look healthy, comfortable
and contented The accompanying sketches OF a

hours. -.
you seem to have rather q nice lot of girls?''
I'VE ought to have. Not only would We
promptly discharge any girl whom we thought
others, but we are careful about the men with
whom they are brought in contact. A man OF
drunken habits or immoral tendencies would
get his tcllet-Of-leave the moment we found
him out-so quick that his head would swim.
The consequence is that there is no time wasted
in business hours, and that careful mothers
have no hesitaucy in letting their daughters
work here. Thus by starting with a good grade
of employees we are constantly raising the stand
ard. We have the most intelligent and cOnsci-
entious employees in the trade.
vI.-THE DOLLARS AND SENSE OF IT.
The casual reader might think that because of
the care taken IN manufacturing the cost would
be excessively high, but this is not the case
Heavy cash purchases, immense and steady out
put willingness to be content with a small mar
gin ofprofit, thorough knowledge ofthe business,
systematic economy in every detail of manu-
facture, enables Stein, Bloch & Co. TO compete
with makers ofinferior goods. Their garments
are better moneys worth than any other and,
further, they always lead in style, as found II
looking over the matter thoroughly. Asking my
conductor about this point he replied as fol
lows.
NOVELTIES AND sPECIALTIES.
Our firm is essentially and specially nov
city house, constantly originating new styles,
some of which have become very popular in On
incredibly short space of time, and, OF course
have found their imperfect imitators. As an
example, take the case of the josef Hofmann
boys suit, so familiar to every lover of music
the country over; first, by reason of It's having
been worn by the musical prodigy, to whom 1t
was dedicated, and, second, by its having been
worn by so many bright and well-dressed boys
in every state of the union. The time has gone
by when boys trousers were built upon the re-
versible principle, so that he never knew
whether he was going to school or coming from
il; and, owing to the artistic productions of
this firm, no mother will now make the boys
trousers with straight legs, so that when the
knee is worn the legs can be cut of and turned
half way around to present new wearing sur
face. The mothers and the children themselves
are now more exacting than grown people.
1.-THE garments produced by us in quantities
are often purchased by merchant tailors and
sold as custom work. In proof that they are
cut and made upon 1.-THE custom work system,
the new label, recently adopted therefor, gives
the exact measures of the garments in every
particular. No mere wholesale clothieFs can do
this. because their garments are neither cut
uvon any such system nor put together by work
