$1,000.
The SIS suit win cost me, to make up, $40 81,
which will leave me ONLY profit of s. u, out
o. which TO pay for the cutting, rent. etc. The
journeymen tailors get for making this SIS suit
81 20. Will any reasonable person fail to see
that the tailors make more out of such suit
than the.frm and the profit is so small that it
Is only the number OF sub suits made that en-
ables the business to be kept up and main
tanned. Can any reasonable man see wherein
the grievance of which these ta'lors complain
lies? Would these tailors have me pay si4 for
the making of such suit by Union men, who
would make no better job than the man who
makes it for So? For fine coats of the high
priced suits my tailors receive as high as S14
which is about the same as the schedule of
Union prices. Are men who make such ride
ulous fight against firm which is the greatest
benefactor TO the community worthy of the
sympathy they ask of the public, which they
are endeavoring to deceive by the grossest
falsehoods and misrepresentation and which
they would force, If they could, into the ne
cessity OF either laying small fortune for a
suit of clothes or else buying suit made by
Chinese or other cheap labor? Is there any
thing more absurd than their claims or is any
thing more profound than the cheek they as
sumo IN begging the people not TO patroniZe
Joe Poheim, in order that the high priced
iailors and Chinese and cheap Eastern manu-
facturers may be benefited? The yillainous
statements made by these tailors are too numer-
GUS to refer 10 them all, but there il lust one
more which do not wish 10 pass over in silence
They claim all my work is made up in factories
in san Francisco. | have been in business a
great many years, and have worked hard and
employed my best ability to make my tailoring
establshmeI as complete as it could be- have
succeeded well, and have at the present time
eight tailoring stores in California,
well stocked, well finished and well eauipped
Each store is a credit to the town in which it is
located, and substantial benefit to its sur
rouudings. have not yet completed my work
of equipment for the most efficient method of
making up the clothing there is vet one point
in the machinery of my establishment lacking
and that is the factory which these ill-adyised
people say possess To control such q factory
of from ,000 TO 200 skillful mechanics in the
manufacture o. custom made clothing has been
the amb ton OF my life, and ii is project which
yet hope to accomplish. | am sorry, there
fore, that l am forced to disavow the credit
which these people in their uninteutional good
ness want to attach to me- for the present of
least but trust the time will come when will
control just such a factory, and do not think
that ! shall feel ashamed of such enterprise
even II It should prove distasteiul tn few itin-
| Grant tailors-the would-be economists of Sacra
mento. shall continue in the same progressive
course which marked out for myself long ago
and give TO every one of my customers the very
best possible value for their money. The spirit
| of square and hone st dealing which has always
characterized my business viii be fostered and
serupulously observed; the public will receive
the same courteous consideration and attention
which they are accustomed to receive from the
| employees of my firm, which are compos ed of the
| b. st men that can be obtained ask for no
| succeeded during my many long bus
| mess years in establi.hing a reputation
| for myself personally, and for my house. which
am not afraid can be effec lively sssai'ed by
| few men who are setuated by the most sinister
| motives, which the public will not appreciate.
In conclusion, characterize the article in the
Bee as o tissue of fasehoods, from first TO last
the handlwork of men who are opposed to the
elevation OF the merchant tailoring business
and its .well-dessrved popularity among the
| middle classes of our people, TO whom respect
/ FULLY submit the arguments herein set forth
! The attention of the pubic is respectfully in.
yited TO the following: / shall take particular
| pains to furnish the public of Sacramento with
| the latest styles OF wooens, and make a special
| reduction sale for the next sixty days, regard
| less of cost. JOE Pos Elm, The Tailor
