Nearly every day for the

has presented a busy scene re-
gardless of the many rainy days
we have had in the meantime.
While other houses have com
planned of dull sales we have
been writing and telegraphing
the manufacturers and i'm.
porters of our Coats to send
them faster, Notwithstanding
their shipments to US have
averaged over fourteen per day
for the last three weeks. AS
late as this week they wrote US
that we were asking impossi-
bilities of them, as they could
not ship them to US faster and
do justice to others. We want
