WHAT BUSINESS MEN SAY.

VIcToR z. ADLER: "On October 25 next. ten
years ago, began business in my present To-
cation. My competitors did not hesitate to
consign me 10 commercial grave, but by
sticking closely 10 the one ruling principle
that has always, and still does, govern all my
business dealings, TO gain the confidence of
my patrons by giving them reliable clothing
and always their moneys WORTH am, as
you see, still here. If you'll give me about
two weeks Of cool. nipping weather, I'll DEM
onstrate that there's still considerable of
youthful vigor in my make up and that I'll
give EN- all q tussle.''
WHEELER WILSON SEWING MACHINE
Company, No. 437 Ninth street northwest:
There viii be no new styles in sewing ma
chimes this fall Those now in use have given,
we might say, uniform satisfaction. and the
Wheeler d Wilson Company at least has seen
no necessity for bringing out any new de-
signs"
W. T. oFTERDINeER, ToBAocoSIsT, No. sos
Ninth street northwest 1.-The delay in the
passage OF the tariff bill caused delay with
importers IN getting novelties in our line from
abroad, and thus far none have been shown by
drummers who have visited Washington. We
may expect, however, to see lots OF new things
in the course Of a month
NJ STRICKLAND, No. 931 PENNSYLVANIA
avenue northwest, manager for Burt & Pack
ard shoe house: "The desire seems now TO be
for black leather shoes; the demand for rus
sets is on the decline. The 'blucher cut is
out Of date. Patent feathers have lost none
Of their popularity. The styles for young men
are in medium and pointed toes, the lasts be-
ing made with view to greater comfort, and
admits of points being worn with more ease
10 the foot, and they are quite popular For
men of middle age and those who walk great
deal the medium full toe without tip is worn
great deal, and is a style very common in
New York. A very pretty dress shoe, and one,
that is gaining in popular favor, is patent
leather button shoe, pointed at the toe and
wide across the ball OF the foot. We have a
new 'wrinkle'-a cork and rubber filing be-
tween the outsoIe and insole, which acts as a
cushion for the foot. keeps out moisture, and
prevents squeaking."

on account OF the reduction of the tariff, and
this will also hold true in regard to millinery
in general
S. d. BUNCH, DRY GooDs MERCHANT: THE
| fall trade is beginning to come In, and there
will be good business for all notion and dry
goods houses in the fall. The new tariff will
have no effect on the prices of wooden goods,
and the ladies will be able to do shopping
upon as cheap basis as under the former
tariff law. The darker shades of cloth will
probably be the prevailing colors; cloth
gloves take the place of kid
MRs. HARRISON, IMPORTER OF MILLINERY,
! 1927 G street northwest: 81 have just come
back to the city from vacation and moved
in here. The new styles for fall wear are not
yet known. l am going to New York on

GEORGE ". .REYBoLD, Nos. 800 AND 911 PENN
/ sylvania avenue southeast: ''New goods will
come in from abroad about October l. Some
will be considerable cheaper on account OF
the reduction in the tariff This is especially
true of china in my line. There will be no
marked difference in tinware or toys, the
changes in the tariff not being enough to
show in prices. But there will be much heav-
ier importations than usual"
J. W. BROOKE, No. 629 PENNSYLVANIA
avenue northwest: 1.-The half-oval, square
| top derby, for an extreme novelty is the lat
est thing out, and think will be popular 1t
will doubtless stand at the head of the list as
dressy derby. The narrow, straight Teck
is leading the fashions in scarfs, but the most
pronounced novelty in neckwear. l think
will be the Club House tie. Colored goods
10 shirts will prevail to a greater extent than
usual this season. In underwear the fleece
