ONE TRADE BUSY.
Nor. closh.. msnd,ns b, Tailor. On

More Clothes MendinS by Tailors One
of tho Results of Dull Times.
my trade has been bigger and bet
ter In the last two dull years than ever
1t was BEFORE" said Columbus avenue
tailor who follows the useful business
of mending mems clothes. to New
York Sun reporter. Look at the piles of
garments upon these shelves awaiting
my needle. never knew of such a
rush at any other time since became
a boss in the tailor's trade as that for
two years. I have had, and yet have,
to give out Jobs enough to keep ten
men and women at work. People come
In here with coats and trousers and
vests who never used to do 1t, and
hardly ever had any mending done, or
ever thought Of a patch. They have
been getting out their old stock to be
fixed up on account Of the hard times.
Some Of them, who would not be seen
In here, send around their garments
by a messenger boy or a servant, and I
can turn out some things so as to be
better than they were when new. No,
l would not give you the names of my
customers. but can tell you that some
of them pass for rich. That summer
suit belongs to man who Is believed
to be millionaire, and he has worn 1t
for two seasons, and when I send 1t
back to him, he can wear It for two
more. Some men whom you'd never
suspect of being hard up must be down
on their stumps. or perhaps they are
practicing economy without any need
for 1t.
Lots of New Yorkers are mighty
foolish about their clothes. They will
throw away coat or a pair Of trous-
ers when they are not half worn out
Another thing, new clothes are cheap
nowadays. but 1t Is fact that they
are not SO cheap as last years when
you can get them mended and cleaned
for dollar or two. Nearly all the
merchants In my line are busy. and we
have had good times all through the
bad years. The extravagant and waste
full people have had q useful lesson"

JUST ONE MINUTE PLEASE.
A Talk With Subscribers Who Haye
Not Paid in Advance. y


Not Paid in Advance. =
Your subscription is in arrears from
the date shown on the pink address slip.
Ever since that date we have been pay
ing out cash every week for paper, ink
and labor that you might receive tho pa
per regularly and promptly. The Enter
prise pays particular attention to home
news; it prints nothing unclean, not even
an advertisement that is an insult to the
home circle. It's aim is to furnish the
local news and help advance the best
interests of the Rocky Ford country.
1--WE are thankful for the appreciation
shown by the steady growth of our sub
scription list, but have word to those
who have not for one, two or moro years
contributed one cent toward paying the
expenses Of getting out tho paper. This
is not a fair deal. During the past few
months we have not urged the payment
of subscriptions, but now that harvest is
over we must insist on money. 1t is
necessary that we make a nearer ap-
proach to cash basis. The amounts
due the office are small and by n little
effort can be met. We do not want to
mark off a single name for failure to pay
arrearages, but such a course may be
necessary. We hope that this fair state
ment OF the situation will cause our SUBJ
scribers to see that the dates on their ad-
dress slips are advanced to some time in
the future.
