clothing has not
a peer

I'm all the wide world. No
clothing can be found with
any more care in the making
and no other kind contains so
much tailoring elegance. The
best and most experienced
talent known to the sartorial
art is employed in our work
rooms-busy at work evolving
the best clothing that can be
produced. And right here we
want to lay especial stress
upon the fact that every stitch
of clothing we sell is made in
our workrooms-a point we'll
worth your careful considera-
ton when you remember that
most of the clothing you see
elsewhere is made Id New
York ''sweat shops" and
fairly thrown together. We
don't claim to make all the
good clothing worn IN Wash
ington-but we have almost a
monopoly.

DA1R4MEN FIND FAULT.
Object TO Mr. Miiler's Criticisms
Relative 10 MIX Bottles.


The dairyInen of the city are inclined
to feel a ggrieved over the impression, which
many people have obtained from the stand
of Mr. Miller, seaIer of weights and
measures, with regard To the milk bottles
that arc left at Customers doors by the
daries They state that Mr.. Miller has
allowed the idea TO get out that they are
Intentionally using short bottles, and de
fraadng the;r customers.
Several of the dairymen called at the
office Of Sealer Miller yesterday and
con. plafred They said that greaS
in Justice had been done them, and that
while they now know that many Of the
bottles are a trifle short of the supposed
measure, many also are oversized. They
ssid that there has been NO intention -
defrand on an yone's part.
Mr. Miller said 10 a Times reporter
last nignt. Il have had no intention tn
accuse the dairymen of fraud, and such
statement should be made. The short
Sottles ate found by me eftener by far than
those 100 large, but this is probably caused
iii the mailing Of the bottles, where they
are very likely to contract.
What / have desired and what indeed
the dealers agree with me we should
have is standard measured bottle. That
