Two Pointed &suestf0ns Answered.

What is the use of making better ar ticle than your competitor if you can not get better price for it?
 Ans.-As there is no difference in the price the public will buy only the bet ter, so thAt while our profits may be smaller on single sale they will be much greater ip the aggregate.
 How can you get the public to know your make is the best.
 If both articles are brought promi- nently before the public both are cer- tain to be tried and the public will very quickly pass judgement on them and use only the better one.

HALF MILLION sP1NDLEs IDLE

Fall River, Mass. May 2l.-More than
half million spindles will be idle in this
city next week, caused by the shut down
OF the Merchants, Sycamore No. /, Ame-
rican Linen and the Fall River Iron
Works mills. Managers who have been
advocating shut down for some time are
growing uneasy at the gloomy outlook
in the print cloth market. The easy
money market which prevails now is a
primary CAUSE in keeping number of
manufacturers running.
At least four, and unless all New
England curtails production, probably an
increased number Of manufacturers will
not lessen the output during the summer
months as they harbor hope that the
general prosperity of the country will
surely be reflected shortly in the cotton
goods market. Some mills are accepting
limited contracts at figures netting little
or no profit, but which enables them to
meet the pay roll,
Within the past year or more, the mill
managers have learned valuable lessons
in economy through force OF necessity and
they say it requires economy of the
strictest sort to keep their employees at
work under present conditions.
