A GIGANTIC BUSINESS.
The Ready Made Clothing Trade In
the United States.

Not many people outside the trade here
have any idea OF the vast amounts OF
business that is annually done in mems
ready-nade clothing in this country" said
a leading merchant in New York to
reporter recently. There are now In the
United States some 200 establishments
making such garments. These concerns
have capital OF sooa o,ooo. and employ
10000 persons. who receive about $4,000
go in wages every year. The amount OF
material used in the manufacture Of
ready-made clothing is valued at $lae.-
0oo.oo0 and the finished product is worth
500. oIo.olo per year. or this gigantic vol
ume of business New York has the lions
share there being, in this city alone
capital OF So, 0,Gao invested IN the trade.
There are TO establishments here, employ
ing 10000 persons, and these hands use
up $40 6n.1ua worth of material and turn
out a product valued at 81. 900. ooo
Within the past ten years there have
been great strides made with improved
labor-saving machinery. and the In
creased r. pidity with which the manu-
facturer is now able to work has com
blned TO cheaper the cost of production
and the selling price OF the finished
goods. A notable feature in the manu-
facture of ready made clothing of late
years is the fact that there Is a very large
increase in the quantity OF the very best
goods The tendency is every season to
make up only the better class OF goods
so that as matter of fact any man OF
ordinary size may be fitted out with ready
made clothing OF the latest patterns aud
best quality OF goods, cut in the highest
style OF fashion. Only the very best de-
signers and cutters of clothes are now
adays employed by the large ready made
clothing establishments. They get saia-
ries that would be the envy OF many pro-
fessionai men. 1t IS an ordinary thing
for the designer who cuts the paper pat
terms for a large wholesale clothing house
to get &5,po year salary. There are
several in New York who get about 8. 90
salary. They do not cut cloth. They cut
paper patterns. and from these paper pat
terms others are cut for the workmen to
cut cloth by.
THE ready made clothing trade is d.
vided into many departments. Some firms
make speciality of overcoats. others OF
trousers. others of children's clothing.
others OF uniforms and ityeries. Some
OF the large retail stores do their own
manufacturing and get OF their surplus
stock at wholesale. In this way they
keep their retail counters stocked with
the freshest patterns and latest styles
Immense quantities ot ready-made cloth
ing are shipped from New York to the
South and West, and the peeuliarities OF
each market are provided for. At present
is TO repress loud styles and giaring col
ors and 10 increase the use OF genteei
shades. Washington Evening star.
