MINOR INDUSTRIES.

Two illustrations may show how
American enterprise is eating into our
minor trades For many years every
visitor 70 New York remarked on the
smarter appearance Of even the poorer
women there over their English sisters.
This was largely due 10 the superior
clt OF the cheap American blousos.
Three years ago some firms in the East
ern states obtained q few orders for
these from English drapery houses. The
shirt waists met with so great a well
come that the following year fairly
large orders were placed
These orders We're found all too small,
and last year the greater part Of the
English ready-made shlrt-walst trade

Notwithstanding the fact that the
American manufacturers would not

This year the leading American shoe

Many Of them have opened their own

Why Is this? Something Is undoubt-

boots are finer and more stylish than
the English makes Of a corresponding
price Hut this Is not the whole truth,
and English makers are so improving
their output that this would soon De

quite open about their advantage, They
