WHERE LARGE PROFITS ARE
MADE

Jokes about dressmakers' bills have
been threshed out by the comic journals
time out of mind, but recent report of
profits made in the English newspapers
by a well-known Paris establishment,
one though by no means among the most
famous, would seem in it's Alanschar pro-
portions to justify them ali. To be sure,
it is report to shareholders, and it's
publication is in the nature of an adver-
tisement, but the figures given are as
tonishing. The concern started modest
ly in Paris ten years ago. and the profits
of the first year were So. 100; they jumped
in the following four years to the follow
ing figures: $4,000, $4,000, s164 900, 1894 900.
1t was then thought best to turn the es-
adjustment into a stock company, with
limited liability, capitalized at $500, 600.
The profits of the company for the last
four years were s264.0OO, $4,000, 1872, 200
and $413, 900; that is to say, s1,S00,000 net
profits, or more than half the amount OF
the nominal capital in four years. One
cause for the amount of business is,
perhaps, the practice of giving credit to
customers, the books showing an indebt-
edness to the company of sS7S.0O0. There
Is no doubt that the business is profit
able, and the bills proportionately high

lawyer, and even then such extra
payments can be rescinded by the rul-
