The silk trade probably never better than il

course there are always those who talk OF the good
old times when money plentiful, but, al
though manufacturers get great deal less to-day
Tor their product than they did years ago. their
facility for turning out more material for the
expenditure IS greater. Mr. Lambert says that fifty
years ago his concern used about fifty pounds OF
SILK week whereas to-day II uses six thousand
pounds week. The benefit of the development in
the trade goes 10 the consumer. The consumer now

II is generally asserted that It takes a great deal
more money to start up in business nowadays In
Paterson than 1t formerly did. but experience of
the last few years in the silk industry proves that
this is not true. cf the young men who
have ventured forth for themselves have had no
more capital than their predecessors. This can be

to do with the fact that the trust promoter has
dismally failed in his schemes TO form combinations
