Manufacturers Waiting to See
What Is Going to Happen.

What Is GOlng TO f1apPen.
The high price Of cotton has made many
persons look for an increase In the price!
Of collars and shirts. 1t was reported
yesterday that one shirt manufacturer
had announced that he would jump the
price of shirts 81 dozen pretty soon. Z
Several shirt manufacturers VINO were
seen by a Sun reporter said that they
didn't expect an increase In the price o.
shirts right away. The Representative OF
one of the biggest shirt making houses
"There will be no increase In the price
of shirts until the manufacturers get to-
gether and decide what to do. There has
been no talk of that SO far
II do not think that any one manu-
facturer would alone attempt to raise the
price of shirts. OF course, II he did. and
the others held off. he would be In nice
II think now that most OF the manufac-
turers have everything on hand they have
contracted for. That means that the pres

much. The manufacturers who are short.

Just at this time ! think that most OF

there may be some action.
IF the manufacturers have to increase
the price of shirts the retailers Will have
to make a proportionate increase. and
then you see that tho consumer. or the
man who wears the shirt will have to
fork out the extra cost.
