least rs per cent.

Maybe more, of the clothing
now sold is made from cheap
wool and mercerized cotton.
The reason is, that wool Is
higher priced than usual and
there are lots of dealers who
will sell them for all wool.
The new developments in
mercerizing and the great
skill in piece dyeing makes ii
almost impossible to tell them
from the genuine article. 1t
is only by wearing them that
you realize that you are "Qp
against it," for they won't
wear like all wool and the

keep them in shape; therefore
why run the risk of being de.
