shoes for twenty-five years. and I've
finally got all my business placed

great many OF them did not hold up
their stuff. I've had lots OF manu-
facturers in my day use good stuff

man Retail merchants and clerks

cheap. They don't They want
something good. They buy stuff
that is cheap only because they
think they haven't enough money
TO buy something good. Now, I
want to ask you. is It not better
for a man to have one pair OF
shoes made out Of q piece OF
leather that viii give him q
years service than 70 have two
pairs OF shoes made out OF that
same piece Of leather split In two,
as they do II nowadays, which
will not last him more than six

manufacturing that is done a great

at the request of the old man, was
going. TO New York to offer sugges-

One evening Watkins, Joannis
Carolianus and the dry goods buyer
sat with a group OF manufacturers
and statesmen in the roof garden Of
the Hotel Astor. They looked down
Broadway at the glittering lights
which shone between the great sky
scraping monuments Of commerce.

fringed the roof garden, the green
