shirt on" is an expression more elo-
quent than elegant, but yet if the or
binary, everyday individual was COM
PEELED to pay from IS to SIS for a single
garment to the shirtmaker he would
accept the aforesaid sentence literally
and live up to it in every sense of the
word for the very good reason that his
change of linen might be limited.
Yet that is the program price in
vogue at a custom-made shirt factory
recently started in this city, and what's
more, the concern has the men on its
books Who keep it going with the
orders, and some Of these patrons are
the most prominent in the social and
financial world.
Paterson, although saying very little
about its shirt mills, has long been
noted as the home of the best shirts,
and the establishments are always busy
and provide work for a great many
people.
Recently there opened up for bust
ness in this city another shirt factory,
the custom-making place connected
with one of the largest and best known
~haberdashers on Broadway, New York.
The store has other factories in differ
ent parts of the country, but the n
here does all of the custom order bust
ness of the concern.
Among the customers of this concern
are probably a majority of the best
known men in the country, and ,natur-
ally they nave their own ideas as to
the shirts they want to wear.
The Hon. William S. Cody, familiarly
known as Buffalo Bill" is a patron of
this place and he recently had shipped
to his order a dozen that cost him SIS
each. He is partial to striped goods,
quite loud, and wants lots of room
about the neck. He also likes cuffs to
show well below the coat cuff.
Reginald Vanderbilt, the young
horseman and many times a million
aire, is a lover of figured goods, very
neat, with cuffs made rather small. He
is extremely particular about his linen
and he is able to discover the difference
Of an eighth of an inch in h sleeves,
and that would be sufficient to have
the whole lot returned. He is said TO
pay the highest penny for shirts, $1S
to $40 a garment.
Patrick McCarren, of Brooklyn, Sena-
tor from tina place, and Kings County

the shirt question, and his line is made
here. He likes small stripes, with very
large cuffs, detachable, with the necks
tightly fitted and a very high collar.
Mayor Mcclellan, of New York city,
Is another customer. He goes in for
fancy flannel and a very large bosomed
white shirt for evening dress. He does
not care much for colored shirts and

figure in them. He has the small cuff.
Senator Chauncey M. Depew wears
only white shirts of the very best fab
ric, or at least that is the only kind
the order book of the concern calls for.
Thomas F.. Ryan, the financier. is a
good customer for all kinds, flannel,
stiff bosoms and negligee lines, and is
said to spend very little time in look
ing over the samples.
Willie Thaw, of Pittsburg, is very
critical and hard to suit in his selec-
tons. He is a little inclined to the
louder patterns, preferring the dark
pink thai was so much the rage a few
years ago. He makes shopping trips
from Pittsburg to New York in his
automobile, and is said to be very lib
eral, buying as much for his friends
do " us ~ 10 O0A
toggery shops.
Bird S. Coler, of Brooklyn, goes in
for black and white, an unusually
small cuff attached to the shirt.
Harry Pulliam. president of the Ma
tional Baseball League, likes loud colors
and doesn't hesitate to pay the bills If
the goods suit.
Pat Sheedy. the well known sporting
man, is said to be one of the best
judges of shirt goods, and likes a little
color in his garments. He wears the
old fashioned standing up collar made
with the shirts, and out of the same
goods
Marshall p. Wilder Is a difficult man
to fit, and always wears white shirts.
Oscar Hammerstein is also an ex-
ponent of the immaculate brand.
Millionaires, manufacturers, sports
men and politicians of worldwide
fame wear shirts made by Paterson
hands, and so doe the man with the
dinner pail and the well dressed man
In every walk of life, who knows the
goods by the brand and never thinks
where they come from.
