coming forward of good advance or
ders secured by jobbers on fall lines of
dress goods In several sections these
advance orders are said to have been
much better than expected with re-
tailers contracting for fall require
ments we'll ahead of the usual time.
Jobbers sent their road statesmen out
early with fall collections and the re-
turns to hand are said to have fully
warranted this move. In some in
stances, it is claimed that had mills de-
t.vered sample cards and pieces at an
earlier date, more business could have
been put through. Several jobbers
claim that they are still awaiting sam
Pile cards from the mills, and have
been unable to send out their sales
men for this reason. Western jobbers
are reported to be sending forward
duplicate orders to the mills on lines
that have met with a good reception.
