.o=T of Clothino

We had a talk with the president
OF one Of the large New England knit
ting mills which makes one of the
best-known branded lines of high class
underwear in the country. These goods
retail at from s1.50 to 50. yet the
manufacturer makes net profit upon
them of only so cents per dozen. The
man who wears this underwear. and
there are many OF them. probably be-
heves he is paying a high price when
he pays % garment, but none OF the
magazines have told him yet that the
manufacturer makes only ( 1-6 cents
of this 50 which he pays, nor have
they told him that the retailer makes
a gross profit Of per cent. on these
same goods. The average knit goods
mill in this country. even when times
are good. makes only from 3 to 4 per
cent. net profit. while the retailer who
handles the goods makes so per cent
gross Under conditions such as pre-
vail today. 1t costs the knit goods
manufacturer $40 q dozen to make
cotton garments which retail at so

do with this cost. It Ia a question en-

cured 1t for s13.75, or If she pays $50

exceptional examples of the profits
which the retailer makes on dress

left New Thursday, April II, for
Mediterranean ports with a large
party OF tourists and a week later
was back in New York with 700 sur
vivors of the most disastrous ship
wreck in human experience. AS the
passengers who had Just left the
country could not bring any dutiable
articles and as those rescue from
the Titanic had no personal effects
many being s~cantily clad, they could
not possibly smuggle in n goods,
so there was not ever a cursory ex-
animation by the customs officers.
