tons as regards supplies and prices.
This reliable firm has been 80 years in

character which gives the weight to
their announcements. The future Of
merchandise has been a problem for
dealers since the European war began,
and, though the market has been pro-
tccted by the great supplies on hand or
received in the early days of the war.
at the present time some lines cannot
be secured at all. One point is that no

the American product is insufficient.
