Gen. Grant used to say: Assume that the enemy is
as scairt as you are and is thinking faster; always
count him making the best possible move under the
circumstances in which he finds himself; don't figure
his making a mistake to save you from the
quences Of your errors"

And the United States pacidly returns to its petty

COLLARS.

Separate collars for mems shirts are
said to have been first made about
1926 by the wife. Of a blacksmith in
Troy n. Y. This woman did the family
washing and ironing, and realized that
shirts with separate collars would not
have to be washed as often as did
shirts with collars attached. She APP
piled the idea not only by making sep
arate collars for her husbands shirts
but by making them also for sale. This
innovation attracted the attention OF a
retired Methodist minister, who kept a
small dry goods store in Troy. With
the aid of the female members Of his
own family. i'm 1929 he began offering
string collars" for sale and soon de-
veloped a profitable new branoheof his
business. The demand for store col
lars increased. and during the 30s and
4Os several companies We're formed to
carry on the manufacture of separate
collars cuffs and shirt bosOms, either
in connection with the manufacture OF
shirts or as a separate industry. The
sewing machine was introduced into
the collar industry in 1882. and steam
power in 1859 Electric cutting ma
