'India's imports of cotton goods in
the fiscal year ended March 81, 1914,
were valued at the huge sum of S215,-
O96,915," says the report. Roughly
British India takes about 20 per cent
of the total cotton goods exported by
all the cotton manufacturing countries
of the world. The value of the annual
imports of cotton piece goods into the
port of Calcutta alone exceeds the
imports of piece goods into any other
single country in the world"
Of the total of $215,096,915 worth
of cotton goods imported in 1914, Eng
land supplied S193, 1853, 572 worth. Ger
many was next with $4,596,429 worth,
Japan following with $4,000, 965 worth.
Holland next with $3,440,207 worth.

over the border. We attended the
Canada picnic, you know Hattie and
| were both born in Canada and found
people there that knew my birthplace
better than I did, father having moved
to Wisconsin when I was six months
old, so it's no wonder. We went to
the Wisconsin Picnic and felt quite
at home there, we registered from
Winnebago County, Wood County and
Dane County, perhaps this helps to
account for the large number present
We saw Mrs. Laura Voyer Carroll,
Mrs. Belle Voyer Timm from the Rap

We think Long Beach an ideal place
to spend the winter, especially such
winter as the past when there was
so little coal to be had in the east
There are meatless and wheatless days
here, but that doesn't matter so much

If these ninteen operations are made
by hand, Mr.. Fruhauf explained, the
garment is 100 per cent hand tailored
and not unless these operations are
performed by hand, can the garment
be called a Manufactured suit in the
full meaning of the word. From the
manner in which the Fruhaufs act
toward those who seek information
about hand-tailoring it is evident that
the subject is one very dear to them,
and if Mr.. Fruhauf is at the Jefferson
Market Police Court tomorrow morn
ing to testify against Greenhut's as
he undoubtedly will, the court will
hear just what the Fruhauf idea of
hand-tailoring amounts to and if the
Magistrate happens to wear suit
purchased as manufactured, the chanc-
es are he will soon learn that cam
outage is practiced in the retail cloth
ing field to quite some extent.
No Middle Road
So far as the Fruhaufs are con-
cerned there is no middle road in
the hand tailoring of a garment. A
coat cannot be Manufactured in one
part and machine made in another
and be called manufactured, according
to Henry Fruhauf, and there is no
doubt in the minds of those who know
the details of the case against Green
hut's that the court will have to de-
eide the issue once and for all time
and if a retailer has a right in adj
vertising garments as nd-tailored,
even if some minor details in the gar
ment are made by hand and the rest
by machine, then the matter will be
closed. But it appears to be a GER
tainty that the American Fair Trade
League and the clothing manufacture
ers who have long made a speciality
of manufactured work, are determined
to check retailers from advertising
their clothing as manufactured when
SO per cent of the garment is made
by machine, if the courts decide that
such advertising on the part of the
retailers is false and misleading.
interviewed by newspaper men in
New York, Mr.. LaVigne summarized
his case by the brief statement that
even if the whole clothing trade should
wish to contend that a machine-made
suit is Manufactured because the few
button holes in the coat are sewed by |
hand and there are few hand stitches |
under the collar, still the advertise |
ment that it is "hand-tailored" suit |
IS misleading, deceptive, and confus-
ing to the public. There would then
be no field left for custom tailors, be- |
lieves Mr.. LaVigne, and the term in
its present elastic form is used by the |
for unfair competition.
This is good point for the courts
to determine. Trial begins March14. |
The Greenhut Company, Inc, has
also been called before the Federal |
Food Board in New York to answer |
charges of violations of the Federal |
Food Regulations.
