SCOTCH W00LENS FOR
THOMAS O'C0NNELL

Henry Bernard, proprietor OF 5. stem
and Company, Of New York, one OF the
largest importers Of woolens In Amer
lea, was a guest at the Hotel dupont
on Thursday. The Stein and Company
goods come from their own mills in
Edinburgh, Scotland. Their mills are
among the largest In the world in the
manufacture Of exclusive designs IN
woolens.
Thomas O'Connell, merchant tailor,
at No. 706 Market street, is a customer
OF twelve years standing Of s. Stein
and Company. Speaking TO reporter
for The Evening Journal this morn
Ing. Mr.. O'Connell described the grati-
flying improvement in the woolens situ-
alton. He said he had placed a large
order with Mr.. Bernard for spring and
summer patterns. whose manufacture
the mills will begin early in January
with shipments TO merchant customers
about the middle OF February.
The exclusive designs in the O'Con-
nell store, explained the local tailor,
are due 70 his purchasing them from
s. Stein and Company, specialists in
exclusive patterns, and due to the fur
ther fact that except in the case Of a
few staple, solid colors, only sufficient
cloth 10 make one suit OF overcoat IS
imported in a single pattern.
Previous TO 1917. said Mr.. O'Connell,
IL became evident that If the war con-
tinued IL would soon be impossible to
obtain imported worseds and woolens.
With wise foresight, Mr.. O'Connell at
that time ordered through 5. Stein and
Company enough material to supply
his customers for two years.
Had the armstice not been signed,
with the resultant prospect Of an early
resumption Of work in the Edinburgh
mills. Mr.. O'Connell declared there
would have been little or no real
woolens in the market during 1919. He
said it was his intention. II conditions
arose to prevent his obtaining woolens.
TO suspend his business for the dura-
tion Of the war rather than risk sup
plying his exclusive trade with ma
terial containing cotton or shoddy, or
both.
Mr.. O'Connell expressed himself as
much pleased that this will not he
as the outlook is good for
a sufficient supply Of real woolens.
