much In evidence. They succeeded
IN securing quite a quantity of the

erosshreds. Continental buyers, from
Belgium and France especially. helped
In tire competition. High prices were
Inc rule, and this IN likely to continue
until the great demand is somewhat
satisfied. II is a. curious circumstance

wool growers against the sale here
OF British wool, All told, the clin
from Colorado Is less than 1000. 600
pounds a year. or about per cent OF
the amount grown in this country. IT

How One Salesman
Helped. to Sell the
Goods Of Competitor

No better illustration of the fact
that any kind OF advertising is good
advertising is required than the ex-
perience recently enjoyed by local
shoe salesman. This man represents
a concern which produces only high
grade goods, and because of the very
high prices that 1t has been obliged
to ask for its spring goods he did not
try to open any new accounts among
tho smaller retailers.
One OF these telephoned to him one
day recently. however, asked him 10
call, and then wrote q fair sized or
der. After the transaction was finish
ed the retailer told the salesman that
he had never stocked the latter's line
before. but had decided to do so as a
result Of talk he had had with a
salesman for competing wholesaler
This salesman had been basing much
OF hts selling argument on the high
prices asked by the firm in question.
and had advised the retaiie- not to
buy any of its shoes on that ground.
When asked il he thought that the
shoes were worth the prices asked,
the competing salesman candidiy re-
piled in the affirmative Largely on
the strength of this assertion. the re-
taller said. he get in touch with the
first man and the orders resulted.

Woman of Fashion
Will Not A c cept
Commonse Heel

Wholesalers of WON ems shoes in
the local trade do not look for any
particular increase in the demand for
footwear of the comm on sense" heel
type as a result of the campaign that
has recently been started with the
idea OF winning the fair sex away
from French and other moro slightly
effects. Like the cigarette evil" 1t
was pointed out. high heels have been
the target Of certain reformers on and
off for years. but the trade has gone on
steadily in making and selling shoes
embodyfng them. There Is no dis
position to run down the use OF
the common sense" heel for certain
purposes, notably on shoes for work
ing women who are on their feet for
long periods. but the possibility of
doing away with "dressy' heels alto
gether is considered extremely. re-
mote. FOR one thing, 1t is asserted,
the women want them.

Arrival of Swiss
DyestuHs Relieved
Print Cloth Trade

Arrival Friday OF large cargoes OF
Swiss dyestuffs has removed for the
present the acute shortage of such
colors a. wool green s, patent blue
and benzo fast scarlet. Importers of
'colurs stated that while the. ccnsign~
ments OF dyes which have arrived will
not cover all the orders on hand they
will go long way toward supplying
the Immediate needs of some consum-
ers. Old customers whose payments
have been prompt will be given first
preference in the distribution. II was
said.
The importance which attaches to
these Swiss colors, dealers xaid. lies
, rot In any superiority to American
coiors. but to the fact that the shades
imported cannot be produced in this
country. The call from the woolien
mills for patent blue and wool green S
has been especially heavy during the
