READY TO WEAR
TRADE GROWS
Miss Howe Has Built Up
Large Trade from Small
Beginning.

Beginning in . modest way with a
small line OF millinery, and later add
ing a stock OF ready-to-wear goods,
Miss Alba Howe, proprietor Of the
shop at S South Third street, has
gradually built up her establishment
until at present she has one of, the
most complete little shops" in the
city.
Garments Of good quality are always
to be had at Miss Howe's. The, wom-
an who is hard to fit almost univer-
sally visits Miss Howe. Tor Miss Howe
caters especially to those who are
known Is "odd Sizes" and many who
cannot be fitted by any other ready
to-wear firm i1>the city go to her
for assistance.
Skirts. coats, blouses. ribbons and
the miscellaneous accessoriesNthat go
with the ready-to-wear business are to
be found in Miss Howe's stock.
One Of the most important features
Of the shop is. however. the millinery
department. The variety Of shapes
and styles Of hats which Miss Howe
has to offer the well-dressed and pc
culiarly particular women of the city
is unlimited. Attentive clerks are al
ways waiting to assist the would-be
purchaser in her selection Of her new
bonnet or her new spring coat.

three years. Miss Hattie Kumm. the
young woman who presides over the
destinies of the La Vogue Millinery,
has brought to the women of Grand

has shown taste and discretion in her
buying. with the result that she num-

This year there is a particularly At

most complete stocks Of millinery
which the La Vogue has shown in It's

who likes to be 'w~ell-dressed, and

THE DIFFERENCE IN WAGES

A reimbursement Of wages has been
made for the tinplatc workers Of South
wales. and the announcement OF tho
wages established furnishes food for
serious thought. BY the new scale
roller receives SO cents per dozen boxes,
q doubler 6s cents, a furnace man. g.
cents, and n helper 81 cents. Tho aver
age weekly output is estimated at from
"a TO IS dozen boxes per man. Figur-
ing tho output at "a dozen boxes. tin
plate workers' wages in Wales amount
10 $500 per week for rollers. 1854 for
doublers, SI4.1S for furnace men. and
1915 for helpers.
1t is hardly possible 10 compare these
rneasre wages with the compensation
received by workers Of tinplatc mills m
the Ohio Valley. On tho average. it
might be said that the weekly figures
above named are not much more. il eny
than the daily wages earned by Ameri-
can workers in the same class. While
the American tinplate worker, undoubt-
eddy. produces more pieces than the
Welsh worker, the difference in The
scale Of production Is not. by say
means, in proportion 10 the difference IN
wages.
Tho serious question Is:
How long can the present America n
wage rate be maintained against the
competition OF manufacturers employ

paid:
