WHY CLOTHES COST
 200 PER CENT MORE
 THAN FIVE YEARS AGO

Your winter suit and overcoat cost three times as much as those you bought in 1914 and following are some of the reasons given by manufacturers:
 Pocket makers are getting s70 cut ters, S56; bushelmen, $50 baSters, S55; and women finishers, s45 for a week of forty four hours
 In 1914 pocket makers received $25; cutters, from SIS to S2S; bushelmen SIP to $2O; basters, s15, and women finishers about SIP for week of sixty hours.
 Wool At S5s5 A Yard Y
 Good wool cloth cost s4.25 a yard in 1914. Inferior material, two ounces lighter per yard, is quoted at $5.S5 to- day.
 Rents for factories in New York, Rochester, Chicago, Baltimore and Bos- ton have increased in some cases. 100 per cent. Retailers costs have kept pace.
 These reasons for the tripled price of ready made suits and overcoats were given by A. F. Hurowitz, superintend- ent of the Paul G. Noetzel factory.
 Hurowitz said that within month the manufacturers will be compelled to "see" new raise to all hands of 15 per cent and a simultaneous reduction of the working week to forty hours
 T know manufacturers who had ac- cepted orders just before the armistice to deliver mems suit at s25,'' said Hurowitz, but in four months the price of labor, cloth and rent had advanced so much that the cost of producing the suits amounted to $35. Some manu- lecturers took a loss and made good their contract Others forced their workmen to strike because the strike clause in the contract was the only legal way out of what otherwise might have been very costly bargains.
 Cloth Increase Is Costly
 The workmen are well paid now. That increase of s1.60 per yard for cloth, however, is equivalent to a raise of $25 a week for all workmen.''
 Although prices would not be affected | thereby, Hurowitz said the entire cloth ing industry would benefit by Ameri- caniZation-
 T cannot understand why young Americans will not learn these simple tailoring trades" he continued. They are much better workmen than the inn migrants who comprise 90 per cent of the work shop personnel. The trades

can be learned in six months and, as the wage scale shows, are well paid. Yet these foreigners monopolize the work, although some of them never learn English. They are not tailors, but piece workers doing simple routine tasks. Not one in a thousand could make a whole suit alone. They live in the slums no matter how much money they receive"
 Hurowitz said the present prices of suits probably would be maintained for two years, perhaps, with slight in- creases. The price of cloth is expected to go higher because, following the tremendous demands for military cloth, the woolen trade had to find material this fall for about 6 million civilian overcoats.

fine STATEMENT K
COMMERCIAL BANK
With Resources Over A Million Dol
lars, Shows An Increase of 100
Per Cent Over 1916.

$1,183,955.54 is the sum total of
The Commercial Bank of this city
as per statement published in the ad-
vertising columns of this paper, and
the showing is most excellent one,
especially when compared with pre-
vious years.
The directors of this bank met on
June >27th and ordered seven per-
cent semi-annual dividend paid to the
stockholders, and increased the sur
plus from 100000 to $3.50 The
directors of this progressive banking
institution are D. D. Dumas, w. G.
Johnson, E. W.Grove, Joel M.Porter,
w. R. Lasater, J. X. Currier, Jr., and
j. C. Porter, the latter being presi-
dent w. F. Balch is the cashier.
Discussing the details and analysis
of the statement with Cashier Balch
the reporter from The Partisan Office
finds that the bank has shown con-
tinuous and healthy growth, and an
examination of the statements pub
lished by the bank in 1916, 1917, and
1918 shows the present statement
to be 100 percent increase. For in
stance, the statement of June 30th,
1916 shows the resources 9,364.-
1913 statement $1,183,955.54,
an increase over 1916 of 4,590.-
70, or 104 percent.
The Commercial Bank reached the
million-dollar-cl in the fall of last
year. its last previous statement of
year ago showing 1851, ,oO3.66. For
the semi-annual report of the close
of June 1917 the statement shows
Sy35, 5,224.29. The officers and direc-
tors of the Commercial Bank are to
be congratulated on the showing at
tained, and the people of the county
in general are necessarily proud of
the results, being an index to the f.
nancial status of the county.
