rich. Pile fabrics are warm and rich
looking and have proved to be most
durable. Coats of these pushes sell
at a reasonable price ard so do those
of heavy woods that are woven like
steamer rugs or army blankets. Leath-
err coats have been introduced to pro-
vide warm coats at a medium price.
The two coats shown in the pictura
above are good examples of styles fog
all-round general wear. They are cue
on the most practical lines with muf-
fer collars, big pockets and roomy
sleeves. The coat at the left has
narrow belt of cloth with long ends
that loop over at the front. A few
bone buttons make themselves useful
for fastening at the waistline and col
lar and ornamenting the cuffs. In
the coat at the right, the buttons are
cloth-covered and the belt slips
through a slide at the front. A luxu-
rious collar of skunk fur may be
brought up and fastened at the throat,
in the face OF stormy weather or be-
fore the teeth of an icy wind. These
are both attractive coats and types of
styles that are soft and becoming as
well as warm and durable.

LOCAL MERCHANTS
KBOSH SIEGEL
Don't Like Bill to Com
pei Them To Show
Cost Prices

The voices of, Elizabeth City
merchants will go up to Congress
with the voices of the rest of the
nations buyers and sellers, in pro-
test against the awfully discon-
certing Siegel Bill now pending in
Congress. There was a solemn
and sullen meeting Of Elizabeth
City merchants held in the rooms
of the Chamber of Commerce in
this city Tuesday afternoon, at
which resolutions were framed
and Congressman Small petition
ed to do his derndest to kill that
Siege1 Bell. -
The Siegel Bill, officially known as II.
r. 1915, proposes to make every mer-
chant and dealer put the cost mark in
plain figures, on every article OF mer-
chandise offered for sale. The bill is
designed to end profteering, the theory
being that no dealer will have the nerve
to profiteer if he is forced to make his
cost prices known.
Elizabeth City dealers are unanimous
in their declaration that they couldn't
do business under the Siegel Bill. One
of the largest merchants in the city de-
clares that his business will be for sale
the minute the Siege1 Bill becomes law
If it becomes a law. All declare that
the passage of the bill would produce a
business panic such as this country has
never known.
The cost of modern Methods OF mer-
chandising with the service and losses
entailed isn't readily comprehended by
the average consumer. A merchant pays
SO for an article and sells it for S15 or
| $50. He doesn't make So or $40 by the
deal; indeed his profit may be nearer ~
per cent than SO per cent. But that
merchant never could explain that cost
| price to the average consumer.
-, The merchants don't want their cost
marks known. They couldn't put cost
prices on their goods along side theil
selling prices and look the public in the
face. One has to be very careful how
and when he looks the public in the
| face.

A STINGING LETTER
;: FROM A DOUGE1BOY
Editor. The independents

Editor, The independent
Last summer (191S) I was called to
serve my country in the military services
and taken away from my home and peo-
pie on the farm I was the only boy in
the family at home to look after the
fa1 ming and general work and help take
care of my parents who are old. After
l vas taken away my people were COM
PEELED to break up farming and move to
rnis town, because my father was not
able to do the work on the farm.
I spent nine months of hardship in
France and was lucky enough to get
back, by the will of the Lord. While L
was away you never heard such promises s
and talks what the people back home
we're going to do for the boys that went
to France when they got back. But If
ANYBODY has ever done anything for them
in this town I would like to see it.
Twas discharged from the service July
18th, 1919 with the pitiful sum of $50
bonus When I got to Elizabeth City L
found that was hardly enough to buy me
a civilian suit I have been in this town
since July 17th and have not been able
to find anybody willing enough to give
me a job that I might earn living. l
hope every person in Elizabeth City
might read this so they will know what
their town is doing for the soldier boys
who went to distant country to fight
for Democracy and to a~ve this country
from being invaded by the enemy. / am
leaving your town and hope everybody
will get along we'll with their selfish
way.
