CHEAPER CLOTHING
NOT YET IN SIGHT
Manufacturer Here Takes Issue
With Washington's opti-
mistic Views

Fall and winter clothes may be even
higher in price than they were last
spring.
A representative Of A. Il. Kirsch-
baum Co., clothing manufacturers. to-
day took issue with the. statement from
the attorney generals Office at Wash q
uigton that there Is no justification for
n price increase In suits.
Suits for this coming fall have been
made up Of woolens purchased at prices
prevailing a year ago, according TO the
Kirschbaum representative. Woolen
lines for next spring haven't been
opened yet. he stated, but for next
summer the prospects are for higher
priced mohairs. palm beaches and other
light clothing than for this summer.
Clothing manufacturers have not
noted any decrease In the cost of labor
or any increased efficiency by the work
crs." he said. "Clothing manufacturers
generally are on part time. They sim
ply won't produce more clothes than
the public will buy. Generally they are
content to fill orders and are not manu- =
featuring in anticipation of big de-
mand.
1.-The price of suit for the average
man this fall should be from $40 to
$50. The retailer won't be able to do
much better than this. Those who are
selling Mt decreased prices now are
overstocked.'
