The Cost of Wool in a Suit.

The cost of raw wool makes little
difference to the cost Of suit.
The New York State College of
Agriculture, in a recent statement,
points out that a mans suit contains
about three yards and a quarter of
cloth, or eight pounds of wool, cost
ing, say SIS. If shoddy is used in
stead of wool, from 75c to SO may be
saved on the first cost; but there is
no real saving to the customer, as
the suit wears out SO much faster.
'sShoddy" is the technical term
for wool that has been re-worked. If
it is made from wooden rags. or
clothing that has seen much hard
service, it probably has not. much
wearing value if made into clothing.
On the other hand, shoddy made
from high class tailors' clippings
may give better service than if made
from some of the low grade virgin
woods.
