Retailers Place Fewer
Orders for Garments
High Prices Tend TO CurtaiI
Consumption, Manufacturers
Are Told

Buying Of spring apparel for women
by retailers is proceeding more cauti-
ously than at the opening of any season
for the past decade. The wholesale gar
ment section is crowded with buyers,
but they are shopping around the DIFF
ferent show rooms and placing orders
sparingly Manufacturers report that
the volume Of business being placed
now. figured in dollars and cents is
about up TO normal, but it shows a
large decrease in the number of gar
ments being ordered.
Buyers now in the market are bring
inc considerable pressure to bear
against high prices. They tell manu-
facturers that the fall and winter sea
son in apparel has been bad because OF
the high prices and insist that greater
curtailment in consumption wlil result
from the further increases in spring
garments.
On the other hand manufacturers in
sist there is no possibility of lower
prices for the spring season. Silk.
woolens and cottons. they say are high
er than ever and the wages Of garment
operators. particularly in the cloak and
suit trade have just been advanced about
10 per cent Similar wage increases
are expected in the dress and waist
trade.
The buyers are insisting on early
deliveries of their initial orders SO that
they can try out the new styles and
prices on their customers as soon as
possible Their future buying policies
win be determined largely by the man
ner in which the public takes hold of
ypring merchandise in March. Because
Of the fact that Easter comes early
IN April this year, retailers are pre-
pairing for an early spring season. and
this accounts for some OF the quick
deliveries desired by buyers now

PRICES BEAT
COAST PRICES

Demonstrating the fact that Imper
ial Valley merchants are more than
able to compete with merchants on the
coast because of lower overhead. ETC.,
recent case wherein the Imperial
Valley Hardware Company is under
selling one Of the largest department
stores on the coast has been brought
to light.
The prices of the local firm were
not special prices but everyday prices
for the public week in and week out.
Comparisons are more than inter
esting in the case of the popular
Florence Oil Cook stoves where for
the small size Los Angeles prices were
S27.75 and the El Centro price is $25.
Other sizes were $3.50, $45.25 and
$50 in Los Angeles and the same
stoves were priced at $33, SAP and S55
in El Centre.
The Valley has been flooded with
circulars on these prices by the Los
Angeles firm but it is doubtful il
such business will be secured.

VALLEY SERVICE
STATION OWNED
BY BROTHERS

The Valley service station, Main and
imperial avenue, which for the past
year has been owned and operated by
Harry Bowker, popular FL Centro man
has been sold.
Three San Diego lads, sons of the
late John F. Schwartz, for 20 years
treasurer of San Diego county, are the
new owners. They assumed control
the first part of the week.
The Schwartz Brothers are distri-
5uting the Alemite system of lubrica-
ton, a new pressure lubrcating sys-
tenn; a method that eliminates all
grease and oil cups on the chasis, does
away with all the trouble and dirty
work, does the job in fraction of the
usual time and does it far better than
by previous method.
"Over one hundred cars and trucks
are coming out this year equipped with
the Alemite SYSTEM said Ed.
Schwartz, "And if your car is not
equipped, we will install it at our
station
In connection with the service de-
partment, the station will carry a com
plete line Of tires, tubes and acces-
sories.
