Do Women Insist
On Expensive
Garments?

Phat women will not buy cheap
suits, and that manufacturers, in
order to sell their products, have
ITO raise prices, is the plea made by
certain jobbsrs to Arthur Williams,
federal food administrator, who is
seeking the reason for the high
prices of clothing and is also trying
to hunt out prohteers.
The jobbers' claims that women
buyers insist upon having expensive
garments in the extreme of fashion
and that styles change SO, rapidly
that they are losing money, as their
stock rooms are congested with out
of-date goods. are interesting fea-
lures of the high prices situation.
i Buyers More Careful
Thrifty women buyers, on the
other hand, tell "a different story:
They would be glad to buy cheaply.
AS it is, many of them haYe to keep
on wearing their old clothes much
longer than they care to, or have
been in the habit of doing, because
the cheaper garments offered them
are Of such poor quality and so bad
ly cut and made that they cannot
persuade themselves to- lose money
by buying. them. The woman who
could formerly get very good look
ing simple taffeta frock for about
$50, is now asked 40 pay SIS for
something no better, if,s indeed, as
good.
Naturally, neither the thrifty
housewife nor the salaried profess
sional or business woman, in these
days when all living expenses have
mounted SO high, is going to buy
clothes as casually as she did
few years ago. Since\she, must pay
high prices, she is going to take
extra pains to see that, SO far as
she is able, she gets value received
for her money. And she does not
intend to buy clothes of such fimsy
materials, SO poorlyt put together
that, after>a few wearings, if not,
indeed, from the beginning, she will
look shabby and addressed in them.
She learned her lessons in thrift
during wartime conservation days
too we'll for that. If the jobbers
want them to buy their cheap goods,
the women say. let them make their
offerings worth paying for. If they
will not do this, then the thrifty wo-
man will have her old clothes of
good materials made over and will
make them last as long as possible.
