TABOO THE OVERALL CRAZE
Don't Force Workers to Pay Fancy
Price for this Necessity

We are in the midst of an overall
craze. Bankers, clergymen, lawyers
and even senators are allowing them
selves to be carried away with the fad.
Thesy are undoubtedly moved by good
motives. But they do not understand
the situation. Denims are extremely
hard to get 1t is impossible even now
for overall manufacturers to deliver
all of their orders promptly. And in
buying overalls unnecessarily for gen
eral wear, these faddists are draining
a market that is already too low.
Overalls are essentially work clothes.
AS work clothing they are a necessity
to certain classes of workers. The
price of overalls, like the price of ev-
erything else, depends absolutely on
the law of supply and demand. I'M
less this overall craze is stopped it
must eventually result in higher prices
for overalls. The movement is wrong
and cannot possibly result in good for
those who actually need overalls.
