portions and popularity.
Local drygoods dealers reported today
that they have sold many pairs of

er claiming that he sold two dozen
pairs on Saturday. With this sudden
turn of events on the mart, so to
speak. the dealers are growing squeam-
ish, and wondering when and where to
boost prices. One dealer said today
that he wouldn't raise his price until
his present stock Of overalls is out.
then he would be compelled to raise
only about 800 per cent.
Many citizens were appearing on the
streets today in garb long since dis
carded and bundled for the Salvation
Army and Near East reliefs. They have
decided to wear out the "old clothes
until better weather comes, then,
prices permitting. don denim or khaki.

The attitude of the corporation on

Moreover, it is believed that the

I'VE stand for the open shop, which

We do not combat labor unions
as such. We, of course, acknowledge
the natural right of labor to organ

pleased exceedingly to hear of the

enjoying in the practice of his profess
sion in this city.
DR.. Lambright's office at 18th and

go out of the Race to find one these
