Wholesalers Speak Well Of N. B.

w. f. Borene, manager Of the M. G..
Olson Co.'s clothing store, returned
from Chicago Friday. Borene says
that the clothing situation is still in
a peculiar condition owing to the
strike Of journeyman tailors in the
east. At Chicago he met merchants
from New York and Boston, something
altogether unusual as they have here
tofore purchased their supplies in the
eastern markets. This, of course con-
jests the western market centres and
tends to maintain prices. He also
states that he is informed by whole
salers in Chicago that insofar as COL
lections and accounts generally are
concerned North Dakota merchants
are in a much better position than
the merchants Of either Iowa or Min
nesota.
