it cut down, hauled to the mill, saw it,
and make it into chair, makes the
chair cost more now than it did five
years ago.
Wool grows just as fast Oh the sheep
as it ever did But to get it clipped,
washed, brought to the market, carded,
spun, woven into cloth and made into
suit makes the suit higher priced
than it was when you were young.
The hide grows just as easy now on
the animals back as it did III time OF
Noah. But to get it removed from the
carcass. tanned, dyed and made into a
shoe makes the shoe higher priced
than the one Noah wore.
The labor cost of shoe is between
so and 30 percent. That includes all
labor from the time the animal is kill
ed and the shoe is finished. 1t in
Guides the labor of the cutter as well
as the superintendent, the executive as
well as the janitor of the factory.
If we are ever again to have suits
for $1,000, shoes for $3.50, or shirts for
% cents we must go back to the sweat
shop, to child labor, to II to Il hours
labor per day. May the time never
come
But things have come down long
ways from the high price it climbed
10 during the war period. We feel SAFE
in saying that 60 cents will buy more
goods in our store now than $1.U0 did
year ago
Boys Suits
A year ago if you wanted to get a
somewhat near decent suit for your
hoy, you had to pay from SD to so
for it, We received a shipment few
days ago of all wool suits for boys
nifty new styles, neat patterns, two
pair pants with each suit. Price S1O.So
and $l2S5. If you want suit at a
price we have some left that we are
selling at 1896, but it pays to get a
good one while you are at it.
Mems Suits
4 year ago if you wanted Il fairly
good suit you had to pay from $4,000

ut $3.50 and another one i'll a heavy

good enough for almost any man to
set married in provided he finds girl
