think Edison must be getting a little
in his dotage anyway, trying to in
vent a machine to talk to spirits.
Who wants to talk to a spirit? l do
not care to be in talking distance of
one myself, and if l ever talk to
one it will be just a running CONVEX
sat:on we would have. 1t looks now
like Kerr will have to shoulder the
whole Kerr G. Edison business.
Well, that suit you gave me is
about gone, and 7 am going back to
my old tailor, Mr.. Styleplus. Bradley
Reese introduced me to him several
years ago and as long as he made my
suits for $3.50 I stuck to him but
when he took rise in price 1 wore
the suit you gave me. Mr.. Styleplus
got as high as $500 and even high
er last year and didn't know he was
thinking of reducing the price of his
suits until I was walking down by
Parker & Reese's and 1 saw one of
his suits Marked. Was $500, now
$780," so I told Bradley to wrap
one up and Iwould go back to wear
ing tailor-made clothes. Sol Rosen-
berg knows three tailors in New
York who are good tailors too. They
are named Hart and Schaffner and
Marx. l like Hart the best of the
three as he is the head of the firm.
l like to deal with the head of the
firm, because if there is anything to
give out, the head does the. giving. I
like to stand in with that kind of a
man. Well, after 1 told Bradley to
wrap up the suit, l thought to my
self that maybe had talked too fast.
So goes back to Bradley and tells
him not to send the suit up until I
phohed him. Then l went up to see
Sol and l had him to write to his
tailor Hart q think his name is Bill
Hart but l am not sure) to find out
whether he could get me out a suit
for less than $3.50. l told Sol to
send the letter on the fast mail and
to get reply as early as possible
because if l could not do better I
did not want to lose the suit at
Bradley's as Bradley had already
shown that he would charge it. If you
get time you might drop in Hart's
tailor shop and tell them that you
know Sol and that he has customer
named Kerr who likes to wear good
tailor made clothes who is kind of a
walking advertisement on styles. and
say to him to drop Sol a note sug-
gesting that he try to get to make a
suit for Kerr at cost, or even a little
less, and maybe Hart will come un-
der Styleplus, Bradley's friend and
tailor. Of course will not trade with
Sol without giving Bradley another
chance, but it won't take long to hear
from Styfeplus, who lives in Balti
more, and he can write him while 1
am meditating over Sops offer.
Well, there is no other news except
that Cousin Willie Leslie says y
