WOOL MUST BE WOOL
 IS PLAN OF UTAH BILL
 "CBy Associated Press)
 Salt Lake City. Feb. "A state Truth in Fabrics" bill was intro duced in the lower house of the Utah legislature today. It provides that every manufacturer of woven or knit fabrics or yarn purporting to contain wool, and all garments or articles of apparel made therefrom, and every merchant selling such goods. before offering same for sale In intrastate commerce or exchange, shall procure from the state a per init or license to transact such business"
 This proposed bill is most assur- edly In accord with my ideas on the subject. In fact, I dealt with this matter in one of my articles some time since. There should be laws in every state similar to this, to protect the public. It is impoS- sible for the merchants, no matter | how truthful they may be, to tell purchasers the exact amount of wool used in the manufacture of | various articles.
 The public makes business pos- | sible and I am strong for laws which will protect the public. Ev- | erybody is entitled to a square deal | and it is pretty hard for us mer- | chants who do business in the open | to stand by and watch some fly-b | night concern unload a bunch of cheap stuff on the people, misrep- resenting its quality. But what can we individuals do? We do not dare come out and knock competitor If we did. the people wouldn't like | 4. l,,A business-and 1t would be. How ever. a law such as the above would greatly relieve the situa- ton and would prevent misrepre- sentation to a very large degree.
 I have been in the clothing busi ness for years and the question of the per cent of wool in merchan disc has been brought up hundreds of times by customers. Even with my long experience as my guide can't always give the exact dope" | I have always been very careful not to misrepresent-when an article is cotton I sell it for cotton; if I know how much wool is in ii, say so; if do not know, then I am frank and say so.
 On the average standard product, the customer does not have to wor- l ry much about the amount of wool | used in its manufacture. That IS why we have little or no trouble l with Hirsh- -Wickwire clothes. When | people buy articles which are wei. xnown-which are manufactured by reputable house and have the l reputation of the manufacturer and 1 the retailer behind them. they are | assured of their moneys worth, nine l times out of ten. For instance VI | Wilson Bros shirts are known the | world over. Thousands and thouS- ands of men buy shirts and insist on Wilson Brothers" because they know they are good-they have a reputation behind them. People ! who ask for and insist on getting standard articles are very sel1cm dissatisfied with their purcnases. We never have kicks On Stetson hats. Why? Because the buyars know what they are getting before they buy and the longer they wear the hat the more their good judg- ment is confirmed.
 That Is why Hyder Brothers sell quality merchandise of well known standard fires which have been tried out, proven good and which have satisfied millions of people in years gone by. It is not our policy 1 10 unload job lots of cnesp stuff on our customers and we do not like | to see others do it and continually | try to fool the public. As has been said. You can fool all the people some of the time. some of the people l all the time, BUT you can't fool | all the people all of the time." hope the time will come when mo- bodv can fool any of the people any | of the time when it comes to buy ing clothing and haberdashery.
 Remember-wh I am away the men in my store will give you the
 very best of service. and the best
 and the lowest possible price, < always to be had al Hydcr Brothers
