Retailers Brand Aim
OF New Garment Body
Association TO Exploit Jeanne
Chcrie Under Merchants
Own Name

Organization of a new association
of retailers. designed primarily to ex-
plot the branded name of Jeanne
Cherie as applied to women's dresses,
coats, suits, waists, skirts, millinery
and sweaters, was announced yester-
day by Frederick Martin Burns, for
several years advertising and sales d.
rector for Peggy Paige. The new or
ganization, to be known as the Inter
national Retailers Association. Of
which Mr.. Burns is president, is pro-
ceeding on the idea that the branded
name should belong to the retailer
rather than to the manufacturer. The
association will conduct a national ad-
vertising campaign and also will
maintain research departments in the
women's ready-to-wear and millinery
fields, but will do no buying for indi-
vidual members. Membership is limited
to one store in each community, and
already applications have been re-
ceived from $50 leading establish
ments, according to Mr.. Burns.
Temporary headquarters have been
opened in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
Retailers" said Mr.. Burns, "have
become dissatisfied with the methods
of handling nationally advertised
branded ready-to-wear merchandise,
where the brand name belongs to the
manufacturer. Our association will
make the brand name the retailers
own and he will be free to buy his
merchandise wherever he chooses. The
only restrictions will be on the quality
of the merchandise handled"

High Prices for Ready-Made
Garments Shifting Trade
to Piece Goods; Buyers
Shopping at Wholesale

Hesitancy and caution, in some cases
more pronounced thar . few weeks
aEo, continue 20 characterize the
operations Of the retailers in the
wofhea's Wholesale apparel markets. A
number Of buyers for retail stores
are In tbs market at present, but they
are said to be shopping more extern
sively than ever before. and are in
sistinx on lower prices than the manu-
facturers and wholesalers are quoting
Tho retail atmosphere is charged
with q certain tenscness. based upon
the expectation Of some big changes in
the Wholesale markets. The buyers ex-
plain that they do not expect any big
breaks in the market, although few
Of then state that in their opinion
lower prices will prevail before the
season Is much further advanced. In
the fur trade particularly there has
been great pressure on the part Of the
retailers for lower prices, which in
some cases have been met by the
smaller manufacturers who are hard
pressed for cash.
As the retailer views the situation,
tAtS 20 CSSHS cOSt VI 6oAiSAtS Is tOO
high to permit an easy flow of mer-
chsndise to the general public, which
has not cast off its economizing habit
inaukurated over year ago, accord
ing to reports. Visiting retailers from
all sections assert that the volume Of
ready-to-wear passing to the public is
showing a decline, while the yardage in
piece goods for home sewing is showing
an increase.
Manufacturers say that they realize
present prices are high, and attribute
most of the excess" to high wages in
the cutting up industry. Until wages
decline, they assert, lower prices are
not possible, unless merchandise is to
be sold at a loss, or at least without
any profit.
Some manufacturers are quietly sell
ing some of their surplus silks and
wcolens, bought earlier in the season
IN anticipation of more business for
finished garments than has material
lied to date.

The commercial money markets yes
terday were quiet. Although business
10 reviving slowly, as yet there has
been little or no increase in the de-
mand for money with which to carry on
increased business operations, accord
Ing to bankers. Credit restrictions in
the business world are still tightly
drawn. One evidence of this was the
announcement yesterday by officials Of
the New York Fur Auction Sales Cor
poration that credit limits at the forth
coming sale next week will be held
within strict lines.
Commercial paper continued to dis
count at the prevailing rate of 6 per
cent, with paper not we'll known in the
market going at slightly higher figures.

u. S. Gets Competition in p /.

1t Will be necessary for American
merchants who expect to compete with
Europeans in trading with the Philip
pine Islands to extend longer credits,
according to E. w. Wilson, general
manager Of the Philippine National
Bank, Manila. In cable to the bank's
New York agency, Mr.. Wilson states
that despite the general improved
business conditions in the islands,
American trade has reached a critical
condition through European competi-
ton.
Trade conditions in the Philippine
Islands" he cab..i, "are slowly i'm
proving, and believe that conserva-
tive credit can be safely granted.
Failure to retain the advantages al
ready gained by American merchants
doing business with the Philippine
Islands / consider to be a grave bust
cess mistake"
