now has an immense establishment
giving employment to thousands of
workmen and supplying shoes to all
sections of the United States.
That establishment is typical of
thousands Of others, great and
small. In such a business as that,
who owns or should own the con-
cern-the workmen at the benches
or the man who gradually built up
the industry by initiative, ability,
thrift, and integrity?
The answer is clear. There we're
undoubtedly ten thousand other
shoemakers' apprentices who had
exactly the same opportunity as
this man. Some of them had equal
integrity but lacked the skill. Some
had both integrity and craftsman
ship but lacked the business saga
city necessary to build and manage
a large and complicated enterprise.
Some of them may have had the
skill and organizing ability, but
lacked thrift, and never could save
enough to enlarge their business.
Others had ability and thrift, but
yielded to the temptation to make
profits at the sacrifice of
honesty, and they never built up a
reputation that would sell their
goods. For one reason or another,
the vast majority continued as wage
earners or small operators while the
few became proprietors of large
factories, giving profitable employ
ment to large numbers of men.

airy were lis per cent lighter than

Withal however. the bank reports
retail trade as extremely spotty: stores

port differing experiences. Reduced
prices" says the bank, backed by good
quality. are attracting purchasers, but
highly advertised sales in which CHEAP
grades OF goods are offered are being
totally neglected.
Fluctuating prices and spotty de-
mand for seamless hosiery are con
trasted with 4 strong demand for full
fashioned stockings, and the continual
ton Of strike in most OF the full
fashioned mills in the district is re-
ported by the bank. The district is one
OF the largest production centers in the
country for hosiery and underwear.
Hosiery firms selling the wholesale
trade reported production in February
at 20 per cent greater than January, but
81 per cent less than in February. 1920.
Stocks on hand were lis per cert less

Rug Prices Still Lower
Slight Decline From Opening
Day at Auction

Rug prices at the auction now IN
progress at Alexander Smith & Sons
carpet Company yesterday showed a
slight decline from the general level
of prices established ON Monday and
averaged around 40 per cent lower
than the list prices on the goods sold,
issued last November.
Despite the sagging in prices, buy
ing continued widespread throughout
the day, retailers and small iobbers
from all sections of the country being
the main supporters of the sale The
bag Jobbers are operating conserva-
lively and it ia noticed that their buy
ing is confined mainly to those good 5
that can be obtained at 81 to 81 be-
