aomit that their volume suffered. and
IN TACT that In their individual busi
nesses demand now appears to be
growing is taken by them ms an in.
dication that the turn in the tide has
set in.
The experience of one Fifth Avenue
retailer, who confines his business IN
one commodity, is illustrative. He sells
only high quality merchandise. and his
prices are high and always have been.
HIS customers are mainly drawn from,
inc wealthy class. Last year was one
OF his poorest years. Although he
dropped his prices IA conformity with
the reduction in material and produc- :
ton costs, many of his customers re-
FUSED to buy his merchandise at the
prices he asked. Within the last few
weeks. howeve. some Of his old GUS
toners have came back to him. They
tell him that they have tried out lower
priced merchandise bought in other
stores, but that it failed to give the
satisfaction to which they were ac
customed. Although stu caviling at
the prices he is asking they are buy
ing the merchandise more readily.
A manufacturer Of shoes in Broollyn
who turns out only high quality foot
wear Tor women, stated that within the
past two weeks ten retailers from
widely different sections of the coun-
try have made unsolicited inquiries
concerning his product. In each case
10 xsteilers have been handling lower

II ant Better Goods

"These retailers said the manu-
facturer, would not be initiating nc
gotiations to handle our. shoes unless
they had some indication that better
qualities than they are now carrying
are in demand. Fortunately we have
two retail shops of our own, which we
use as laboratories to try out various
ideas that we think are applicable to
retailers in general. Our store man
ayers are now reporting that business
is growing more active. In other words
the demand for quality merchandise is
broadening"
Only last week the subject of i'm
perfec lions in silk furnished one of the
principal topics of discussion at the
convention of the Associated Dress
Manufacturers of America. One dress
manufacturer stated on the floor OF the
convention that 95 per cent of the
merchandise returned to him by re-
tailers was sent back because Of i'm
perfections in the silk goods of which
the dresses were made.
The sales manager of prominent
silk manufacturing firm replied that
the imperfcctions were the result of
the constant driving for lower prices;
that in order to meet the price dress
manufacturers and others were will
ing to pay for silk goods the mills
we're forced tc cal upon their weavers
to produce more goods in a given time

in order to cut down production ex-
pense.
Other silk men say that poor raw
material also is to blame for the large
number of imperfections that appear in
silks. This, too, is the result of de
sire to cut down production costs
Some Of the dress manufacturers pres
ent expressed their willingness to pay
little more for their silk goods if
greater perfection could be obtained
interviewed after the convention, sew
cral OF these dress manufacturers said
that recently stronger demand for
| quality merchandise has appeared and
that they no longer feel the necessity
for producing apparel in which the
price consideration is uppermost.
Public Bargain-Shy
"The public" Alvin E. Dodd, manager
of the domestic distribution depart
mcnt Of the Chamber Of Commerce OF
the United States. last week told a con
vention-oi retailers in Ohio, "has grown
suspicious, and rightly suspicious, Of
bargains.
"Pcrhaps the most c!amorous prob
lem merchants face to-day is the ques-
tion Of retail prices and the justifca-
ZION Wntcn mefCDantS can OHer Tor nOt
selling commodities for considerably
less than they are forced TO pay for
them. There seems to be general i'm
preston that every article which the
merchant offers to the public in this
period Of price readjustment should be
a bargain, and how the merchant is tc
fill his inventories with bargains only
and pass them on to the public as bar
gains is one Of the problems he faces
In these words Mr.. Dodd goes to the
heart OF the matter. The trouble is
according to some of the more clear
thinking business men, that mer-
chants and manufacturers themselves
have become imbued with the bargain
idea and are holding to it now, even ir
the face Of slowly but surely turn
ing public opinion. Some of these
business men feel that the purchasing
power of the public has been under
estimated. A shining example is the
fact that one retail store in New Eng
land has sold within the last twc
months $4,000 worth OF radio tele
phone receiving sets in a factory towr
where unemployment has been biz
factor for the last year.

FARMERS SEEKING
 ID AVOID DEBTS
Labor Is Now Plentiful. Gist ReportS-Weather Not
 Favorable


 Montgomery, April 2.-tspeciai)-- Alabama farmers are enterting the crop season with the determination to grow their crops this year at the | least possible expense and without going Into debt, according to the first statement regarding conditions issued today by F. W. Gist. federal and state crop statistician for Alabama. MT Gist said farm labor Is plentiful, but farmers are determined to do all the work possible themselves in or der to reduce the investment in the crops.
 Weather during March was not favorable in the state and MT. Gist reported that farm work is delayed. Rain is the main cause as the tenn perature was about normal How ever. the delay is not serious and can be removed if the state has less rain, | more good work days and little hustling on the part of the farmer. Mir. Gists report on crop conditions continued:
 NO corn is reported as planted in fields as yet, but likely some has gone in on the south border. The price has advanced something over 20
  this will encourage the attempted growth of plenty and to spare. j, preparation for cotton has pro gressed as far as weather would per init. and advices still indicate an in- creased acreage. However, nothing SO far indicates 3 probable unsafe acreage beyond reasonable bounds in this state.
 Peanuts are slowly advancing to
 
 continuation of sufficient growth to keep Alabama in the lead with thls crop,
 "Oats and wheat are looking fine, and lots of tho former are growing, especially in middle Alabama.
 "Castieberry is shipping strawber- ries; Montgomery county will have 100 acres on the market later for the first season; Fort Payne has about 15O acres, with a cooperative selling association, which will extend to other produce crops.
 The commercial potato acreage in the Mobile district, comprising Mo- bile, Baldwin, Escambia, Conecuh and Monroe will be large this year. pos sibly reaching 10000 acres. Geneva county has brought in a new com mercial area for this crop.
 "A repetition of last years acre. age to watermelons is indicated, with possibly new sections going into their growth; there is some uneasiness that the production of watermelons may be overdone this year.
 "The state has sold nearly twice as many fertilizer tags as up to this date last year, but not yet so many as in 1920. Nitrate supplies are re- ported very short at the ports, and II is likely that with the increased price of these goods the sale may soon fall off Mixed goods will be used this year so far as safety and finances will permit.
 "Livestock are in good condition and hogs are holding their popularity with fair prices; beef cattle are los ing interest with very low prices; milk holds up fairly well, as do chickens and eggs, though the latter are lower than for some months

 The action followed an able expla- nation of the plan by J. D. Coglan, a Texas farmer and member of the Texas Farm Bureau Cotton associa- ton, which has been and Is being op- erated on a plan identical to that proposed by the Farm bureau in Ala hama

 Almost heart-broken, handed it to her. To me it was almost mean ingless and I was greatly disap- pointed in my part. Apparently I would only have a few minutes on the screen, with a change of costume every minute
