Children's Apparel Manufacture
ers to Take Up Subject
at Meeting

The subject Of cancellations and re-
turns of children's ready yto-wear will
be taken up at luncheon meeting of
the children's and infants division of
the Associated Dress Industries of
America to be held at the Hotel Mar
Unique in about three weeks.
"Cancellations and returns are as
prevalent in the children's and infants
wear trade as in the womens trade, if
not more So" said David N. Mosessohn,
executive director Of the association,
yesterday.
"The new division, which was formed
several weeks ago, has grown in mem
bership since its inception, and has now
enough members to take some definite
action pertaining to its own field of op-
Grafton. 1t is not the purpose of this
division to take any arbitrary action
against retailers generally, but to de-
wise some kind of working code, with
the cooperation of retailers, which will
reduce the hazards of doing business.

Cotton Goods House
To Reduce Overhead
Secures Warehouse i'm Lower
Kent District and Leases Out
Part of Its Building

burton Brothers & Co., one Of the
largest and best known cotton goods
converting houses, has found way to
materially reduce its overhead OK
penses and is advising other business
concerns to follow is lead. The con-
Germ has it's own building on Fifth Ave
nue. at Twenty-nnth Street, erected a
few vars ago Recently the firm nego-
tiated a lease for warehouse in the
down town district, near the rail and
water shipping terminals. It's stock de-
partments will be transferred to the
warehouse and the floors now used for
stock purposes in the Fifth Avenue
building will be leased to other bust
ness concerns.
AT this time" says the company,
"it is the duty of every manufacturer
or producer to reduce his overhead and
the cost of production to a minimum
and to sell his products on as close a
basis as possible in order to enable
the retailer in turn to sell to the con-
suming public at the very lowest pos
sible price. If this plan is generally
carried out the cost of living will come
down and men can afford to work for
lower wages"

1921 the government issued treasury
bonds to the value Of 1000 900 900 lire
at per cent, priced at 81, redcemabc
in seven years. The actual interest
was per cent and tlc attraction Of
valuable prizes (the first OF which,
once yoav is 100000 Hre) resulted
in rush and in few days the sub
scription was entirely covered. Now
these bonds are worth 100 lire En-
couraged by it's success, the govern
mcnt recently has bcon authorized to
issue second / 900 O00, 900 lire on the
same conditions. Tho public is in
formed that this does not signify a
debit to meet fresh expenditures, but
is to be used to settle old debts in
Cured for war purposes and for the
economic reconstruction of the prov
inces occupied by the enemy and OF
those annexed by virtue of the peace
treaty.
The director of the Fiat automobile
factory in Turin, Sirnor Agnelli. said
recently iii an interview that his in
dust,y has already surmounted the
most difficult point OF the postwar
crisis and now is rapidly settling
aftel the workers. agitations in 1920,
which eliminated in the occupation of
the factories by tho workers. The
Fiat company is the largest automo-
bile establishment in Europe. Before
the war it employed 1900 men. Dur
ing the war, when it supplied trucks
to France and Russia. and machine
guns to the italian army. this number
increased to $4,000, and at the present
time the workers number 1900.
After the armistice the Fiat com
pany endeavored to turn out Oh a large
scale agricultural machinery and fly
ing machines. but SiGnor Agnelli IS of
the oninion that these should be side
line, owing to the keen competition OF
German agricultural machinery plants
and of the fact that in Italy there are
TO great distances to be covered. and
there fore not much scope for the de
velopment of aviation other than mill
tary.
1t is preferable, he believes, to spe-
cialize in automobile production. in
which Italian industry has become
world famed in the last twenty years
In 1920 about 10000 cars and camions

Jules Verne predicted, seventy five
years ago, the submarine in his Given
ty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea-;
II. G.. Wells. fifteen years ago, when
the airplanc was in its infancy, wrote
of a battle il the air; both of these
wellknown gentlemen required a con-
siderable flight of imagination.
1t doesn't take much imagination,
however, to look many years ahead and
see the future Of Fifty seventh Street
in the logical business development of
New York. A pretty definite concu-
sion may be arrived at by few min
utcs' study Of the history Of New York,
with it's shifting business ccntcrs dur
ing the past hundred years. This city
is undoubtedly developing along logical
lines, and as history repeats, one finds
most interesting precedent for the
belief Of a very great future for Fifty
seventh Street
Looking Back in History
Looking way back among the records
of the great business institutions that
form the backbone of New York to- day,
we find in 1927 Arnold & Hearn, the
Canal Street Lord g. Taylor in 1888
was situated at AZ to 40 Catherine
Street, and in 1853 the retail center
Of New York was between Worth and
Canal streets, with such firms estab-
lishcd in this section as Arnold Con
stable, Seaman g. Muir, James A.
Hearn. Lord Taylor still remaining
IN Catherine Street, soon after moving
to Grand and Chrystie streets. I'm
1883 w. & J. Sloane were at Broadway
and Park Place.
Tho trend Of the retail business
movement has been upward. and as New
York has grown in size and population
this movement has become more rapid
In 1888 the shopping section moved
to Fourteenth Street, with r. II. Macy
& Co. at 204 Sixth Avenue and Tiffany
in Union Square. BY 1878 practically
all of the big stores were located be
tween Tenth and Twenty streets
Broadway to Sixth Avenue.
r. II. Macy & Co. were the first 10
make break away from Twenty-third
street section and move to Thirty
9uIth street; Ihey were followed by
McCreetY and b. Altman & Co.
The progress of the great retail
stores was closely followed by smaller
shops, banks, trust companies and bust
ness buildings, and men came to this
section. The Kniclerboc.,er Trust
Company Building replaced the A. r.

The more recent upward move Of

river above Thirty-fourth Street, it be-
came the next stronghold Of business.
Start OF Firty-seventh Street
The next wide cross street above
Forty second was Fifty-sevontn Street,
About seventeen years ago Michael

the j. II. Kennedy residence, erected a
twelvc-story building, which Bendel
occupied. This move by such an i'm
important merchant was followed by
n number Of smaller shops coming into
the street.
August lleckschcr purchased at that
time the southwest corner properties
on Fifty~scventh Street and on Fifth
Avenue, IN to and adjoining Michael
Dreicer holdings. This included the
former property Of William G. Whit
ncy and Charles H. Morse. On this
property he erected "a three story tax

logical outlet for traffic from the pro-
posed Fifty seventh Street bridge that
will Join New York with New Jersey
The potential possibilities of Fifty
seventh Street are far greater than that
Of Thirty-fOurth or Forty second
streets. It is pla.ned now to widen
Fifty-seventh Street still further, pro
viding space for parking cars down the
middle.
The new location of the j. NJ. Cid
ding building, between Fifty sixth and
Fifty-scventh streets; Duveen Broth
ers, on Fifty sixth Street. and the new
site for Saks', between Forty-ninth and
Fiftieth streets, are all indicative Of the
business trend.
1t is a sane conclusion that in its
development uptown, business will
spread both east and west on Fifty
seventh Street 1t cannot 20 farther
north, for Fifty-seventh Street is the
last broad side street below Central
Park. Therefore, Fifty seventh Street
must remain the permanent keystone in
the new uptown retail section. 1t is
logical to suppose that by spreading
east and west for a few blocks above
Fifty-seventh Street on Madison Ave
nue. and down Fifty seventh Street and
Forty Street on Madison and
Park avenues, the high grade retail
business Of New YORK will find a broad
and permanent stronghold.
Development VIII Spread
The city may open new avenue
jalallel to and midway between Fifth
and sixth avenues, extending from
Forty-second to Fifty ninth streets.
The opening Of this avenue would, un-
ri frlf
value cf Fifty-scventh Street. A NOV
ing sidewalk under Forty seventh and
Fifty-seventh streets also has been dis
cussed FOR some time. The future real
ization of such a project seems in
evitable.
Some day, it has been predicted we
VIII see basement sidewalk and, per
haps, even a basement level street
running from Thirty fourth to Fifty
seventh streets, under Fifth Avenue,
giving the big stores in this section
both basement and street level show
windows. Undoubtedly the way will
come when Central PARK will become
great landing field for airplanes.
The Heckscher Building, the finest
commercial building of its kind in
America, is. undoubtedly, the forerun-
mel Of many more important structures
on fifty-seventh Street. 1t location
will probably make it dominate in the
Fifty y-seventh Street of tomorrow.
This building viii 90 far in aiding
the rapid development 'of Fifty seventh
Street, since it is attracting and oFer-
ing business home for the highest
type Of wholesale and retail merchants
The future Of Fifty-seventh Street.
