the production of potatoes and
O1erc0dtS.t
"Overcoat makers can syrnpa-
tlnize with potato farmers. Occa-
sionally farmers plant too many
potatoes, the crop is big, the price
SO low it hardly pays to dig. The
next year farmers plant too few
potatoes, and the price goes out of
reach.
That happened this year to
makers of overcoats; they made
100 many xmas. GOOu HldnuIdC-'
turers are overstocked with coats
they don t want to carry through
another year, and they are cutting
to the bone This may interest
you, if you need an overcoat.
Next year, remembering their
burnt fingers of 1o23-1924, over
coats manufactured will probably
be too few. Then, prices will be
above normal.
