thing to perfect fits Is correct meas
ure and description Of figure.
"These variations cannot be made
in shoes. as the shoe has to be made
over wooden last and an individual
shoe cannot be made without max
ing special last at a good deal OF
expense.
'"The use Of the block pattern saves
a great deal of time and expense and
assures greater accuracy The cost
of individually tailored clothes today
is very little more than ready to
wear clothes and the cost of getting
them to the public is much less. The
big tailoring houses are the back
shops for the statesmen without. any
overhead or duplication of stock"
Mr.. Ingraham has found a grow
ing sentiment in favor of tailor made
clothes. He carries on an extensive
cleaning, pressing and repairing bust
ness for mems, women's and chill
dren's clothes, using the latest Hoff-
mans steam system for pressing,
recently installed.

OBSERVING HIS,
BOTH BUSINESS
ANNIVERSARY

Edward II. Ingraham is today to
celebrate his 30th anniversary in
business.
But his connection with the affairs
of Water street really goes back
farther than that. After spending
ten years in the ready made business
with III. 5. Blaisdell Sherburne q
Daily and l.. L. Davis Company he
went in business for himself. taking
up the made to measure work OF
mems clothes, tailored by the larger
and more modern shops 80 years ago
Mr.. Ingraham saw the passing of
the small back shop where clothes
were made and the possibilities of
the larger and more modern shops
Gas the method of making shoes in
one man cobbler shops has long since
passed to the big modern shops
where lasts are made to fit any FOOT.
Thirty five years ago there were
very many small tailor shops nearly
all of which are now gone" said Mr.,
Ingraham Friday in discussing BUSH
ness changes. "One of the early diff
ficulties to overcome in this work
was to convince men that they could
be fitted without several try-ons as
had been their habit with the LOCAL
tailor. This was gradually overcome
by results. Wanamaker and Brown
of Philadelphia were among the
pioneers in this work. 1 sold their
line until larger and better con-
Germs took up the work.
I'm the succeeding years men drift
ed largely to ready to wear clothes
because of the higher costs in having
individually tailored clothes. This
added cost has been entirely over
come by the more modern methods.
One person no longer takes gar
ment and completes it. Every gar
ment goes through many hands, each
one a specialist on particular part
of the garment, with a machine and
press adapted to his particular
part, This greatly increasing the
speed and efficiency. Each season
models are selected from the best de-
signs in the country. Patterns are

GRAND Jury TO
GET NEW FACTS
IN TODD AFFAIR
Detectives Ready to Testify
Regarding Death of
Wife.

With verdict Of accidental death
rescinded by Coroner Paul F. Robin
son, detectives today awaited an op-
portunity to present to the Marion
County grand jury new evidence in
the death of Mrs. Mary Todd, 35, of
935 Church st. Mrs. Todd died of
a bullet wound at her home Aug. 3,
with only her husband, Rucker Todd,
former street car motorman, present.
The shooting was held accidental
by the coroner, but he has never
filed his finding in the county clerks
office. He stated the situation to
Circuit Judge Harry o. Chamberlain
and followed the courts advice to
rescind the finding of accidental
death, return an open verdict and
thus leave the case open for grand
jury inquiry.
At the time Of his wife's death,
Todd said that while he was remov-
ing cartridges from a revolver in
her presence, he started to close the
weapon and it was discharged.
Todd is held in the county Jail on
an. embezzlement charge, growing
out of the alleged theft and sale of
street car tickets belonging to the
Indianapolis Street Railway Com
pany. Accused with him is his wife's
cousin. Mrs. Nora Briggs, "a, of ESQ
w. Ray St., and Sam Richman, 81,
Of 1917 Charles st.
At the time of the arrests in the
embezzlement case after the tragedy,
John Mulvihill, father of Mrs. Todd,
and Harry Raltano, an attorney and
former employer, interceded for
Mrs. Briggs and incidentally barred
alleged discord in the married life
of the Todds.
