$ The Clothing Situation is Critical
THF; clothing manufacturers estimate
there is about one suit ot clothes to
every three men in the United States,
and sav that it will be sometime beiore
this situation can be relieved.
There are several things that have
caused this condition.which are as fol-
lows: DuiinK the year 1918 the gov-
ernment controlled all wool in this
countrv, and released very little, and
greatly reduced the cloth and yarn
supply on hand. When hostilities
stopped in November there was no
production, because it was impossible
to estimate any price basis, or to see
clearlv what market was going to ex-
ist- Suddenly the demand came,when
between four and live millions of our
armv and navv men began fo be turned
back to civil life and wanted civilian
cl «thing, and the mills having been
commandeered by the government to
make up the wool into cloths for our
armv and navy, and having accumu-
lated large stocks of same, there was
naturaMy a shortage of cloths for civ-
ilian clothing. Then the climax came;
when the mills started to manufacture
civilian elotlis they encountered a strike
which completely lied them up, and
the production ol wool cloth from Jan-
uary to June of this ear was only
about twenty to twenty-five per cent
of what it should have been.
mills now have gotten back to a
full capacity production, but the
whole process of making clothing is
Irom sixtv to ninety days behind the
regular schedule time.
Now, we wish to say to our custom-
ers, who are patientiy waiting on us
lor their tall and winter clothing, that
we are do.ng all we ean to hurry de-
liveries, and we hope to be able to be-
gin to get better deliveries soon, but
we cannot make any definite promise
as to when we will receive same.
We know that some of our custom-
ers. who wanted Hart Schaffner &
Marx clothing, have gone ahead and
bought cheaper goods, because they
could not wait any longer, and it is
strange to say that we. as well as other
merchants, have been able to get pretty
lair deliveries ol our cheaper clothing.
This is the situation, and we regret
that we have not been able to supply
our trade their needs in the clothing
line, but it is no fault of i^urs, and
thanking those who Jare so patiently
waiting on us tor jtheir clothes, we
are yours for honest go ous at honest
prices by honest methods.
