TAILORS HERE SAY PRINCE HAD
NO INFLUENCE ON STYLES.
“Sartorially speaking, the recent
visit of the Prince of Wales was a
flivver,” said one of Philadelphia’s
leading tailors recently.
And a similar opinion was express-
i by other tailors and men’s outfit-
ers.
“The Prince’s visit was a great dis-
appointment to many,” continued the
tailor. “His pictures show him wear-
ing only two sack suits, a double-
breasted stripe and a single-breasted
plaid. He wore virtually only one
style of hat. And in all that he
showed his good taste. He didn’t try
to be a fop. But he might as well
have stayed on the other side so far
as his influence on dress was concern-
ed.
“Such things don’t affect the tailors
one bit, anyway. They have no set
style, but create individuality. That
is not true of the ready-made stores,
which must create styles to sell them.
“In the future the American public
can look to America and not to Eng-
land to set the styles. America is so
far ahead there is no comparison. To-
day the American people are thinking
more about personal appearance and
are paying more attention to clothes
than ever before.
“Where the English lead is that
they are always particularly well
groomed for that very moment. Also
they produce the finest clothes in the
world. But the American people are
rapidly coming to pay more attention
to dressing for the occasion.”
Other tailors and buyers for large
houses said that all the clothes the
Prince affected had been popular in
this country a long time. The double-
breaster coat, the straight unbroken
line, and the blue shirt were mention-
ed as examples.
“Some of the interest in these styles
might be attributed to the Prince's
visit, but very little,” said one large
buyer. “Seeing him here may have
more bearing on spring styles which
will be made up in about a month.”
“The Prince’s visit here has done
some good in increasing sales,” said
another buyer. “Anything is good
that awakens the people’s interest in
clothes and gets them thinking about
their personal appearance. On the
other hand, the American people don’t
like to ape anyone and I think few
persons would buy certain clothes
merely because the Prince of Wales
or any one else was wearing that
style.”
The same man went on to speak of
the recent awakened interest men dis-
play toward their dress.
“They are not nearly so conserva-
tive,” he said. “They are wearing
tweeds and stripes and colors. The
variety of styles and colors has been
brought about largely by golf and the
use of sport clothes. It isn’t because
of what some person happens to be
wearing.”
So, summing it all up, the most
these men, whose business it is to
know what the men are wearing, will
grant H. R. H. is that he showed good
being worn by well-dressed Americans
and that he had more things to oc-
cupy his time than being a display for
fall and winter modes.
Western Lettuce Industry.
Science and desire have worked out
a curious industrial development in
the west—the growing of head lettuce
for all the year delivery. Three years
ago the Granby district in Colorado,
8,000 feet elevation, was only a cat-
tle station in a sagebrush sea; today
they have 1,000 acres of head lettuce,
ready to feed the city millions. The
Idaho sagebrush country is producing
head lettuce; the fertile North Idaho
logged-off lands; the irrigated lands
of Eastern Washington; and up in
Montana they are growing trainloads
of the green stuff.
Lettuce is “good for what ails you,”
the doctors say; it has vitamines and
iron and no end of strengthening eie-
ments that mankind ought to want to
eat. Wth the development of a re-
frigerated car system so that it can
| be delivered safely even through the
winter, it is coming almost instantly
to be one of the staple foods of the
‘United States.

Not for one instant, day or night, holiday or weekday, is
even the smallest Bell Central Office closed. There are
12,000 Pennsylvania young women who operate the
switchboard.
|
Practically every highway has its Bell lines for furnishi
service to the rural dwellers, and for connecting cities a
towns with Long Distance wires. Hundreds of men are
constantly watching and testing these wires.
| Thirteen new Bell Telephone buildings are being com-
pleted in 1924. Eight others were started and will be com-
esides, ten major additions to other
buildings were finished.
The Telephone
Service Job—
HE handling of your own calls, perhaps
the ten or a dozen made each day from vour
residence telephone, seems to you to present nc §
great problem. “One telephone, one pair ot
wires, and an operator to do the switching!’
notice.
One Policy
Multiply that telephone by nine hundred thou-
sand. Multiply that pair of wires by 910,000
other pairs. Multiply that operator by 12,000
other operators. Add 468 buildings, 6,000
switchboard positions, 3,400,000 miles of under-
ground and aerial plant, and 11,000 construction
and maintenance men, engineers, accountants
and clericals—and you have the recipe for fur-
nishing Pennsylvania's telephone service.
But volume is not the all-important element.
Nor the fact that it is a twenty-four-hour-a-day
job, seven days a week. Complication presents
the big difficulty.
Each subscriber at any second may call any one
of the thousands of telephones in his exchange,
or any of the 900,000 elsewhere in the state, or
beyond. His every call comes without advance
him at all times, regardless of distance and
without detour or delay.
It’s a big job.
