Cloth that formerly cast $3 and up a yartl is
now $7 and up.
Lining silik that formerly cost $1.50 and up a
yard is now $4.50 and. up. '
Trimmings have gone up 300.
Labor, as everyone knows, has gone up, at least
double.
In each of the above cases, the. rise is much over
double previous prices. '
Yet-
The Merchant Tailor who formerly made your
suit to measure for $50 now gets $100 ana so
on up the line which is only twice as much.
And it costs him more than twice as much to
produce it.
His is a profession calling for the highest degree
of skill yet his profit today is far less than it
was when he charged half as much. And yxf
unthinking persons say that made-to-measure
'clothes are higher priced than they should be!
