ber of uThe Men's Outfitter" and submit it in corroboration of what we have maintained all along: 1 "Surely one of the most promising indications of a great future for tbe Clothing in this Ocuntry ia the fact thai each year the amount of fine garments manufactured show a considerable increase oyer the out pat of the year preyiout. ji It ihowa oODoluaively that" men are now wearing ready-made clothing who a few years ago could not hare been induced to do so. 1 i' "There must be lome underlying reason for tbii great change. Reyolutions are not effected without a causa. The principal reason why ready-made clothes are growing in favor is the fact they are well made.

The Manufacturers realizing that a demand existed for as well made garments as the tailors prodaoei, at a smaller eost, sei themselyes to work to supply this demand. How well they have succeeded may be judged from the results Not so many years ago a man could not wear 'store clothes' without being detected. His secret could not be oonoealed as the clothes themselyes would- proclaim their own origin. This is not the oase at the present time, thanks to the rapid strides made in the art of cutting and finishing! i i "The" most experienced artists are employed by the leading manufacturers to look after the" cutting and designing of garments Many of these men receive as high as $7,000 or $8,000 a year salary. A firm which is known for the fit, style and finish of its raiment has mastered the greatest difficulty on the road of success.

The public is well educated aa a rule as to the fit and style of clothing, and as a consequence maaufaeturers are of necessity forced to aim at a high standard of excellence, even if of their own choice they are not disposed to do so. Competition nowadays is not so much between clothes and clothier as between the ready-made clothing trade and merchant tailoring. It might be- set down as an axiom that men will buy where they can get goods cheapest, provided the quality is the same. "In the ease of the sooalled popular tailors two-thirds of the snits they make are sold under $25 each. It is SO at least in the larger cities.
