When yqu stop to compare the price of clothing with other commodities you find it is very reasonable. For instance, in 1914 it required 50 bushels of corn to buy a $25 suit; now this same 50 bushels will buy a $60 suit. 98 pounds of but ter would buy a $25 suit in 1914 and now it will buy a $55 or $60 suit. In 1913 a bricklayer had to work 5514 hours to earn a $25 suit; now he can earn a $50 or $60 suit in the same length of time. An unskilled laborer had to work 100 hours 5 years ago to buy a $25 suit; now he can buy a $45 or $47 suit by working 95 hours. And so we could go on with other examples. We have plenty of good suits from $45 to $60 which, by tne com parisons above are within just as easy reach as a $25 one used to be.
