National highway.
This much for the outlook in general, hut now lo take it in particular as relates to the buying and
selling r" clothing, we think we can speak a little more definitely and advisedlv. Ye have been studvin this
phase ot he situation very closely for days, for that is our business, and think we are able to forecast with
some th ;ree of accuracy what you may expect in this j.anicular line. A threat deal has been said and written
lately ab.nt the price f clothing, but much of it is tnisieadin- siinplv the product of some reporter's fertile
imatnn.vion. We wish that their assumptions and statements were true, because, strange as it mav seem. 7iT
( not t -;; lo srr dohint any hither. However, the. sad truth remains, that "a condition and not a theorv
con t roil us," and until we overcome that condition we cannot look for lower prices in respect to clothing.
The high cost of clothing is but the result of the operation of fundamental economic principles. In other
words, tl..' law of supply and demand is working at the old stand. Let us look at a few facts. The world war has taken
thirty m :iion men out of the avenues of production and m-ide consumers of them. Every one of these thirty million men
has requ red an equipment" of clothing far in excess of his average requir ments in civil life. Just think of the under
wear, so.-, and shirts and uniform, jacket, pants and overcoats, and overalls and sweaters and caps and gloves and blank
ets and nts and many other subsidary items that have made a tremendous draft upon the cotton and wool of the world
as well j.s the manufacturing facilities. The large part of this equipment has been supplied by the United States in ad
dition to taking care of the needs of the civilian population. Thi:; has so greatly overbalanced supply and demand in this
particular line that nothing but time and intensive production can return it to normal. On this last named item production-
we are seriously falling down because of the demands of labor for shorter hours. To make the situation more
acute t'l. le Sam demobilized about four million men in 1919, and here's what happened: Every one of thee four million
men was o tired of the ARMY ISSrE outfit, that he ditched it as soon as possible and bought all the way from one to
four t:ev "Civ" outfits from underwear to overcoat. Just figure this up for yourself and see how many million gar
ments ot men's wear were bought in a short space of time. This, coupled with the feverish buying of the public at
large, h;.- simply cleaned up the visible supply of most every article we handle, until today we ane facing a market that
is absolutely bare. Instead of pushing the sale of his product the manufacturer allots to us, and every other merchant,
large or mall, the quantity we can buy. based upon our firmer purchases. Many houses are not even rending out rep
resentatives at all. There is practically a famine on right now in our line. I?i face of these facts are we not justified
in saying there is no hope of lower prices in Men's Wear for this year, Ol'TSIDL OF A MIRACLE?
We think you ought to know this as it may tave you from higher prices later on by forewarning you. You
have her:: expecting lower prices and so have we, and in seme lines we may get them this year here's hoping but lie
cause of the above peculiar conditions in the clothing world, we cannot expect lower prices there. We do not advise
you to o'-rbuy but we do say buy ail you actually need at present prices they will look cheap to you later on.
