Lower Clothing
Prices Sought
Retailers to Discuss Reduction
at Chicago Convention in
September.
Ily '\nMlriaterl
Chicago. April 30.—How to get
clothing to the customer at the low
est price, or in other words a lesson
in tiie reduction of overhead expense
similar In character to an abbreviated
university course, will lie offered to
everyone "ho attends the 10th anni
versary convention and exposition of
the National Association of Retail
Clothiers which will he held here dur
ing the last week of September.
According to the arrangements
made by Charles E. Wry, executive
director of iho association, every one
who addresses the convention will
place particular emphasis upon this
important subject.
"The retail clothing dealer who fa
vors high prices, if there still exists
such a merchant," said Mr. Wry
while discussing the preparatory
work of the convention and exposi
tion. “is standing in hi* own light.
We had one sad experience with high
prices not so very long ago, anrKit
taught us a lesson. High prices don't
mean big profits to the dealer by any
incans. In fact they mean Just the
opposite. What we are endeavoring
to do all the time, and what we are
going to emphatically drive home to
rveryone who visits our convention
and exposition, is that reasonable
prices brought about by economy in
overhead expense, such as rents, ef
f cicncy in handling goods and other
incidentals to the handling of cloth
ing mean reasonable profits and sat
i-fied customers.
"A careful survey of the clothing
industry hy qualified experts resulted
in this conclusion, and this lesson is
going to be taught at our convention
and exposition morning, noon and
night."

Reserve Board
Issues Warning
Statement Says Continuance
of Credit Demand W ill Lead
to Heavy Borrowing.
Washington, April 30.—The federal
reserve hoard, in a formal statement
last night, again calls attention to the
rapid expansion of credit demand and
industrial production and warns that
"a continuance ot this credit demand
! must soon result in increased borrow
] ings by banks which are members of
rite federal reserve system of the
! federal reserve banks.”
While the statement was issued
a a summary of April business, it
deals exclusively with the erfedit and
, production situation and threads
I through it, a comparison with condi
• tions in 1921. ,
In its discussion of the expanding
production, the board declares "sub
stantial’ increase in Ihe demand for
c urrency is in prospect if the rapid
growth of payroll amounts continue*
as it has since the middle of 1122.
Should more currency lie needed, the
hoard adds, the banks will seek
greater accommodation from the re
j serve banks to secure the additional
i currency issued.
"The present lending capacity of the
country's banking system In view of
tlie great growth of the rserves
at the reserve hanksj.' the state
inert says, "is not far in excess of the
credit needs of the country's produc
tive capacity. In such a situation, it
is the available supplies of labor and
equipment and not the potential sup
ply of credit that, in the end.
| must fix the limit which may he at
tained by iigg-recate national product
I tion. As these limits are approached,
credit policy must he increasingly in
fluenced by careful consideration of
: the continued effectiveness of further
i additions to the total volume of
creditor in contributing to increased
productivity.”
