"WISE GUYS."
A few wise guys sneer at the officers
of labor unions. Men who make an
honest effort to benefit their fellow
men are ridiculed by a class who
would starve to death if their parents
had not left them enough to live on.
Officers of labor unions will keep on
doing good for mankind. They do not
expect anything but abuse from the
class which does not know what labor
is. Washington Trades Unionist.
1 CCORDING to our mode of reasoning the
j I man who does manual labor, skilled or not,
I requires a shirt at least as roomy in pro
portion as the banker or professional man who
does none.
U Yet is it not true in general, that proportions of
shirts vary according to price? Low priced shirls
are generally narrow, skimpy shirts irrespective
of the figures they are to clothe.
tT RED SEAL and UNICORN shirts regardless of
price are designed and cut with the single idea of
furnishing comfort and service to the prospective
wearer.
ff This compels uniform fulness irrespective
of price. ,
