ARE AFTER HIM Retail Clothiers are Mobilizing Forces for a War on the Profiteer THE MAN THEY WANT Three Day Conference ia Being Held—Cooperating with Government (United Press Service) Chicago, Jan. 13—(Special to Daily Democrat) — The national retail clothiers association today mobilized their forces for war on the profiteer. A three day conference at which I. members of the association were expected opened today with its prime purpose to arrange full cooperation with the government in keeping prices on clothing as low as possible. "The situation is one that calls for uniform action on the part of all dealers.” said H. E. King of Seattle. Wn., a national director of the association and a member of the executive committee. The retail business is facing the most serious crisis in its history. Our job is not to figure how much profit we can make but how long we can keep our losses. ‘‘Competition between reputable dealers keeps prices on dependable merchandise from rise beyond the necessary level. The government 1: directing its efforts toward finding vFhere savings in the conduct of business can be made. If anyone can show us where expenses can be cut. that is what we desire most heartily. “The truth is that we are facing the largest demand for high grade -lothmg in history while production is lower than it has been in years. This is the condition which must be remedied.” Conferences have been arranged with H. N. Figg, special assistant in Attorney General Palmer in the fair price war, to discuss methods for bringing down clothing prices. The Research club met with Mi - J. N. FTistoe yesterday afternoon a: J had a most delightful meeting w: : Mrs. Sti Its as leader. Her sub.H t was “The Bible In Literature.” Ne\t weeks meeting will be with Mrs. J. C Sutton and Mrs. Charles Tinkliam will have the paper. 1 1 " ~ ■ — * -SCRAPS- -I ♦ ♦********* + + «b + * The American Legion is busy in Arizona, placing aboard convenient freight cars ail who evaded military service.

To Our Employees The Company’s reputa- 1 tion is in your hands. I --O’ Never attempt to take advantage of a patron. The Company wants no reve ue it doesnot earn Remember that you are in the Public as wel as the I his Company recognizes ils obligations to the public and the conduct of each individual employee should so demonstrate.
