PEAR’S OUTPUT OF COAL SHOWN BY TRADE BODY 212 Standard Indiana Mines Produce 25,319,568 Tons in 12 Months. CAR SUPPLY IMPROVES Tentative reports of bituminous coal mined in ‘tie State of Indiana during j 1920, compUed by the Indiana coal trade Bureau and covering the output of 212 standard shipping mines, show that the total tonnage produced during the year was 25,319,568. It is estimated that when j the reports on the entire 219 standard .shipping mines es the State are complete Ytoat the total tonnage will exceed 28,000,000 tons This does not Include the tonnage of the wagon mines. The months of October, November and December, with a production respectively 1 of 2,512,799. 2,568,647 and 2,621,824 tons, were the greatest producing months of the year and in this connection it is significant to note that the heavy decline in the general market price began in the latter part of October and prices continued to go down during November and December. PRICE AFFECTED BY CAB SHORTAGE. Had the car supply -conditions been as favorable during the spring and summer months as they were tho last quarter of the year, the coal shortage sit- ] ration would not have existed. Neither would the high prices of the coal short- , age period have prevailed as the figures | demonstrate that prices follow the law of supply and demand. Tonnage \psses during the year, due to car shortage and other transportation disability and labor trouble totaled 15,682,805 tons. Os this total, a loss o 12,243,661 tons, or approximately 60 per cent of the actual production for the year, is ascribed to car shortage. Approximately 4,000.000 tons were lost on account of the car shortage during the switchmen’s 6trike of April and May, while the remaining 8,000.000 tons of loss on account of car shortage was distributed throughout the other ten ten months of the year. The largest tonnage loss on account of labor trouble was caused in the months oi July and August, when the strike of the day men was on. The tonnage loss in that period was approximately 2,000.000 tons. RECORD OF YEAR’S PRODUCTION.

To put this idea across

How This Tailor Shop Jumped to Third Place Within a Year A year ago this month I quit “making clothes for the trade” and announced my intentions of building a business of my own. I put an ad. in the papers. I promised to make clothes from all-wool materials at very much lower prices than was then charged. I explained, in my crude way, just how and why I could make clothes for less. My policy was (and still is) to hold down overhead expense; to pay good salaries to cutters and tailors who would not loaf on the job; to sell only for cash; to buy most of my woolens direct from the mills; to guarantee satisfaction; to make nothing but all-wool suits; to give deposit back if asked for. The first week I sold twenty suits, the second week, twenty-eight suits. Some weeks I received orders for more than seventy-five suits. My policy proved right. Ninety-five per cent, of my customers were pleased and sent their friends to me. About five per cent, of the suits I made came back —some for alteration, some because a relative did not like the pattern and some because my tailors had done a bad job. In every instance, whether it was my fault or the customer’s imagination, I either returned the deposit or made fair settlement. I have up to now made very little money for myself, but I am building. I have patience. I know that with big volume and a little profit on each suit, I will make more money in the long run than I can with small volume and big profits. The majority of my original customers have ordered for the second and third times. I have sufficient business sagacity to know that if I expect to grow I must please my patrons. But to please a patron you must first inspire him to place his initial order. The purpose of this ad. is to persuade you and 999 other men to let me make you one suit of clothes or an overcoat. If you will let me do this, I know what the outcome will be. You will probably say that my shop is not conveniently located; that you hate to climb one flight of stairs and you will probably note the absence of fine fixtures and sleek looking young men salesmen. But you will find a real tailor shop with a big selection of- all-wool patterns at a price much below that ordinarily charged. You will be waited on and your measure taken by a practical tailor —not a silver-tongued orator. I will have made a friend of you and it is through my friends that I expect to be the second largest tailoring establishment in the state by December 31,1921. LEON ETTINGER.

T T7AIIT TAILORING LHUII COMPANY • -c \ • 131 EAST NEW YORK STREET

costs me $3,7 7 6 Os this sum $776.00 will be paid t</The Times, Star and News for publishing this announcement; the $3,000.00 represents my entire profit on the 1,000 suits and overcoats which I propose to make for my customers at net cost This is not Philanthropy! It is a straight business deal by which I expect to make money - eventually To say that T am giving up a legitimate profit on one thousand suits and overcoats simply for philanthropic reasons or to say that I am giving something for nothing, would be tommyrot—pure and simple. My reason and sole reason for doing this is to build up my organization to a point where I will have 1,000 regular customers on my books. My growth from that time on will be automatic. With one thousand men saying that “Leon will make you a better suit for less money than any other tailor in the state,” nothing can stop my progress. Last winter I broke the back bone of high prices. It’s up to the men of Indianapolis to help me keep the prices of clothing at a sane level. 7 During the year T have built up the third largest tailoring establishment in the city. This year it is my ambition to be the second largest in the city. If, by the expenditure of a little money and the sacrifice of a little profit I can reach my goal, I will consider my time and money well spent. Here, then, is my proposition to 1.000 men —to old friends and new * * I will make from all-wool materials a Made-to-Measure Os TfTT $ OVERCOAT or ijUl 1 <I |— At exactly cost to me, which 13 a jflj:/ I will give you unrestricted choice of more than eighty all-wool suit patterns or choice of twelve allwool overcoat materials. Every suit or overcoat made at this price ($30.50) will bear this guarantee: It will equal in quality, fit and workmanship the made-to-measure suits and overcoats selling generally at $50.00. The material will be all-wool, the buttonholes (except trousers) to be hand-made with pure silk thread; the coat front to be built up with genuine imported Belgian canvas, which is pure linen. The entire suit or overcoat —materials, workmanship and fit, must be to your satisfaction or you need not take it. I won’t let you take it.
