They will, in all pro. ability, he produced in tli United States. The demand will induce the supply and this same condition will prevail with regard to ;i number of things for which we have hertofre dept-nded upon Kurope." Mr. Khhedu-e beliees that the genius of the American peca le will measure t'p to lirop, 's ina ility to furnish tho toys. diamond chemials. etc.. which hae heretofore been considered .ncapable of American prodii(tin.

The Kllsworth store reju.rts business normal and iooks for continued healthy conditions during the fall. They have bought their usual amount of merchandise and were luck to have their buyers in the eastern markets before war was declared so they are in a position to take care of their customers' needs for the next six months at old low prices. llv that time they believe the situation will have cleared as the world must have foodstuffs and manufactured uood.s and American farmers and manufacturers can supply them. "Our August business was 1 per cent better than the same month last year says ;eori;e A. Ilohertson of the Robertson Tiros, store. "We are retaining our usual force of clerks nnd expect to have plenty for th-m to do, and plentv of material on hand for thcr.i to sell. Our imported gloves for the season are here: our supply of foreign made handkerchiefs are in bond, and our silks are reported coming. Some imports may be stopped, but their equivalent will be supplied hy American manufacturers who will measure up to the situation as circumrtances require. The scarcity of foreign labor in foreign shops, duo to the war, will stimulate American industry, and while shipments from Europe to this country may fall off. shipments from this country to Kurope and South America are bound to Increase." Mr. Robertson points out from the Trr Goods Economist, a trade paper lu Ms line, that I nited States manufacturers in the textile line as for instance In Lawrence and Manchester, the big American centers, are planning to increase their business along entirely new lines, calculating to supply a demand that has heretofore come from Europe almost exclusively. X War lrUv a Yet. Same as with Wyman's. Ellsworth's and the other stores, Mr. Robertson announces no such thing as war prices on anything at present in ,tock. or on anything purchased m advance of wholesale war prices. This means old juites on everything for approximately jux months to come. "We have everything in tow that wc nerd for the winter." says T. H. I'randon. secretary and general m mager of the Rrar.-lon-PurreU i'o.. "and I can see no reason why unvote In South I'end has need to worry. It looks as though th- manufacturers would be tailed upon to furnish the wcrklr.gmcn with labor, the banks rre safe and willing to help, and assuming that other merchants are ab

To follow his Interview at length would be merely t review much that has been quoted from the other merchants. His store is stocked. He is prepared for the winter.
