In the vjulowof a down-town “gen ta’
furnishing" store is a heap of lineii
collars, a signal »ovet hero says: “Odd
sizes, A rent* eac'i."
u Wliat are the odd sizes in collars ?"
a clerk w«i» asked.
M Anviliing below 14 and above lb i
should sa« was odd,” answered the
young nius behind the counter. “The
average sizt is 15. We sell wore 14*.
15, and 15 i than any other sizes, ’llm
sizes in collars run from 13 to 20i.
Thirtoen is a hoy's size. Wo keep lilt
in stock. A 20 f collar would nearly
slip over the head of a umn wearing a
No. 7 hut. I think we sell more 15
tiian any other one size. It depend* a
good deal < n the class of trade one has.
A collar to set well ought to be half a
size larger than the shirt.*'
“Are collars ever rootle to order?"
“Yes, sometimes. Shirt-makers tako
orders for them and then send the or*
tiers to a collar factory. Usually,
though, the collars that come back are
not just the kind the enstomer wanted.
The best linen collars in the world are
wade in Troy ?"
“Are they patented in any way?"
“Yen. The trade-mark* are copy
righted. The nnmes lire not copy- !
righted, though. There in a collar we i
sell for 25 cents. Within liulf a dozen !
blocks of where we stand you can buy !
a collar with the sanio name for lit ]
cents. It isn't the same collar by any j
muaii*. It won't woar as this one will.
!mt it tv ill sell, and three persons out [
of the would think they were getting a i
bargain."
“iiow about pap»*r collars?"
"We don’t sell sell them. Haven't |
kept them in two or three years. A
good many )>eop!o woar them yet, but
our customers don't want them. Now
and then some fellow who has been on
a spree w ill come in and want to buy
one paper collar. Snell fellows would
bn.V half a collar if they could. I re
member when paper collars flr*t began
to In* worn. I was a youngster then~
tlic devil in a «ountry newspapar otliee
in western New York. The first l»o\ 1
had I paid 35 cents for. When they j
Imnmiiio Milled I past *d clean while !
pu|a*r over them and wore them for mi- \
otlur week. It was not thought to 1*» |
anything ont of tie* way. On the con- J

The fire very unceremoniously moved us
out of our old store on the night of March
26th, where we have been doing business for
over seventeen years, but having secured the
store formerly occupied by J. W. HARRIS &
CO., next door to Waxelbaum’s, on Cotton
Avenue, we are again ready for business.
Some of our stock was damaged by removal,
JJ | and as the insurance companies paid us in full
for all such damages, we are prepared to sell
them at a GREAT REDUCTION and not lose
any money by so doing. We have ordered
new tools, fixtures, material, Ac., to take the
place of those destroyed, and will be fully
prepared to do all kinds of work in a few days.
We saved all our Pianos, Organs and Sewing
Machines, and will guarantee bargains in them,
as in everything else. Call and see us in our
