The charge of profiteering lodged
against shoemen in the report of the
Federal Trade Commission has
aroused a storm of comment through
out the trade. Thousands of retail
ers, wholesalers and manufacturers
have rushed to the defense of the“
business. ;
. It seems to be the concensus of
opinion that the high price of foot
wear is justified by the scarcity of
hides and skins and the high cost of
labor. The assertion that excessive
profits have been taken in any branch
of the industry is emphatically de
nied. There is a scarcity of hides and
the grades demanded by the public,
but there is also another factor in
the raw skin market which manufac
turers and dealers believe is respon
sible in part for the price advances.
This is, the existing element of
speculation in the raw stock before
it reaches the tanner, or the number
of times the raw skin changes hands
before it gets to the tanneries. The
gpeculative condition of ‘the raw
leather market is blamed by many
well-known shoemen for the main
advances in price. It is said there is
a possibility for a drop in shoe prices,
but this is not expected to go into
effect for another year,

Morris Eiseman.
Eiseman’s, one of the oldest eloth
ing firms in the South, will spend
$50,000 in remodeling its “Daylight
Corner” store at Whitehall street and
the viaduct in order to introduce a
real novelty in men's clothing stores,
it is announced. .
“We shall put the men’s clothing
and tafloring department entirely on
the third floor, leaving the main floor
for furnishings, hats arnd shoes,” said
J. V. Freytag, the advertising mana
ger. “We believe that the man who
is choosing a suit of clothes, trying
on a coat or being measured desires
a certain degree of privacy which he
does not get on the main floor. So
far as we can learn this will be the
only store in the South with this
feature.”
The company will start work about
January 1 to rebuild the first and
third floors. The first floor will be
fitted in genuine walnut and a large
mezzanine floor will be added to hold
all the offices. A fifteen-foot aisle
will run down the center. Two large
elevators will be installed in the
center of the store, replacing the one
elevator now in use. The same im
mensé windows which gave the store
the name, “The Daylight Corner,”
will be used on the third floor, so
that the customer may inspect cloth
ing in natural light.

J. Saul, head of the old wholesale
house of J. Saul and Company, at

“Older men will remember when
a man's suit could be bought for
$5, and until a few years ago a very
good suit could be retalled at from

“But the cloth which formerly
cost the clothing manufacturer $1
a yard now costs him from $3.75 to
$4.50 a yard. The tallor who once

“The retail merchant is not mak

“There are other conditions mee
