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 m;mufncturcrs‘
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
gible in part for the price advances.
This is the existing element of
gpeculation 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
speculative condition of the nraw
leather market is blamed by many
well-known shoemen for the main
advances in price. It is said there is
a possibility for a drep 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 f{ts “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 talloring department entirely on
the third floor, leaving the main floor
for furnishings, hats and 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
Januar‘l to rebuild the first and
third fldors. The first floor will be
fitted in genulme walhut and a large
mezzanine floor will be added to hold
all the offices. A fifteen-foot alsle
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
mense 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.

“The reasons why men's and

price are very good reasons, In
deed, If you will analyze them,” sald
J. Saul, head of the old wholesale
house of J. Saul and Company, at
his Wall strest wholesale house
Saturday,
“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 retaiied at from
sls to $lB,
“But the cloth which formerly
cost the clothing manufacturer $1
a yard now costs him from $3.75 to
$4.50 a yard. The tailor who once
worked for $lO a week is drawing
$75 a week, The cost of nmkma(’a
suit has risen from $4.76 to $14.J75,
for the same quality of material
and workmanship.
“lvery clement that goes into the
goods and workmanship and sell
ing of a ruit of clothes has ad
vanced, The manufacturer, the
wholesaler and th retaller must
meet g increaged expenses,
Rents have risen, wages have risen,
the cost of doing business is far
greater than ev hefore
“Phe reteil merchant is not mak
ing the high profits that the publie

study of his books would prove that.
“Phere are other conditions wes
