"Tailoring," was the subject of a [very interesting address given by Ro- {tarian Jack Derry at the Rotary | Club luncheon on Friday. A large [number of Rotarians turped out to { hear Mr. Derry, and they were amply rewarded. 'Fhe materials that go into the making of a coat and where they come from, was the first: topic that the speaker dealt with. The finest cloths were produced by the coun- tries that were long noted for them. Ireland was noted for its linen and 'the East for its silks.

After the coat is cut, ll] it is trimmed for body lines. The il | lining is then cut. The greater part ll] of the lining used to-day is manu- ll | factured in Manchester, England. lll The best cotton is grown in India, il | this cotton is used almost exclusively }| for this work. The use of a hair 1] and wool fabric was discussed by the || speaker. It is for the finer and last | lining of a coat. A great deal of this hair and .wool product is being made in Prescott, but the larger part comes from England. Just now thers are some French goods on the | market in this line. The reason for this was that the franc was very low, Ordinarily the French cloths were | very dear, and very little of this line || was shipped to Canada. The cloth that goes into the mak- ing of the suit was then taken up by the speaker. The greater part of the linens used in the making of our Il! coats to-day come from Ireland. Irish serges are also a great favorite with the men of to-day. They are both cheap and dressy. The various sundries that go into the making of a coat, such as the stays and buttons, were dealt with by the speaker. large number of thése sundries were' made in Kitchener. After a coat is cut, it is made up. In England, trousers and vests are made up by men, while in Canada this work is done by women. The wages paid forty or fifty years ago 'Were compared by the speaker to the wages paid to-day. They were con- siderably over twice as much now.

This factory is now employing | twenty-five men with a weekly pay | roll of $500 and the company has! booked and ordered 10,000 batteries | which will keep the factory running | until June next. The factory will! afford room for more working men | who will be needed as the Company | is already making arrangements for 'extensions. This is the beneficial part that industries play in a city. | Under these circumstances the com- | mittee is strongly of the opinion that | ithe By-law should be carried. | It should be remembered that this | factory has been started and develop- f ed by the tompany's money without | any assistance, and as we are eagerly looking for factories it is only fair for this one and for the attraction of others that this small assistance and recognition should be given. To carry the By-law will increase the prestige and good-will of the company and stimulate it to further efforts, besides encouraging other factories to locate here. To defeat the By-law will lower its prestige, discourage its efforts, and certainly have the effect of keeping others; from coming to our city. The comy| mittee asks all property owners to | vote in favor of this By-law, { nn the club was given by Rotarian J. C. Reynolds. One hundred dollars was voted by the club to be given to the "Shoe and Stocking Fund." CHRISTMAS BUYING 1S ON IN EARNEST Fine Quality of Articles-- Prices Moderate--Partial Payment Plan Popular. It takes a touch of snow to arouse the Christmas spirit. Merchants have found that a "geen Christmas" is bad for business; that shopping doesn't start until the cold weather | sets in and some snow is on the ground. This year's early, heavy snowfall seems to have-covered and smothered anything of the Scrooge spirit. People are out in force in the stores, and they are not merely looking things over--they are buying in large quantities. The merchants are hopeful that this year will be the biggest since the post-war de- pression. If buying continues on the scale it has reached in the last three or four days their hopes will be fully realized. The early shoppers are getting the first choice, so don't put that shopping off. And it must be confessed that the goods this year are more attractive than they have béen for a long time. i Either the merchants have made special efforts to'please, or the qual- ity of gift articles has improved-- and the prices have gone down. The general acceptance of the partial payment system of .buying shows that it is meeting the needs of the public. All clajses are avail- ing themselves of the ¢pportunity to pay as they go. They can pick out and take home a score of articles on this plan, where they formerly had to buy one a week for cash and could never get all they wanted by the time Christmas came around. The spirit of giving is in the air, the opportunity to buy js better than ever before, prices are very attrac- tive, the quality of goods is splendid ~--it looks as if everyone would have a merry Christmas.
