it would be utterly impossible to sell it at prices we're now quoting, Wool is becoming scarcer every day
great quantities are being woven into blankets for the soldiers. Mills that formerly turned out novelty mate
rials are now miking blankets as fast as possible. (
Dye stuffs, too, are complicating matters. Dyes that formerly came from France and Germany in quantities have, almost disappeared so
altogether good woolen materials become rarer and rarer and prices are advancing almost every day.
We offer these exceptionally good materials many of them ordered before the war at "before-the-war" prices. See them tomorrow in our
