Camp Tailor Turns
In Experience in 2
Wars in Trade Work
When it’s all over he will return
to Eugene, Oregon, and hang out
a sign:
“Frank J. Serman, Tailor to Gen
erals in Two Wars.”
During World War No. 1 he
1 was on the job at Los Angeles,
with the now defunct A. K. Brauer
and Co., outfitting generals and
admirals. Today, after doing busi
ness for 20 years at Eugene, Ore
gon, he is right here, as supervisor
of the tailoring units for the camp.
“But I myself do the cutting,
designing and fitting and make al
terations for officers in this Post
Exchange No. 2,” he wished it
understood. “We make coats,
blouses, slacks and shirts to order
for officers, and the cloth we use
is the finest to be had.”
Mr. Sherman thinks that the of
ficers’ uniforms in this war are
ever so much neater and good look
ing than the ones of the other
war, with their high collars and
tight-fitting backs. He is all excit
ed over the prospects here. With
such an amazingly handsome lot of
officers the competition for the
title of best-dressed officer in camp
will be something terrific, he pre
dicts, if only the officers will
loosen up a bit in the way of spend
ing money.
Fifteen tailors, with a total force
of 100 or 150, are needed here, he
estimates, but it won’t be easy to
get enough men of skill. He pointed
to a row of shirts and blouses,
draped on coat hangers, as indi
cating the way trade had already
started. Some belonged to general
and one had a plain sergeant’s
chevrons on the sleeve. Non-coms
and privates are invited to do busi
ness with him, Sherman said.
Sherman himself is in the PX at
1st St. North and Hostess St., but
other tailors vVill be scattered
about the camp when other ex-
changes open,
He wants everybody to know that
he is here as a patriot as well as a
tailor.
“My grandfather was in the Civil
war,” he explained, “and I have
been in the Boy Scout movement

the non-coms of the Medics. The
question was put to them.
Based on their experience, in
previous winters here, they said,
the temperature will dr6p to 10
below zero and it will be so warm
all the time that there will be
green leaves on the trees all winter.
There will be no snow, and the
snow will be 30 inches deep.

What kind of weather will we

It's so confusing. Really it is.
Just when a poor buck has suc

along comes the order which up
sets everything.
Effective as of last week, offi
cers are wearing the insignia of
their rank on the left collar tab of
the shirt and the same side of the
garrison cap. There are compensa
tions, however, that will make up
for the first few moments of in
decision. It requires a minimum
of effort to look the gentleman
square in the eye when you give
out with jhe “hi-ball” and it’s a
definite advantage to have those
shoulders clear when putting on
and taking off gas masks and
other equipment slung on shoulder
straps.
Prospective officers (via OCS)
need not despair of having those
long longed for shoulder bars be
cause they are still regulation on

Don’t let the change overthrow
you, soldier, and don't use it as a
salve for your conscience if you
fail to recognise and acknowledge
a superior rank.
