HOBBLES ATFECT BUSINESS MANUFACTURERS’ SAY. New York, *iay 20.—Manufacturers say that the silk industry is in a bad way, because women’s fashions, like the hobble skirt, require 40 per cent less material for the inner and outer dress. Between hobble skirts, “combina tion” undersuits, and the partial abo lition of petticoats, the silk industry of America, now grown beyond that of France, and amounting to $200,000,- 00 yearly in value of product, has come upon hard tlmss. Secretary Ramsey Peuget, secretary of the Silk Associa tion, says: “Of these fashions I see no Immed iate chance of change, because, con found them, they, make the older wom en look Incredibly young, and it’s the older women who can keep a fashion going.” Tap Line Cases.

A MISTAKEN IDEA So many people unconsciously do not make their wills on account pf expense attached to It. In the ordinary way there is some expense, but with the assistance we can give (having our attorneys retained regularly) this is greatly minimized. No one will argue that is not the correct thing to do, then why delay the matter—come to see us at^nce and get the benefit of our large experience in such matters. The Value of an Estate should not determine the necessity of a will. Every man with an estate, even of (|nly $500.00, should have a will so that his earthly belongings may be distributed according to his own desire rather than by the manner prescribed by law^, particularly if he wants a different disposition made. Make Our Company Executor of you will and have it on a proper basis, laying aside sentinlent and make the matter one of business which it should be. In accordance with the laws of our State, all Trust Funds turned over to us under will or otherwise are kept separate from our other assets. In addition our capital stock $350,000.00, stock holders liability $350,000.00 and undivided profits of $160,000.00, making a total of $860,000,000 stands as a guarantee for the safety of all trust money.
