this In a free country as witnessed
by the Fifteenth Amendment to
the constitution. practically every

Complete' details of the consoli

have jjot yet. been worked out but
the trade sees hi the consolidation
the effect of a number of factors.
Foremost of'these Is iho recent
aattlement out of court of the
?lilts *tnfouRhi by the I'hillipH
Jones Corporation which controls
the Van Hctisi'ii si mi-soft collar j
patents, for, infringement on the
part of other collar manufactur

they stand in regard to manufac
ture and sale of the popular semi
Web collars.
Officials of the Phillips Jones
Company have emphatically de
Bled that the merger is a move
prepnralorv to the absorption of
SHtfpnin com pet i tors by their or
ganisation. Some jobbers and
ajjUlnn profess to see in the
>lMr the abandonment ol the
?uircned collar field by tin- Earle
and Wilson plants and the active
merchandising of the laundered
collar under the t'luett Peabody
"tWfde-mark,
The popularity of tlio colored
laundered collar to match tlie
ahlrt gives rise to si>ecu!ations as
to whether manufacture of shirts
under the merger will not be at
tended by an effort Lo populurize
the mulching semi-collars.
^Another factor in the situation
hes been tin- tendency of retailers
In -Mr Re cities to Hc k smaller
tfttWters. This Involved a- curtail
Cent of space which might be glv
? ?.U> display of more than one
brand. With the merger it be
| cometf possible to make one een

I the more popular stylo names of
?aclf line, and allow .? more com
size assortment to In- kepi
E^natock.
.Economies undoubtedly can und

great Having Ik expected to be af
fected In advertising.- The fea
; turt'H of fewer handsome collar
models will excite envy In the
masculine breast and the adver
tising campaigns will be further
.centralised and Intensified.
I/ahoh costs also probably will
bo reduced as a result of th?? mer
ger. Cotton Is well below the
high point of the last year al
though linen costs still are high.
The 'New Kngland cotton mills
wage reductions. it Is known,
have been closely watched by exe
cutives at the Troy shirt and col

reductions and the details of the'
merger hnve not progressed to
such a stage that these can be con

also Is uncertain. Ilut at least
the merger will place Qluett and

.That is when laundry costs reach I

Tatter is about ready to be adopted

Both parties to the merger un
doubtedly have prospered. The
latest statement of Cluett Pea
body and Company shows annual
sales of $28,264,902 with net pro
fits of $3.1 29.1666. Parle and
Wilson are capitalized for
