The attendance at the coming "a re

who wa very anxlou to secure money

ruled tbtt It would not undertake the

member of the club had agreed to let
the young lady have enough money to

The International Rotary headquar

wai further pointed out that should

desira to help soma young lady, the
club would greatly appreciate hi aid.
hut the olub aa a whole will not span-.
sor anyone In the future, except boys.
Earl Brown chose as the subject ot
his shop talk "profllteerlng," and gave
figures and Illustrations to show that
the retail dealers have not profiteered.
as ha been charged against them pn
numerous occasions..-
The average store makes less than t
4 per dent net. Enrl declared in the.
beginning, and he quoted figures, from i
the Harvard Bureau report, to show
the average net income of business!
houses generally. The Harvard Bu
reau investigation, he declared, shows
that 4 r-?nts or lew out of every dollar
taken In over the counter goes into
the cost of goods, salaries, overhead
and service. :' - -" v -.'.-. I
The average store," the speaker de
clared; "males the following income
net:',-.',- -. -:v-
Grocery 2.5 per cent; Meat Market
2.29 per cent; Drugs 6.3. per cent:
Shoes 1.2 per cent: hardware 5.7 per
cent; Jewelry 5.6 per cent. ; Clothing
3.3 per cent - ' ;' ;
"The Investigators find that the
average city store pays 67 cents for
an article to retail at f 1.00. : SalaVles
eat up 15 1-4 cents, advertising gets
3 3-4 otnts, delivery costs 1 3-4 cents.
taxes 1 1-4 cents, heat, depreciation of
fixture, Insurance and the llke 5 cents.
leaving as a. prom to ur store a a-i
cents. So you can see that the money
must be made on tha turn over and
not on . any one .sale. " . : '.'.:
In conclusion Mr. Brown took up
furious pieces of -weai'ina.apnuxel that
are fottnd in men's shops.' He" pointed
out that a collar was first worn in
Troy, N. 'Yv and came Into vogue be
cause the , man's-: wife got tired of
washing his shirt every time his fol
iar got dirty and mads the separate
collars so he could wear two with
one shirt. He also discussed the va
rious kinds of men's hats and. their
make-up. ..-';.;"'. :"-'v :':
Clothing was discussed more fully.
The first covering - used by man,"
Earl i pointed out, "was foliage, then
the skin Of animals and feathers of
birds for" warmth. As these became
scarce the wool of the sheep came
into use. AH wool clothing has both
warp anff weft of wool, but most
clothes sold .as ; wool in the cheap??
grades contain cotton or some other
fiber.
"Cotton was discovered In Asia over
400. years before the birth of Christ
It is now made into a fabric so heavy
and thick that experts can hardly tell
It from wool. In fact long staple
cotton and wool mixed are sold for
all wool, and the only way you can de
tect the cotton is by the acid test, as
the old burning test is no good now.
This , is the cloth sohL commercially
speaking, as all wool, and is known
bv the Southern clothier as Georgia
Wool." v.,-.. --'-.i;.':', ' , v . v:
