BY J. C. ROYLE. Dispatch to The Star. / YORK, August 18— 50,000,000 will be spent bet and September 19 in outfitting boys and girls and voung men and young'| women for school and college. ~ This estimate is regarded as most conserv- ative. The shoe item alone will ac- count for many millions. It is esti- mated that 75,000,000 pairs of so-called school shoes are worn out each school year. Some of the buying of apparel rep- resents the regular seasonal change from Summer to Fall clothing, but nearly every young person of school age will have some article which the starting of school specially imposes. There will be few, from Alaska. to nila, whose new outfits will represent a cost of less than $7.50. Merchants Plan for Season. ‘ This school buying is a regular at- fair, and manufacturers, distributors and retailers prepare for it as such, but there are indications that the buy ing will be on a slightly broader scale than usual this season. Prosperity ex- ists in most of the sections of th country, and even in those where con- ditions have not been specially good the buying power has not been im- paired. Conditions have shown marked and rapid improvement in the shoe indus try. Factorfes in New England and the Middle West and other sections of the country are working at full speed. Stocks in the hands of retailers are not high and the demand is brisk. The hide and leather markets have ad- vanced and the position of those com- modities is very firm. Prices of shoes also are firm. The hosiery manufacturersfully are prepared for the demand for silk and wool stockings. The knit goods trades expect to dovery well in the nextmonth owing to the demand for sweaters and jersey cloth dresses. Cotton has ad- vanced and rayon is firm, but wool has shown only moderate rises in price re- cently. Prices of shirts and collars have not shown any marked changes, although there have been some price cuts in the latter articles. Silk hosiery is a factor in the clothing of all fe- male inhabitants, even the children, at present. Rubber Footwear Outlook. The new styles of rubber footwear promise to advance sales of rubbers and overshoes materially, while the raincoats and waterproofed fabrics will come in for wide attention. Cap manufacturers have put themselves in a position to supply a heavy demand for boys' head coverings. The woolen goods manufacturers are still unsatis- fled with the situation, but es for the,cloth have failed to show ces. The vogue for foot ball has resulted in the stocking up of large quantities of foot ball equipment by the depart- ment stores and sporting goods houses in the boys’ sizes. The opening of the school year also means the expenditure of millions of dollars for books. In some school authorities are the b n some cases the parents, but the sales are registered none the less. It is the hest season of the year for sales of writing paper and this industry has been none too well situated for some time and needs all the encouragement it can find this Fall. Furniture Sales Already Made. The school furniture companies are now through with the big part of their vear, but there will continue to be large reorders until the number of pupils is thoroughly determined in each section and "ments are made advan: T Speci big volu trend towa children t local busses in operation in this country ast - WHEREVER . your recipe calls for Ham You will be surprised how little Underwood Deviled Hamiittakes to give an enticingly different flavor to any recipe that calls for ham.
