As union men demand higher wages than other workmen, why doesn’t your clothing cost me more than that of other dealers?"” We answered, “In buying from us, you buy direct from the makers, thus saving the extraordinarv profit that goes to a middleman in other cases. This alone amounts to the diffearence between the wages of union men and poor labor.
