wae \ The Finnish Co-operative Apartment House. T'. is not a fairy tate, a tale of Utopia nor a dream of happy days | 6-Room Apartment, $27.50 ; at 816 43d Street, Brooklyn, Harbors Sixteen Contented Families Who Pay $27.50 Monthly For Their Six Cozy Rooms, In- cluding Electricity, Hot Water Heat and) Hardwood Floors. By Fay Stevenson Copyright, 1920, by Tho Press Publishing Co, (Tho Mew York Rrening World.) | gone by. Tt is a real, true story! A story of sixteen families hav- | ing sixteen cozy little apartments of six rooms each for the sum of| $27.50 a month, No, you cannot have one of these apart- ments at any price now, for each’ family owns its own| partment, ft being one of those co-operative apartments which you have read so much about lately. Only most a@yj| of the co-operative apartments are very expensive, cost~ “SY ing from $7,000 to $20,000 for each apartment, while these } apartments (mind you, they are not flats) are within the means of the middle-class. Think of it! Five bright, sunny rooms and a bath, dectricity, hot water heat, and all the modern conveni- [a ences at $27.50 a month! And yet, this is exactly what these lucky sixteen tenants get at the Finnish Co-operative Apartment House at $16 43d Street, Brooklyn. And this is how it all happened. Wive years ago, in other words just Before the war, sixteen artisans, aM carpenters, painters, decorators, paambers, machinists and builders, became very friemdly and decided to pet wp an apartment house for themselves. Each contributed $500 to a WHAT THE FINNS HAVE DONE AMERICANS CAN DO. temamon fund and boftt am apartment house at the cost of $40,000. All of the tenants had their share in buflding the apartment house, but each was paid for his time just as if he were working for outsiders. This was before the tremendous ‘high prices of labor, however, so that the apartment was built much cheaper then than tt could be built now. There is a heavy mortgage upon the apartment, but each tenant pays $27.50 a month to pay Ubis off. When this ts done the rent will be reduced to the amount neces- sary for running expenses so that no matter what the cost of living soars to these tenants will reduce their ving expenses in time instead of in- creasing them. Mrs. Alexander Immonen, wife ef the boss carpenter, showed me through her apartment with great pride. After a journey of only twen- ilar apartments.” “I think so too," smiled Mrs. Im- monen, and then she told of a co- operative restaurant which Is now be- ing finished jast next door to them, tyfve minutes trom Park Row I & restaurant which invites its pai on és be ‘o come in and eat all they want three Mood in her apartment.

(The New York Evening World.) by the papers the garment workers get $75 a week and want more, Soon be cheaper to give ‘em a suit of clothes a week imr stead of money. Garment guys figure that as they sew, so showld: they reap, And the trouble is, they sew fast! But the garment boys have the right idea~-the public oughta pay. Styles are getting plainer every year! anyway. Let's have fancy prices if we can’t have anything else. i Wise-guy designers have already planned what we'll wear next winter, But a lot of us guys havo different plans. A lot of us will wear NEXT winter what we're wearing this winter, with maybe a few sl changes. ‘The changes will be mamsy patches® What the United States needs now is & Aoover for the cloak and suit business. We saved food and cut short the war. Now let's save clothes! and prolong the wear. The Hoover of the suit biz could ent dowit the waist in clothes. He could make patches | popular, the same as the song writers have. n Nit! You ARE Too RougH | He conld fix it so polished gentlemen should serted mother + an SS the mother whose hus- mdividual wear shiny trousers. Hips are now going out of style for women like hip pockets are going out of style for men. That means another sav« ing. But let the good work go on! The cuff should disappear from men's trousers the way tho collar has disappeared from their beer. And there's a big field for economy in the buttonhole department, Right now any guy can look a@ his coat and he'll find buttons on his sleeve and no buttonholes! And tm his lapels he'll find buttonholes and no buttons! There's something wrong somewhere, The trouble with ready-to-wear clothes is that they’re too darn ready, A guy is thrpugh his clothes before he’s through WITH ‘em, We will admit the clothes trust does guarantee its suits from shrinking. And the trouble here is that the guarantee seems to include the price tag. a ay men design most of the women's gowns. And after looking at ‘em it's easy enough to believe. ‘They certainly have cut down the clothes for the fair sex, Cut ‘em down so much It’s a shame ns guys can look ‘em over so easy. ‘They oughta call us guys the UNFAIR sex, con+ sidering the big advantage we hold. We don't know who designs the mem clothes, but we'd guess it must be women. For you'll notice the pockets of a guy's coat are now perpendicular instead of horizontal. Which gives a girl a chance to give a man’s pocket the up-and-down. ‘ New styles in men’s evening clothes won't be different this year, The shirt will still be hard-boiled and the tie will be serambled. And wet still have four-minute collar buttons.. Swallow tafls will be noticed at all swell functions, but the swallows themselves have gone South to Cuba, For the rural smart set this winter the rubber collar is the thing. \Latest thing in rubber collars is guaranterd for 6,000 miles and has a nobby tread on the Adam's apply ‘Things are different for the city slickers. | Silk shirts now run from $8 to $20 apiece which is too much unless your laundryman is bonded, ‘The laundry spends 10 minutes doing up your shirt and 30 minutes pinning it together again, For collars a city guy now gets quarter sizes, but not quarter prices. ‘The natty dresser that buys a union suit You give.a dollar | They CITY TAX” STATE TAX FEDERAL TAX |now pays the me! >uso | told to make eyes envious, but rather | union price. / Apartment House is not to be sniffed | to open them.
