Mr wab spoke } at a reception given by the New York Btate Chamber of Commerce in recog- nition of his services to the country in the war. “Germany can put a ton of steel in England at a price $20 a ton cheaper than England can make it,” he sald; “and is selling pneumatic tools in Detroit, where we formerly shipped such machinery to Germany and sold it cheaper than she could make it. The difference is solely a matter of labor costs, “Lt is estimated that 5,000,000 men a@re out of work in this country. It is avoordingly of supreme importance to the workingman as well as to the captitalist to restore our prosperity. “Never before was the need for Products so great, never before was Such valuable producing machinery and facility available, never before was there so much that needed to be done. ‘I have just returned from Europe, and 1 came with renewed admiration for the courage, enterprise and deter- mination displayed in Italy, Beigium, France und England, German; was ahead of of them in production. “Is it possible that after having won the war we of the Allied nations will allow Germany to win the peace through the efforts of her labor? ‘Labor on the whole can be paid what ras a whole earns, and if some sect of labor exact more than their share of the current pro- duce of the world, other sections are going I understand that our railroads to-day pay to labor more than 60 cents out of every dollar re- ceived. The labor cost of making a ton of steel is 85 cents out of each dollar of total cost. “Labor costs underlie our railroad difficulty, They cause the excessive railroad rates. We formerly sold pig iron at a profit at about 14 a ton. The total freight rates involved in naking a ton of pig iron are more han $14.

It is enough for man that there is beauty to behold, But the seeds care not. Living only to produce, to serve. they go on multiplying and expanding that more and still more beauty may result. So it is with other things In life—so with McCreery’s as an institution. Patrons are conscious only that McCreery's Is a pleasant and most satisfactory place to shop. They cannot see the seeds that make it so—that is, our ideals of Justice,’ Co-operation, Economy and Energy. But the seeds are here, deeply rooted and constantly nourished by us that they may grow and spread themselves for the service of our patrons. From these seeds McCreery's is towering to a height where much else than “MeCreery Quality Merchan- dise” flourishes. Placed against the back of a Davenport, with lamp, books or magazines upon it, a library table is the essence of conven- ience, hominess and decorative beauty. It takes up but little room, and at these reduced prices costs very little. Our 29.50 Women’s Dress Sale Continues With Added Zest And well it deserves the success accorded it.
