Henry Boehm of La Crasse and the Wisconsin Clothing Association circulated a letter to clothing dealers outlining a price drop plan. The statement notes prices are already below manufacturing costs due to higher material and labor costs in the past six months and argues further reductions are needed to keep buying and employment stable.

Clothing prices and labor shifts during the war era
The article discusses rising costs in wool and textiles, noting wage and price pressures from May 1918 to January 1919. It argues that while cloth costs fell, overall garment prices remained high, driven by labor costs and production timing. It warns against sweatshop conditions and calls for wage and production reforms to lower costs gradually. A Toledo note mentions cooperative stores expanding with increased capital.
