Cooperate to Cut Production Costs in Clothing Industry
H B Ober, speaking at a Rotary luncheon, said over six hundred thousand patterns were made in 1928 for men and boys clothing. He urged reducing patterns to lower overhead, aided by National Retail Clothiers Association and textile manufacturers. He noted retail clothiers held 61 percent of U S clothing sales, with mail order and department stores at 39 percent, and welcomed chain-store competition as a spur to better prices and service. He pledged to stay in the business and resist chain-store takeover offers.
