Some people prefer union suits because no shirt crawls up the back in warm weather. Others prefer two-piece suits because these do not bind at the crotch. Both types were good customers for knit underwear makers who, in 1925, sold 11.500,387 dozen union suits, 11,261,521 dozen shirts and drawers. Total value was $163,276,772. Pennsylvania has 114 of the 298 factories...

Last week company stockholders were...
...second New England Conference last week. These conferences were organized a year ago to seek some sort of co-operation between the strongly individualistic communities and industries of New England. Long ago this district yielded its literary and cultural prestige to Manhattan. But industrially, especially in shoes, textiles and knit goods, it held its predominance until shortly after the War. Since then it has not progressed as have other sections of the country. It has even retrogressed in some instances. Chairman Owen D.
