The Clinton Chamber of Commerce, in co
operation with the Lgurens Business League,
has carefully investigated and heartily endorses
the effort now to be mode to locate the Hall

option on the silk mill building just off Mus-
grove street in which it is proposed to locate
the plant.
An extensive investigation of the compony,
its reputation, assets, volume of business being
done, etc., reveals Jhot it is a well-going, suc-
'cessfully operated corporation. Not one adverse
report of any kind hove we been able to find in
our investigation, either ogoinst the company
and its products, or the personnel of its man
agement. /

New York.—Headlining cotton fab
rics for summer wardrobes are
piques, piques and more piques,
leading designers here report. For
beachwear, afternoon and ev«iing
dresses as well as in combination
with' other favorite cottons, piques
are assuming greater importance
than last season.
White waffle pique is especially
good in afternoon dresses this year.
For a more formal effect touches of
Irish lace are added.
Eyelet pique is the smart thing for
bea^wear. It’s seen in pastel bath
ing suits and in blouses to pinafores.
Banding of eyelet pique is being used
on play clothes and dressmaker bath-
inf stths^ of printed cottons.
One of the mdst charming dinnw
dresses of the wason is made’’ up of
checked gingham blouse and white,,
pique skirt. Another prominent com- < [
