Ow- o3 ing to the great comfort and utility of 5 the shirt waist the growth of the trade t has been phenomenal. The demand for c soft shirts for men has increased in re- v lative ratio. The industry has centeredd in this city, where there are many large factories. One tirm alone dces a buesjess in shirts amounting to mnore than $2,000,000 a year. Another factoryt receives from $600,000 to $700,000 an nually from the sale of silk shirt waists for women. Cincinnati is another shirtmaking center, and Cleveland,. ChIcago, St. Louis, D~enver, and San Francisco each has som-al factorlos * Shirt waists are now made of ma1~ny) kinds of material and for all seasons. .
