COLLECTIVE BUYING BENEFIT
TO UNCLE SAM
Washington, Nov. 1. Collective
buying works out wonderful econo
mies. For instance, the navy depart
ment last year saved six-tenths of a
cent over the previous year on the
daily cost of subsistence of every
man in the navy. One reason for this
saving, as given by navy department
officials, is "a requirement that no
requisition shall call for any proprie
tary article (like breakfast foods),
any food substitute or any other item
on which competition in Diaaing can
not be had. The cost of feeding the
men in the navy was 36 cents a day
per man and the food was of such
excellent quality that no complaints
have been heard from the enlisted
men.v
One" thing Sec'y Daniels has done
to reduce the cost of clothing his
men is the establishment of a" govern
ment factory at Charleston, S. C,
last spring for the manufacture of
dungaree garments, white trousers
and knee drawers. "Uncle Sam finds
that he can make these cheaper than
even sweatshop methods employed in
New York city by cutting out the pri
vate profit and manufacturing them
at cost- - -
