MANY JOBLESS MEN IN DETROIT Closing cf ti AntmoWle Factories Throws Army of 390,009 Out of Work. Detroit, Mich., Dec. 30. (United Press.) The unemployment situa tion" in Detroit h&3 Just about an4,;inJedweieTrreehit; the peak of its Upward trena can i go mucn iunner. The automobile is Detroit's prin-' cipal output The huge factories manufacturing .thesa give employ ment in normal times to about 200,000 men. These factories are practically idle today. That is why ; the unemployment situation stands -near its peak. . j Practically all of the 25 automo bile plants are closed 'today for inventory, the officials say. They are scheduled to resume operations on Jan. 3, but those who are on the "inside'' say the inventories may not be "completed" by ian. 3, and perhaps for many days thereafter. George W. Grant, secretary of the Detroit Employers' associa tion, furnished the United States with figures showing there have been 215,000 laid off from work in Detroit since last April, of which number about 150,000 are remain ing in the city. i The hardest single Jolt to the au tomobile unemployment situation came yesterday in the unofficial an nouncement that the Ford Motor company had closed "indefinitely." About 60,000 are employed at the Ford plant DR. WALSH v, For stomach, nervous or nations emergency is prepared Jor i enced specialist ia time, before It is duty with the colors. I tw. w.

An Important Message Regarding A (Eireaiil mM. Umpsiipgildedl ' MnnwslliMieinill dDppiFlliiiiinintly OUR JANUARY CLEARANCE strikes a new and welcome note in value-giving to the great mas ses of clothes-buyers who have 1 anticipated and eagerly awaited the FINAL REDUCTIONS on needed apparel. Adhering to the tradition of this store, that no merchandise will be carried from one season to the next, we are ready to effect this policy immediately, regardless of the loss it necessitates. The present time affords the greatest advantage for profitable investment in wearing apparel, for prices are now lower than the revised manufacturing conditions for this coming season warrant. , At this crucial moment of industrial reorgani , zation a "business as usual" policy is the pre eminent factor of general, employment and pros perity. In no way will this store contribute to the curtailment of production and unemployment by refusing to place orders, for future deliveries, with the manufacturers. To bring prices back to normal, the output on such necessities as clothing and shoes must not be hampered. To keep the wheels of in dustry, moving and to enjoy lower prices resultant from large-scale production, we are willing to take our loss, to meet the public's demands, and to afford an outlet for the finer sort of merchandise by offering:- Our Complete Stock of Men's, Young Men's and Boys' Clothing at My (Dei dDrnte Wmm Just Qrte-Half the Original Selling Prices of a Few Weeks Ago v The Very Finest Quality Suits and Over coats for Men of all Proportions and Ages at . - . - ; One-Half Price $ 40.00 Suits and Orercoats $ 45.00 Suita and Overcoats $ 50.00 Suits and Overcoats $ 55.00 Suits and Overcoats $ 0.00 Suita and Orercoats $ 75.00 Suits and Overcoats $ 80.00 Suits and Overcoats $100.00 Suits and Overcoats ......$20.00 ......$220 ......$25.00 ...... $27 ......$30.00 ......$3aU0 $40.00 ......$50.00 Short arid to the Point Boys' Clothing ' - Also Bjgdaced One-Half WJOO Suits and OvercoaU $ SJSO $15.00 Suits and OvercoaU ........$ 7X0 $1&C0 Suits and OvercoaU ........$ 9.00 $20.00 Suit and OvercoaU ....... .$10.00 $25.00 Suita and OvercoaU ....... .$12X0 $23.00 Suite and OvercoaU. ..$14.00 $30.00 Suite and OvercoaU . ...... .$15.00 $35.00 Suite and OvercoaU . . . . . . . $17X0 $33.00 Suite and OvercoaU $19.00 fnflnn r7(J(J(Sfj'j Second St. at Main ROCK OtANOCRtVING Call I hock ifAtJsjwo. na.. 1 1 I - . .
