WASTE JpTHODS. WHAT THEY COST THE CUSTOMER. In pursuance of our promise to take customers and the general public into our confidence about | our system of making clothes, we g •will tell them in brief language g what we saw in our workroom I when we started in. It will ex- I plain our decision to cast asioe old I methods and go in for new ones, S the result of our observation and 8 experience in some of the biggest clothing building concerns in England and America. Pioture a workroom with workmen and workwomen sitting round doing all sorts of work, the floor littered with bits of cloth and lining, the air foetid with the fumes from the antiquated coke stove and heating irons. One man pressing a job, a girl struggling with an iron that g obviously was too heavy for her, | men and women doing machining, | going back to the board and do- i ing more sewing, and so on. There was no system, no ordered process of manufacture. Just waste of time and energy, all of which cost money and had to be added to the price of the finished article. We said this was no good to us, | and no good to the public we pro- g I posed ito serve. We would change 1 it. We had an idea of turning | out tailored clothes at the price g of factory or slop clothes, realis- 8 ing that this could be done by a 8 proper system of manufacture, J specialising throughout (i.e., mak- E ing each man or woman respons- I ible for one part of the job only | and becoming expert at it). X How we set about it, how we . succeeded in getting together the biggest and best tailoring business in the province, how we brought down the prices, how we maintained and even improved the quality of our product, and how we incurred the enmity of competitors who still tread the beaten track of a century or more, will be told in this space in future issues.
