TAILORING TRADE BRISK.
DUNEDIN'!; EXPERIENCE. It would appear that the tailoring trade, compared with its pre-war experience, has not felt the effects of the " slump " to any appreciable degree, says a Dunedin paper. Daring the winter months prior to the war, the trade usually suffered a slack period,,, during which it was necessary to dispenso with some hands. But that doe 3 not seem to have been the general experience locally this year. "We have kept up business wonderfully well," remarked a leading master tailor, " and that applies to most of the others in the trade. Compared with the conditions before the war, we are well ahead." It may be the explanation-that men are dressing better than they used to, and that the younger class, with often more money in tficir pay envelopes than those twice their age would have dreamt of before the war, are spending more freely.
