The Hose Question.
This seems to be just now the interesting subject. Last week, “Mohawk,” “Vixburg,” and our correspondent “ H,” fired off their shots, which bring down again the leather departments. We insert so much of; this corespondence as we have room for. Mr. Calkins, of Cohoes, as well as all the rest, feel even better than before. Leather hose seems to be in much more favor among our Departments at this time than it was four or five years ago. We think this is owing to certain manufacturers aiming to make the very best article possible without reference to any cheap competitors. / 'A cheajrartTtTe j of hose is the dearest investment our Departments can make. No slur can be attached to any Department in buying the best. It stands to the credit of every Department, and the old saying proves only too true, “ A penny wise and pound foolish ” in buying oftentimes of the lowest bidder.
