" The manufacture of the difterent kinds and styles of gloves is becom- 

 ing divided up so that many of our leading manufacturers are making a 

 specialty of scmie particular kind of gloves. Some make exclusively 

 heavy buckskin gloves and mittens; othei-s make exclusively sheep-skiu 

 gloves and gauntlets; othi-rs, lined kid glovcsof variouskinds and styles; 

 others, unlined kid and antelope or castor gloves and ladies' gauntlets, 

 thus enabling them to pay sti'ict attention to their particular branch, 

 and reaching the highest degree of perfection attainable at this age and 

 stage of the business.

 that in no distant futm-e the finest gloves made in the world will be made
