THREATEN TO 1
AMERICAN DIVERS
Paris Dressmakers Angry Over What
They Regard as Mean Devices
to Save Money.
PAMS, April ID.—The big dress
designing outfits of this city contem
plate barring American buyers from
their halls because of the refusal of
the American buyers to take the de
signs offered by the French dress
makers and designers. The Ameri
cans are becoming more and more in
dependent and demand that the Amer
ican desires shall be catered to by the
designers or they will refuse to buy.
The French artists are also oppos
ed to the commerc'al methods of the
Americans, who buy collectively and
the model is used not only in New
York but in every large American city,
thus depriving the manufacturers here
of large profits.
The dressmakers here say that if
the Americans know what they want
why don’t they make It and not come
to Paris to steal ideas or get at re
duced figures new models for duplica
tion in America.
