The Home Front Newscaster / PUBLISHED NOW AND THEN BY THE BROWN-RgcDONALD COMPANY, HASTINGS. NEBR IT WON’T BE LONG BEFORE RAYON HOSE WILL BE UNIFORMLY WORN Silk is out for the duration. Nylon is on its last legs because it has been taken over for war purposes. When present silk and nylon stocks are gone, and that will be soon, rayon stock ings, save for a few inexpensive cottons, wili be all that’s left to buy—or wear. The war front must come before the home front. But rayon stockings are so improved now that you can hardly tell them from the silk or nylons you have been treas uring. However, if rayons are not properly cared for, you won’t get proper fit or service from them. And this depends largely upon YOU. Recently a customer complained * that her rayons became slack and ; baggy after wearing, did not give i the service expected. It develop ed that the stockings had been worn before being thoroughly dry Rayon is a cellulose product—a yarn made from wood fibers. When wet it absorbs water like a fallen log in a forest. Even when the outside appears dry the :ore of the yarn may be damp in this condition it has less itrength, will “pull” or stretch DO THESE THINGS TO GET THE MOST OUT OF RAYONS 1 Buy them wisely Check foot and length measurements to individual requirements. Prop- , er size is necessary for proper i wear 2. Put them on carefully. Avoid runs. Do not catch or snag them 3. Wash after wearing. Rayons, like others, will give better ser vice if washed right after wear ing Use lukewarm water and a mild soapsuds. 4. Don't rub them. Squeeze the lukewarm soapsuds through the stockings. Rinse well Do not twist or wring, but squeeze out the water Hang on smooth rod to dry, away from direct heat and sunlight. Use no clothes pins. 4. Dry thoroughly. We suggest that you have three or four pairs in order that washed stockings be not worn until the following day. f Give your legs their just desserts by buying two or three pairs of Brown-McDonald’s Silhouette No. 175, a full fashioned rayon stock ing; 75 denier (referring to thick ness of thread) equivalent to a semi-service weight silk. In new shades called Victorious and Glo rious, smart variations of warm, rose beige. $1 pair.
