PAGE FOUR THURSDAY. AUGUST 2, 1945 THE JOURNAL, PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA Explains Why American Girls Dress So Wei! CHICAGO, (U.R The Ameri can woman manages to be well dressed on a modest budget be cause mass production makes low prices possible. Yet she is also fairly certain that she won't see 'some other woman wearing an exact duplicate of her mass-produced coat or dress. The system that produces dresses as efficiently as automo biles and still assures the Ameri can girl of a dress that is practi cally exclusive has been explained by Oscar Meinhardt, executive director of Chicago Fashion In dustries. One factor is the existence of scores of centers producing fa:h- TT:.,u...it :j v v-i. juu?, .kucjiuiai ub caiu. ikw iuia land Chicago are the largest. New York is the producer of new styles.

"However astronomical it is, it still doesn't result in one style to a customer," Meinhardt said. "If it did, the price wouldn't be $10, the average ticket on a dress." fi That, said Meinhardt, is where jthe system of fashion distribu tion comes in. He used Chicago as an example. First, many manufacturers confine their lines, selling only to one store in each. city. Others sell clothes to more than one store. In such cases, however, they sell each special style num ber to only one store in each city. SPORTS EXPAND LAKE PLACID CLUB, N. Y.

All American Nations Take Census in 1950 COLVIN-HEYN STUDIO FINE PORTRAITS Plattsmouth Hotel Fridays and Saturday Hours 1:15 to 8:30 P.M. NEW ORLEANS (U.R All of the Americas are going to take a census for the first time in his tory in 11)50, it was announced here by Thomas F. Corcoran, tech nical director of the Inter- A merican Statistical Institute. Corcoran, who is currently on loan to the office of InterAmer iean Affairs, has just completed a three-month tour of South Amer ica. He said that the United States and Latin America would work ac cording to parallel standards and parallel definitions. He predicted that such a census would produce for the first time basic population data comparable throughout North and South America. "In order to carry through any future planning for Latin Amer ica, especially in increases in trade, we must have the basic da ta to know what they need and what we are able to supply them," he explained. Corcoran said that Ecuador has never had a census, Bolivia has not taken one since 1!)00, and the last in Paraguay was in 1935 and was never completed. Late in li46 a census school will be organized in a centrally located Latin American citv, and there U. S. census officials will instruct the southern census of ficial in teehbinques.
