Great-grandmother's old-fashioned,
dust-covered loom, on which the
"home-spun" cloth of pioneer famil
ies was woven is again coming into
use. It is being used in the success
ful weaving of blankets from virgin
wool stored on thousands of farms
throughout the west.
The movement started in Arkan
sas and Texas some weeks ago and is
spreading to other wool-producing
states. Women are successfully
j weaving blankets which are selling
as rapidly as they can be woven.
Some of the more skilled weavers
make from $10 to $15 a day which is
the price of the average full-sized
blanket measuring S4x76 inches.
There are hundreds of millions of
pounds of wool on hand in the Uni
ted States for which manufacturers
have offered about 20 cents a pound
but which is at least 15 cents a pound
below the cost of production. It re
quires about 10 pounds of virgin, un
secured, wool to make a blanket
weighing five pounds. ' -
Many hotel and public institutions,
in the southwest, have already been
supplied with virgin wool blankets
woven on the farm. There is a de
mand for these blankets, which are
full weight and contain no "shoddy."
The wool-producers welcome the
innovation, as it gives them an unex
pected market for their wool clip.
In some sections omces have been
opened for the purchase of virgin
blankets and orders are taken to be
filled in the community.
The usual price for a factory-made
blanket of the quality of those made
by the farm women is $30, whereas
those woven by the wives and daugh
ters of wool growers sell for as low
It Is Time to Think of
That New Suit
Our Spring woolens are here and
they are beauties. And the price,
runging from
$25.00 to $60.00
Also a fine line of goods ranging
from 335.00 to 40.00.

Leave It to the American farm woman to get out and find a mar

crop. She dragged out the old family loom from the attic, .dusted
It off and started weaving blankets from virgin wool blankets which
sell from $11 to $15 a pair ami are sought after by hotel and public
institution managers. The movement first started in Arkansas and
Texas where thousands of pounds of wool clip is In store due to
the low price of 20 cents offered by buyors and which cost about
$5 cents to produce. The pictures show, upper, small Bock of Sheep,
such as may be found on any farm, which will shear enough wool
to malte threa or four blankets. Lower A wool grower's wife at
