STORE Suggestions for the CARE OF HOSIERY CAUTION: Because of condition which have grown out of the National Emergency, hosiery manufacturers do not now have the same freedom of choice of materials from which to make stockings. This means that more than usual car should be exercised In the use of your silk, nylon or rayon hosiery. Pleas observe the following suggestions: ' 1. Where hosiery Is composed of more than one type of fibre, it is important that suf ficient time be allowed for complete dry ing of all fibres after washing. S. Do not hang stockings over a line to dry. Lay them flat upon a turkish towel in a room which is heated, or where there is a current of air. 3. When laying hosiery out to dry, a plec of white blotting paper placed Inside the rayon tops will aid In the absorption of moisture. 4. Rayon tops may be pressed with a WARM iron to expedite drying, but CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO AVOID THE USE OF A HOT IRON. 5. Great care should be used In washing hosiery. Use warm water and a little good soap. Do not scrub or twist dellcat stock ings. . Use ROYAL RINSE for Easy, Safe Washing.
