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.
