Handbag Makers
Rap Competition
From Over Seas
New York (U.R) The Ameri
can women's handbad industry is
carefully watching imports from
Germany. It seems a potential
threat to the domestic trade.
Right now, it can't complain
because German imports are
miall. But industry spokesman
say that right after the peace
treaty, they expect German
handbags to come over here in
volume.
The voice of the Industry Is the
National Authority for the La
dies' Handbag Industry, a priv
ate association embracing some
250 manufacturers.
A. Mittenthal. co-director, said:
"German bags, and to some
extent those of Franco and Italy,
are coming into this country in
greater numbers and causing
considerable concern In the
trade.
Good Quality Bagi
"They are the types that are
made here and directly compete
with American manufacturers.
Bags retailing for $16.50 are of
good quality, styled for our mar
kets and very attractive.
Mittcnthal's associate, Max
Berkowitz, already has been to
Washington about It.
His principal complaint has
been that the United States gov
ernment Is, In effect, subsidizing
the German industry, by selling
leather to German manufactur
ers for 60 cents a foot while U.
S. makers must pay $1.10.
Another point he made is that
German labor costs less than
American labor. Mittenthal
claims it provides German mak
ers with a 30 per cent edge.
