What Experts Say
About Linens

Linens will continue to be even
scarcer than they are now. The
longer the war lasts, the scarcer
they'll be.
"It will be several years before
the linen market gets back TO
normal. Irish fax has been
neglected because OF lack Of Ia
Dor. Belgian fax has been stamp
ed out. The coarser Russian fax
has been tied up by war.
at takes years to develop q fiax
crop and get linen from IT,"
It is particularly fortu-
nate, then, in the face of
such information, that we
have one Of the largest
stocks Of linens in America.
In ordinary times we would
be far over-bought. AS it is,
we own much very valuable
linen property which we can
offer you at lower-than-or-
binary prices.
