Defeat the Moths.

A good way to protect suits from the moths is to secure them in pasteboard boxes such as you can buy from the tailor or the tailor's supply store. The suits should be packed away in these boxes before moths begin to fly and then every open crack should be pasted together by means of strips of gummed fjarer, such as can be bought in rolls for a very small price. The tailor boxes may be kept on hand from year to year for this purpose.
