TO SIZE, AND TAGS FASTENED
Many of the socks received in the
Northern Division inspection depart
ment are not properly marked with
regard to the size. Therefore, it
seems necessary to repeat that the
size of all socks must be written on
tape with indelible ink and fastened
securely to the sock.
When the complimentary labels are
used, the sibe can be marked at the
upper end of the label. When the
laundry tags are used, the size can
be marked upon this, but under all
conditions the size must be fastened
to the sock in such way that it will
remain on the sock after it has been
washed. Paper tage must be discon-
! tinued.
