So far, none has rejected repeal,
although several southern states

Too many dust cloths
and not
enough sheets
K

ITs NICE to have good supply of old torn.up
sheets for busting and cleaning. But when nearly
all your sheets are reduced to this humble state
even the fine percales Aunt Gertrude gave you for
Christmas four years ago (instead Of the silver
pitcher)-then something is wrong in the linen
closet.
Indeed, the linen closet tells sad, sad story.
What has become of its stacks Of snowy towels and
Sheets it's piles Of pillow slips and Spreads its heaps
Of colored blankets? Where are the linen table
cloths, and the pretty lace curtains that used to
summer" in box on the top shelf?
The plain truth is, they're worn out.
Yet you can't do without bedding. And YOU
must have warm blankets this winter. Towels are
IN absolute necessity. Then get them and get
them now while prices are lower than they're ever
likely to be again.
For consider: We are just emerging from 4
tremendous commercial deadlock. After 1929 the
value Of labor and materials went lower and lower,
until everything was cheapened. Mills closed. Peo-
pie begged. Wages shriveled, for labor scarcely
worth its hire. Nothing, It seemed, had any basic
value.
But now, under the MIRA, wheels are turning
eace again. pistons are pounding, and are going
back to work. Everything is going to Be worth
something again.

Today. the price Of wool is 1917 more than It
was last February. Cotton is up 500! Values Of
all raw materials are on the way back to somewhere
near their 1929 levels.
And men! Men are not only working In in.
creasing numbers: but for rising wages q wen.
Hours shorter. The cotton textile CODE for ex.
ample. provides for about 500 increase in wares,
and $50 decrease in hours. Multiply this by similar
changes in thousands of other businesses and you'll
get some idea of the enlarged buyinx. power and
the enlarged worth of men and things in America
today.
All of this is bound to affect the price you are
paying for sheets and household textiles. If the
men who make the sheets are worth more, If cotton
is higher, and it costs more to and run machin-
cry, then Sheets too, must increase in value.
But your shopkeeper stin has stocks on had
which are priced amazingly low. If you net NOV
you can cash-in on this temporary advantage. Now
is the time to buy.
