Warn Consumers
Against Nylon
Priority Clubs

The sales plan that gives pur-
chasers of rayon and Isle hosiery
membership in so-called Nylon
Priority Clubs-giving them priori-
ty TO purchase nylon hosiery as
soon as available if they purchase
other hosiery now-is in violation
OF the nylon hosiery regulation. the
Office of Price Administration
said.
Consumers We're reminded that it
is not necessary for them to join
such a club in order to get nylons.
when nylons are again available.
Stores operating such clubs give
rayon and Isle or cotton hosiery
purchasers a card which is punch
ed ach time hosiery is purchased
In typical plan, the store promises
f.. to see the customer at least one
pair of nylons, when available. for
each six pair of rayon or cotton
hosiery purchased. Furthermore.
the store agrees not to put nylons
on public sale until those persons
on their priority list, in the order
registered, are given first oppor-
tunity to purchase.
oPA said it was bringing this
matter to the attention of pur-
chasers of hosiery in order to pro
tect them against an illegal prac-
tice. Under the nylon hosiery regu-
lation. it is unlawful to offer. at
tempt or agree to require a pur-
chaser to buy any other hosiery
or article in connection with
sale or delivery Of nylon hosiery.
