~ Below Is q Letter Received By US From
Mould Hosiery Company
AUGUST 81, 1915.

Early last week the Government lifted all restrictions or the sale
and use off nylon yarns. Shortly thereafter the DUPONT Company notified
its customers that it is Immediately converting its Seaford, Del, and
Martnsvile, Va, plants to the production of light denier yarns of the
will be of &c. 40 and 70 denier weights, the yarns mainly used by hosiery
manufacturers before the war We understand further that deliveries
of yarn will commence to reach hosiery mills on o J. about September 1.
We are aware that you are keenly interested in knowing how
soon you will have nyIon hosiery to sell and we wish that it were possible
very much up in the air because we do not know firstly, whether or
not the plan for a uniform countrywide opening date will be put into
effect by W. P. B, and, secondly, how much yarn we are going to re-
ceve and how many machines we will be able to set UP with the yarn
received, how long the quality control tests will take, ETC., etc.
All we a tell you is this If a plan is adopted for a uniform
countrywide opening date, III customers will know about it and will have
the goods or that date, with quantities available in each instance being
figured IN the same basis as has prevailed in oT distribution during
val time. If such a plan is not adopted, W e shall wait until we accumu-
late a quantity large enough to include nylon hosiery as a n additional
type in our monthly ration. For instance, u current ration consists
of three types. If, when We first offer nylon hosiery, these three types
are still available, nylon hosiery will be Type "a"
We have received a large number of letters containing wide
variety of questions and we believe that the above statements are an
to give definite delivery dates, 10 state the quantities which will be avail
able, etc. etc. From what we have said above it is obvious that we have
no specific information about these matters. However, you may be
sur that as soon as we al give this type of information w e shall not
keep it a secret, and we ask that you please be patient pending further
word from us.
Meantime, we should like to say, because w know this also
represents a question in your mind, that W cn see n reason for you
to hesitate to order the current ration of rayon hosiery. The quantities
which will be available of rayon and nyon hosiery combined between
now and the ind of the year will not be in excess of the demand because
production is limited by the supply of machinery and labor. To meet
the demand for stockings you will, we believe, have to buy rayons many
times before the supply of nylon hosiery is large enough to eliminate
the need for you to carry rayon hosiery.

The same degree of finesse was
applied also to Beethoven,s "Quin-
