apartment house and our storage
facilities for clothing out OF season
consist of closets and so-called
closets.
I would like to inquire, taking into
these storage facili-
ties, what is An economical way OF
preventing moths. Last year I
stored clothing such as woolen
sweaters, baby blankets, baby
etc, and moths got into
these things. Stored with them were
other woolen garments that weren' t
by moths.
If possible, could You give me an
as to why this should
occur? All articles had been dry
LEANED before being stored and were
also stored with moth crystals.

will have to take special measures

be very glad to know OF an eco
nomical storage system for the fu-
ture.
