How can vou save wool ?
"Economy in the consumption of all the
things needed by the nation for the winning
of the war the releasing of labor and materials

SAVING wool is one of the things the country
needs, and it's one of the things you can do
The best way to save wool is to stop wasting it;
fabrics that don't give long wear are not econ
omy; they're waste
The economy is in the service that all-wool
fabrics give; such clothes wear so much longer,
and look so much better, that even at the higher
price they cost less, and waste less
That's why wc make our clothes of all-wool fab
rics; they save in service Our label is the sign;
a small thing to look for, a big thing to find
