I I Id j Here's the Story of j These Better Sub-Standards | ■' ' I . I No doubt you are familiar through Saturday Evening Post advertising, with the Real Silk Hosiery Mills of Indianapolis, who are the world’s largest producers ol genuine silk hosiery specializing on a single style, and they sell their standard product direct to wearers. Their standard product is not obtainable in retail stores. I High Standard of Quality I' . i r) Owing to the fact that their plant is located in Indianapolis, we have been able to make arrangements to handle part of their sub-standards. Because Real 1 Silk Hosiery is sold only direct to the wearer, the standard of inspection in the Real Silk Hosiery Mills is more rigid th in anything heretofore known in the silk hosiery industry. Therefore, they reject, as sub-standards, much silk hos- , g icry which other hosiery mills ordinarily would not reject. Why They are Sub-Standard | &l U' The difference between these Real Real Silk Hosiery undergoes EIGIII | Silk sub-standards and the Real Silk inspections in manufacture. 1 hese Rea ra standard product is, in most instances.
