Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 281, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 November 1913 — To Strengthen Silk Stockings. [ARTICLE]

To Strengthen Silk Stockings.

To save silk stockings, first buy them large, almost a full size larger than you may wear in a cotton or lisle stocking, next darn loosely the l\eel and toe, and places for garter catches, all before wearing the stockings. This prevents holes from appearing in heel and toe and the knee from having runners. Rinse out in cold water after each wearing, and the stockings will last two or three times longer than when these precautions are not taken.
