Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 306, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 December 1915 — Flannels for Wool. [ARTICLE]

Flannels for Wool.

Outing and canton flannels are taking the place of woolens to quite an extent, for it is not the fact of its being wool that gives warmth, but that the fuzziness of the wool holds the air, that great non-conductor of heat and cold. One must not think that because a material is a mixture of cotton and something else it is necessarily a poor investment. A suiting made of cotton and a good quality of wool would look and wear better than a suiting sold for the same price made entirely of wool, for the latter would necessarily be made of such an inferior grade of wool that it would soon become shapeless.
