WARTIME LIVING—
Labels Giving Full Details Finding Favor With Buyers
By ANN STEVICK ’ Scripps-Howard Staff Writer WASHINGTON, April 7—There is hope that the chaos of wartime conditions in textiles may bring the blessing of more informative labels, according to standards division of the office of price
administration.
Responsible retailers trcubled with untrained help and merchandise returned by indignant shoppers are holding their heads and
screaming for manufacturers to put enough information on labels so customers will know what they are getting. The system of self-. help used by understaffed retailers also demands more informative labeling. Some infor-

For instance, typical labels on three price-lines in towels list specific quality differences. According to Mrs. Harriet R. Howe, in charge of consumer education at the American Home Economics association, and member of OPA's consumer advisory committee, the vital part of this type of labeling is that specific information is given about the same factors for different price ranges, so the shopper can make comparisons. Towel labels give the size and such quality specifications as weight per square yard, number of terry loops and basic yarns per square inch. Also, the exact amount of strain the yarns will withstand is given. This type of label can be found on blankets. It will give wool
