PROMOTION OF WOOL
Woolgrowers of the United Kingdom, through the British V’ool Marketing Board, are to become partners with the International Wool Secretariat in a publicity campaign in the United Kingdom. In a joint statement the board and the secretariat said a joint control committee, to be known as the British Wool Promotion Committee, would be established, consisting of representatives of both organisations. The committee will promote the sale
of products in which extensive use is made of Britain’s homegrown wool, amongst the most important of which are carpets, knitwear, and tweeds. The chairman of the secretariat (Mr L. Francis Hartley) said that it welcomed the co-operation with the woolgrowers of the United Kingdom to help maintain and expand their markets for wool. “The growers of Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa have long envisaged the ideal of wool producers throughout the world combining their resources in one powerful continuous drive to protect their product and safeguard it against the ever-growing threat of man-made fibres, and increase its use and usefulness everywhere,” he said.
