HELPS TRADE
Changes in Fashion EFFECTS QUOTED By Cable.—Press Association. — Copyright. LONDON, Tuesday. Sir Edwin Stockton, the commercial magnate, when speaking at the Textile Institute at Bradford upon fashions and trade, said that if short skirts had harmed the textile industry the turning up of the ends of trousers had given hosiery manufacturers a chance of creating a demand for fancy socks. “You may say how vain it is to want socks exposed,” said Sir Edwin, “but the fashion has made the hosiery trade busy and the vogue of the short skirt has resulted in a big demand for silk stockings. Dress designers generally are men who decree changes in fashion in the hope of stimulating trade. “The artificial silk industry has killed the rag and shoddy department of the wool trade, but if someone evolves an artificial silk tie which will stand twisting. another large new trade will be developed.”—A. and N.Z.
