SCHOOL STATIONERY
POSITION OF MANUFACTURERS.
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day.
Mr C. S. Hogg, secretary of the New Zealand Association of Wholesale Distributors to Printers and Stationers, has made the following statement on behalf of manufacturing stationers: “In view of the wide publicity given to the recent' price order relating to certain articles of primary school stationery, I wish to correct any misapprehension which is likely to arise from the statement that the manufacturers were consulted in the matter. The statement implies that they were in agreement with the proposal. This is not in' accordance with the facts. While it is true they were consulted and were able to assist the Standards Institute with details of existing technical standards (which remain unchanged), no advantage was taken of the information and advice offered in respect to the supply position, which, by reason of the war and import restrictions, was and is a vital factor. It should also be understood that while primary school stationery has been standardised for many years, variations in the leafage’ of retail stocks were inevitable, because of the fact that during the past two years paper costs have approximately trebled.
