X STOCKING COUPON
SURRENDER. FOR "MEDIUMS" An X coupon has to be surrendered for stockings marked "medium" as well as for those sold as first-grade fully-fashioned. Two ordinary coupons are required for stockings known as "seconds," says the Economic Information Service. For the rationing authorities, the terms "medium" and "seconds" have certain specific meanings. "Mediums" are fully-fashioned stockings with a special tyDe of colour defect—a difference in colour between the leg and the foot. This difference becomes apparent after the stockings have been dyed, as in fully-fashioned stockings the leg and the foot are knitted separately and then joined before dyeing. There should be no defect in the actual construction of "mediums." "Seconds" are also fullyfashioned, but they are classed as second quality because there is a defect in their construction.
