The creator of the silks is Mr Miki Sekers, of whom a London Export Journal says: “Mr Sekers, managing director of West Cumberland Silk Mills, has a vast reputation in the field of fabric design, and he was one of the pioneers who realised the possibilities of fine nylon threads. His fabric collections have always been noted, not only for their accurate fashion forecasts in colour and design, but also for their technical brilliance and originality.”

Ladies mav have Frocks Modelled and Made at Beaths in these exact Styles if desired, or they may avail themselves of the Free Cutting out Service bv Mrs McLean, using the McCall Pattern Service.
