‘CHEAPER CARPETS’
Prediction In Glasgow “Cheaper Carpets Soon” is the headline above an article on the price of New Zealand wool published recently in a Glasgow newspaper, the “Sunday Post.” A reader, to whom a clipping of the article was sent, supplied the clipping to “The Press.” The article dated October 15, starts: “The price of carpets is likely to be slashed in the next few months because New Zealand has cut her wool prices.
“This week several giant carpet manufacturers will make quick reshuffles of their production plans for the next year.
“The loads of cheap wool will enable them to produce pure wool carpets at 25 per cent less than the normal price, and make them again competitive with man-made fibres.”
The article quotes the manager of one of the largest carpet shops in Glasgow as saying: ‘This is just the shot in the arm the trade needs. And if we have a boom, there will be a lot of other side trades that will benefit, too.”
