WOMEN'S HOSIERY
RATIONING SYSTEM SOON
(P.A.) CHRISTCHURCH, Feb. 26.
. Rationing of women's hosiery with the issue of coupons will apparently be introduced soon, but it appears that rationing of clothing generally, while it has been discussed, is not regarded as necessary at present and is, accordingly, not contemplated. <
Inquiries today showed that drapery and boot retailers' shops have been meeting a somewhat stimulated demand in the last few days, the increased business being caused in part by ill-founded reports that rationing was to be introduced in a few days. When this was referred to him tonight for comment Mr. G. Riley, secretary of the New Zealand Drapers' Clothiers', and Boot Retailers' Federation said that while hosiery might be rationed soon there was no suggestion that clothing generally would be.
