The large consignment of white towels imported from the United States by the Ministry of Supply has now arrived in New Zealand, but its release to retailers is still awaited. There are 1,000,000 towels in the consignment, and a substantial quantity of roller towels and tea towels, and the value of the total is approximately £600,000. Recently it was stated that wholesale firms had agreed to undertake the distribution of the towels, but the question of valuation had caused some delay. Now the Min-' istry of Supply is calling for applications from wholesale firms that stock towels for the purchase of quantities of the tea towels, towelling, and towels, for subsequent retail distri- , bution.
