SILK STOCKINGS
SCARCE THE WORLD OVER. P.A. CHRISTCHURCH. October 5. “I know there is a shortage of silk stockings, for about a million ladies have already written to me, demanding stockings,” said Hon. D. G. Sullivan, Minister .of Supply, speaking at the opening of the New Zealand Industries’ Fair on Saturday night. “We have searched the world to trv and buy silk stockings for you,” Mr. Sullivan added, addressing the women in the audience. “We have tried America, the United Kingdom Canada, and other countries as well' but the difficultv experienced in this country is common in all countries. In a recent cable message, the High Commis«;soner, Mr. Jordan, said silk stockings have been off the market in the United Kingdom for the past year. We are a little better off, for we are continuing our efforts to get additional silk stockings from abroad. It is only because we have th P industr-v established in New' Zealand that we have any silk stockings at all.” ,
