WOMEN’S HOSIERY MAY BE RATIONED
(P.A.) CHRISTCHURCH, Feb. 26. The rationing of women’s hosiery with the issue of coupons will apparently be introduced soon, but it appears that the rationing of clothing generally, while discussed, is not regarded as necessary at present and is accordingly not contemplated. Inquiries today showed that drapery and boot retailers’ shops had been meeting a somewhat stimulated demand in the last few days, 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, Wellington, said that while hosiery might be rationed soon, there was no suggestion that clothing generally would be.
