Fieldcrest’s Mexicana towel
interprets this centuries-old
pattern on an unsheared
jacquard towel in contemporary
colors that will complement both
traditional and modern
decorating schemes.
Fieldcrest’s second design
concept for Fall 1975 is a
sparkling new juvenile
coordinate. Woodsy Owl.
Launched under the auspices of
the Forest Service of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture,
Woodsy is a happy cartoon
character who serves as the
focus for a national environ
mental improvement campaign.
The lovable little owl and his
brightly-hued portrayal on a
sheet, blanket, bedspread and
towel are sure to be a hit with
children of all ages.
The Nation of Nations Col
lection, Woodsy Owl and strong
single additions to each of the
individual product lines
represent one of Fieldcrest’s
most exciting lines.
Combined with the complex of
new and supporting programs,
to be described in forthcoming
issues, the Fall ’75 line provides
the sales force with an ex
ceptional sales tool that should
meet the needs of almost every
retail market.
