We compared notes recently on fashions and automobiles, and found the two have a lot in common. Miss Shefer feels that fashion i has a place in industry l , and cites the automobile industry a» an example. “Look at the cars of today,” said Miss Shef er. "1 iiev are as colorful as any spring dress collec tion. The at tention paid to fine detailing is as great as in the clothing .Vitas Chapman field Even The interior fabrics j take their cue from fashion, both j in color and texture.” » . This is all because, the home-1 | maker has been discovered to | be quite influential in all family • purchases. And the family car j is not the least of her considers-1 tiens. COLOR IS IMPORTANT Miss .Shefer notes that color! plays an important role in all . of industry and adds that even j •stoves, refrigerators and TV. sets ] have gained a new light-heart eaaess with soft pastel hues, j Now you can have a kitchen] , done entirely in pink, pale green .
