Sanforized Bedspreads,
Draperies Promoted In
National Advertising
Consumers all over the country are
reading about the new Sanforized bed
spreads by Fieldcrest. Full-page ads
are carried in the November issues of
Ladies Home Journal, Better Homes
& Gardens, House Beautiful, Living for
Young Homemakers and Sunset Maga
zine.
The ad had previously appeared as a
double spread in the October 30 issue
of Life, and in the November 1 issue of
the New York Times magazine section.
Illustrations contrast Sanforized
spreads, guaranteed against the shrink
age of more than one per cent, with the
old not Sanforized spreads, which
sometimes shrank as much as 12 per
cent di' their original length. A smaller
illustration shows how after a dozen
launderings, Fieldcrest Sanforized drap
eries will still touch the floor.
Promoting Sanforized bedspreads and
draperies as “Completely New, Com
pletely Washable,” ad shows that the
Sanforized merchandise can be launder
ed as often as desired without shrink
ing more than an imperceptible one per
cent. Copy points out that the con
sumers can now get extra years of
beauty and service at the same popu
lar prices that they would pay for
spreads and draperies without the
Sanforized label.

the South Carolina Textile Manufac
turers Association.
Quoting an article in the New York
Journal of Commerce the other day
by its textile editor, Douglas Pidgeon,
to the effect that the average mill price
level of cotton textile goods has dropped
21 per cent since mid-1951. Mr. Cauthen
cited that this condition has prevailed
while many other American industries
