Attractively displayed for some 200 guests, rep
resenting leading magazines and newspapers, were
Fieldcrest’s new “Safari” and “Chrome” Collec

favorably impressed with the exciting “Super-Gra

murals in a variety of colorful, brilliant combina

a favorite with adults as with youngsters in seasons
to come.
Frank W. Green, president of the Fieldcrest Mar

floor over to William Stark, head of the Design De

Advertising and Sales Promotion Department, told

'promote the new line along with the successful
Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Cardin Collections,
