PLAY SHOE RUSH REPORTED HERE Many Hurry To Purchase Non Rationed Footwear Apparel If they can help it, Wilmington ians will not suffer from shoe ra tioning this summer for they are rushing to buy non - rationed “play” shoes, as well as having all of last summer’s fqptwear re paired. Since the advent of shoe ration ing, shoe repair shops here have had their business increase two fold. And with the change of sea son, more and more shoes are being carried to the shops for re pair. So heavy are the demands, that most shops will not guaran tee delivery in less than a week, and delays are oftentimes much later. It is expected that “play” shoes, or the soft-soled canvas and other material sandals, will be seen more in Wilmington this year than ever before. Because of the light weight of these shoes, they are not suitable to wear in most cases just yet, but local women do not intend to be “caught without footwear,” sales at Wilmington shoe stores Indicate. With the appearance of the first “play” shoes in shoe windows, Wilmington women rushed to buy, and on the occasion of new ship ments here, crowd the stores. One large store here had 600 pairs of sandals last week which almost caused a stampede. Store heads reported that customers abandoned help from clerks and selected their own, scattering shoes about the department, and leaving many “miss-matches.” It required several days before clerks were able to re-sort the sandals. -V 4,000 Texas Company Employes Now Serving American Government More than 4,000 of the 24,000 employes of the Texas company and subsidiaries in the United States are serving in the armed forces, and nearly 100 others, in cluding many executive officers, are serving the government in var ious civilian capacities.

This particular issue of the mag azine, according to W. S. S. Rod gers, president of the company, has been designed as a keepsake of the war.
