Have you ever noticed the change that’s

come over cotton?Just yesterday this natural fiber was

considered only as a practical wash fabricfor summer dresses, children’s apparel and

heavy-duty work clothes. Now cottonstrides ahead as an all-year, all-fashion, go-everywhere favorite for the entire family.

Research has made the difference. Andwhat a wonderful new personality thelaboratory has given to cotton!

Still wonderfully washable, today’s cot-ton is more practical than ever. It’s

wrinkle- and soil-resistant, water-repel-lent, with permanent finishing, permanentcolor. And cotton’s many new weaves and

surface treatments range from sheers tohard-wearing suitings.

There’s no limit to cotton’s new versa-tility. It travels, works, plays equally well--anywhere. And as always, cotton is still

the most comfortable ~abric to wear!
