ONCE upon a time, many years ago,

cotton was an everyday fiber--trust-worthy and sturdy, but quite unspec-tacular.

Today, through the magic of re-

search, cotton has become an interest-ing yarn with a thousand personalities.

Cotton is a miracle fiber that is woveninto the lives of all of us.

Cotton is the versatile king of allfibers, at home in expensive Park Ave-

hue wardrobes or as a laborer’s oft-

~llaundered work clothes; cotton can bepretty and dainty in a Cotillion gown,or wear rugged as a cowpuncher’sjeans.

YARNHERE’S AN INTE~RESTINGWhen you buy a cotton product you

get style, versatility, durability, andlaunderability . . . when you buy cot-

ton you get an outstanding value.

Today store shelves are stocked with

.:. .... a wonderfully wide variety of cotton

goods for you to choose from. Men’s,

women’s and children’s clothing, of

high fashion or of work grade . . .

drapes.., rugs . . . innumerable items

that combine a beauty and practicality

no other fabric can duplicate.

So next time you shop, pick cotton

¯ . . it will serve you well . . . around-

the-clock, the year around.
