They’re no longer simple “nose cloths" —they are articles of adornment and a product for the millions. What would the exclusive first lady of the laud have thought could she have seen thirty thousand of these dainty and delightful em broidered mouchoirs that have been gathered here for the holiday buyers. 30,000 handkerchiefs! Make a mental calculation. They’ll average 12 inches square, and that 30,000—handkerchiefs enough to reach from Brook wood to West End.
