‘Career apparel’ firm packages people
By HELEN HENNESSY
NEA Women’s Editor
NEW YORK — (NEA) -
Everything’s packaged to
day-even people.
You don’t believe it? Then
you haven’t heard of the
Cleveland-based Work Wear
Corp., the largest makers,
renters and maintainers of
uniforms and career clothes
—so big, in fact, that four
years ago the Justice De
partment charged the com
pany with controlling 24 per
cent of the garment sales to
the Industrial Laundry In
dustry by virtue of their
ownership of 29 industrial
laundries in the United
States, mostly by acquisition.
“Entering into a Consent
Decree seemed to be the
most prudent way to termin
ate this action,” said Leigh
ton A. Rosenthal, president
of Work Wear, "which we
feel was highly unjustified
and inequitable.
“But I don’t know that too
many of us have ever heard
of the government coming
out second best in these mat
ters,” he added, “and rather
than continue to involve ex
ecutive time and legal ex
pense we agreed to a settle
ment that our counsel seems
to think was no worse than
what we would have had
foisted upon us were we to
have taken this to court.”
Banks, service stations, in
surance companies, utility
companies, airlines, auto
dealers, optometrists and
beauticians are just a sam
pling of those people “pack
aged” by this company.
“And, if pressed,” said
Rosenthal, “we can even out
fit Elizabethan barmaids.”
So you can see why he pre
fers to call his clothes “ca
reer apparel,” not uniforms.
The company went public
in 1961 and nothing but rec
ord sales and earnings have
shown up in its annual re
ports since.
Work Wear began in 1914 as
an overalls maker in Cleve
land, owned by Rosenthal’s
father who gave birth to the
idea of renting and main
taining work clothes. It was
an idea that paid off.
Leighton Rosenthal claims
“uniforms” pay off psycho
logically, too.
“If a housewife calls a
serviceman because of a
breakdown in anything from
an electric pump to a refrig
erator, a familiar uniform
will allay her fears of bur
glary," he said.
If a company rents ap
parel from them, it is main
tained in their 14 sewing
plants and 31 laundry and
dry cleaning establishments.
And some of the women’s
apparel can be dressed up
with accessories and worn
outside the job.
How do “packaged people”
like being packaged? One
secretary at a bank said, "I
like it. You have more
money to spend on after
work clothes yet you’re sure
you have something clean
and trim to wear every day
to work.”
Dr. Paul A. Fine, who has
been on the faculties of both
Rutgers and Briarcliff Col
lege and is now a consultant
to Du Pont feels that career
apparel establishes personal
pride and dignity in people
regardless of their job as
signment. Bu t Rosenthal
I * ’
Dr. Paul A Fine, psychol
ogist-sociologist, who has
found that most employes
not only prefer garments
provided by their com
panies but actually prefer
them to career apparel
they buy for themselves
said it was hard to sell the
idea of clothing rental to
companies at first.
“We sell uniforms,” he
said, “and then convince
them that it’s easier for us
to take care of them. And
because it makes sense it
works.”
But career apparel does
help employes to respond
with improved morale and
relate to the company with a
strong esprit de corps, ac
cording to Dr. Fine.
However much like George
Orwell being “packaged”
people may sound. Work
Wear has provided clothes
for Philadelphia firemen and
Detroit police and reported
sales of $129.9 million in
March ’72. And now, even

AMfe, POLLY’S POINTERS
Hot Casserole Plus
fll
*>■ Plastic Bag — Help!
B y POLLY CRAMER
_j = Polly’s Problem ==.;■■■■ i-=
DEAR POLLY — I accidentally put a hot casserole
down on a plastic bag that melted and stuck to it. All
my efforts to remove this have failed I hope some
clever reader will come to my rescue and save my
best casserole dish. — R K F.
DEAR POLLY — My Pet Peeve is with the new disposa
ble diapers. My baby looks so uncomfortabe with all that
bulk between his legs I have used three different brands and
basically they are all shaped about the same. Square diapers
are conventional but I think thev would be so much better if
shaped more like underwear, that is. curved in at the legs. I
hate to see my baby's walking posture impaired by all that
bulk. Thanks for letting me gripe and I hope one or more
companies will change the diaper shapes. — MARY P.
DEAR POLLY - Do tell Mrs T R N. who has the
smelly'' drawers in her dresser that a trunk I bought at
auction had a musty odor. 1 filled it with crumpled newspa
pers and left them closed up in it for several weeks and the
odor disappeared. Another good odor remover is plain dirt.
She could place a good-sized bowl or open container of dirt
in the drawer and leave it for awhile I think she will find
the odor will leave — J. L.
DEAR POLLY — Each September when my daughter
leaves for college I always see that she has some fishing line
packed with her belongings even though she never goes fish-
ing This is for hanging her
pictures, bulletin boards,
etc., since the molding is so
high and nails, tape or
screws are not allowed on
the walls Really the pic
tures seem suspended in thin
air as the fishing line is
barely noticeable when it
hangs from the molding.
There was only one short
shelf in my daughter's col
lege room and so many
books to go on it. She got an orange crate at the supermar
ket. spray painted it pink and covered three sides with pretty
adhesive backed paper This matched her room's decor and
helped solve the shelf space problem. I find that when de
frosting my refrigerator or freezer, wearing my cooking
mitten to remove the frozen food prevents freezer burns on
mv hands. — J O. P.
