Excerpt from Clothing: Choice, Care, Cost Waste is one of the main causes of high prices. It has become a habit with large numbers of people, but must be checked or prices may go still higher. This can only be accomplished by each individual consumer and family buyer locking her pocketbook and only opening it when an article is absolutely necessary for health and comfort in living, is a worthy article, and is not too high in price for its intrinsic value. To do this wisely will require the education of many of our citizens in the entire field of expenditure, including the wise selection of textiles and clothing. As long as there are more buyers than commodities prices will continue high. Therefore earnest effort for thrift in clothing will react to advantage on the family and on the nation. During the war the citizen saved as never before for the gravity of the issue was realized.
