The claim of “pure silk” can be made by any one. However, a claim s not always a truth. The sole in | surance you have that the hosiery vou buy is pure silk, is the name and fame of the manufacturer. If it is a long-established firm with a reputation to maintain, you can be absolutely sure that the | claim of pure silk is true. “Pure dyes” is another factor that means much to you. If dyes are not pure the fabric will rot and the | life of the hosiery will he shortened. | Furthermore. there is a common | practice of “loading” or “weight- ling” hosiery which gives it a false impression of weight. Mere heavi | ness is not an indication of quality. | Kayser hosiery is nezer weighted | * k% | | You can easily learn how to de- jxeci the genuine full-fashioned ho- {siery and the imitation. Genuine | full-fashioned ' has a seam which runs from the toe tip to top of stocking. - The imitation is merely the old- fashioned tubular hose with a fake |seam running up the back. After |the first washing it loses its shape | —twisting and wrinkling around | the ankle in loose folds The genuine full-fashioned is knit to conform to the shape of the leg and insures perfect neatness and style. When the name “Kayser” is on | hosiery, it is a guarantee of 100% | full fashioned; 100% pure silk: 1100% pure dyes. | When you buy hosiery just say “Kayser's, please,” and you will save yourself not only from disap- pointment, but you will save your- self from extravagance. * ¥ % Kayser offers the latest in colors and tints. In sheerness and beauty. None of these need be sacrificed to attain long wear. But some sheerness has strength from proper knitting. Some lacks strength. Through a clever Kayser inven- |tion the annoyance of “runs” is prevented. This is called the Mar- {vel Stripe* . . . a series of knotted loops below the knee— | barely noticeable. And yet it is ex- l!rtmely effective, and is guaranteed {to prevent garter runs irom con- tinuing. Look for the Slipper Heel*. It is graceiully shaped to a narrow oint and accentuates the slender |lines of the ankle. This is a style | feature which every woman appre- [ ciates. * k% v woman should consider ry as a staple article. Do not be misled by pretty pic- | tures. Costly art does not insure ong wear in hosiery. Do not be led astray by hysteric claims. There is nothing magical nor exclusive to honest manufacture. For every four pairs of ordinary hosiery, women _tell us, only three pairs of Kayser's are needed. This is a saving of 25%. Are you interested in saving 25¢ out_of every dollar you spend on hosiery? How many pairs of hosiery are you buying toda: What would your saving be if you adopted Kayser's? ; Your hosiery allowance will tell the story.
