COST OF CLOTHING (INCLUDING BOOTS AND SHOES) FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS,
JULY, 1921, TO JUNE, 1922, INCLUSIVE.
As it is exceptionally difficult to obtain representative costs of
clothing, you are earnestly requested to help the Government by going to
the greatest pains to give below the most accurate figures you possibly
can for the cost of the clothing (including boots and shoes) used up by
the household during the twelve months, July, 1921, to June, 1922,
inclusive. Costs of materials purchased for clothing (_e.g._, cotton for
children's dresses) should be included, any costs of making-up should be
added. Material purchased for making up articles for _sale_ should not
be entered. COSTS FOR REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS OF CLOTHING
(including boots and shoes) should be included. FOR ARTICLES WHICH
USUALLY LAST MORE THAN TWELVE MONTHS include below only the
proportionate cost for the twelve months. For instance, if an overcoat
is usually bought only once in _three_ years, enter below only
_one-third_ of the price; even if the overcoat was purchased eighteen
months ago, one-third of the cost should still be stated below. If the
exact amount of money spent during the twelve months on, for instance,
boys' stockings, cannot be remembered, but if it is known that a pair
lasts about _four months_, then include below _three times_ the price of
the last pair. The lists below are intended for your convenience; some
of the articles may not have been used, others more important than some
mentioned may have to be included with minor expenditure under "Other
Clothing."
