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."
