COME SHOPPING WITH CAROLINE· She's been buying a blouse and skirt 
Separates are important in Caroline's wardrobe-she had planned to buy a blouse and skirt this autumn in any case. An invitation to the country sent her out shopping in a hurry; but hurry or no hurry, Caroline rarely makes a bad buy: she can't afford to! 
She looks, above all, for quality. Whether she's spending much or little, things must be good of their kind. That's why she made certain that her new blouse and skirt both carried "Courtaulds Tested-Quality" Mark. She knows that this Mark answers all kinds of questions. Will a garment wash-or dry-clean-well? Will it resist shrinking, fading and fair wear-and-tear? Will it give lasting satisfaction? 
"Courtaulds Tested-Quality" Mark is your assurance that it will, because anything that bears this Mark is TESTED. And it doesn't apply only to women's clothes. Caroline looks for it on children's clothes and household textiles, and things for her husband, too. 
Whatever you're buying, "Courtaulds Tested-Quality" Mark can help you. It is your assurance of value for money, and lasting satisfaction in wear. Look for it always! 
SEPARATES WITH A LONG LIFE-that's what Caroline got when she bought a blouse and skirt that carried "Courtaulds Tested-Quality" Mark. The durabilily of pleating in skirts is just one of the things it can cover. Always look for the Mark whatever you’re buying--it's your assurance of satisfaction.
COURTAULDS Tested-Quality Mark is your guide· to good shopping
