Summary

Pathe synopsis: Subject to "fair wear and tear" may well be the motto of the Retail Trading Standards Association at Henley, where all types, shapes and sizes of material undergo a variety of tests to determine such factors as colour fastness, shrinkage, strength, and water resistance. This organisation is the housewife’s watchdog - many traders having been prosecuted as a result of their findings.
