Hopeful Crowd Lines Up For Nylon Stockings Sale
Excitement over nylon stockings drew more than 700 hopefuls to Montgomery Ward in Amarillo for the second postwar sale. About 400 left disappointed as only 300 pairs were available, with all stock sold by 10 am. 14 staff assisted stocking clerks to handle demand. In other news, two cars were stolen in Amarillo last night: a 1935 black Ford from Fifth and Buchanan and a 1939 blue Plymouth from 810 West Sixth.
