Postwar Nylon Trade Fueled by Black MarketClaims
Susan Alexander reports at the Atlantic City Hosiery Manufacturers convention that nylon production reaches 2.5 million dozen monthly with no growth through 1946. A CIO union organ says nylons are diverted to the black market in hotels and lobbies, while a Chase Nail Bank club benefits from a six pairs per 14 000 employees allotment. The piece cites prewar nylon tests and a university study valuing wartime costs at 414 billion dollars versus 300 billion in property, suggesting each American family could buy a new home car and bank funds with wartime spending.
