Consumers' Association of Canada 5:21-- r
At last, a standard sizing for
children's clothing!
This is most welcome news to
thousands of parents who, when
buying clothing for their child-
ren, have had the frustrating
experience of finding out that
garment sizing labels do not
always mean what they sayand
can vary widely when prodced
by different manufacturers.
For many years, Consumers'
Association of Canada has been
urging a system of standard sizes
for children's clothing and, at '
long last, it is now in effect.
The Association was instru-
mental in having a Canadian
Government Specifications
Board committee set up in 1952
and since that time, Consumers'
representatives have taken an
active part in the work of the
committee in co-operation
with other interested groups re-
presenting manufacturers, retail-
ers and government. Over the
years CAC has always had people
representing the consumer at
these meetings - meetings that
were long, numerous and some-
times frustrating.
This plan fills a real need, but
it is entirely voluntary. Its.
success depends on consumer
demand and consumer accept-
ance.
Manufacturers and retailers
may now apply for a license to
use the Canada Standard Size
label which complies with the
established dimensional stand-
ards based on sizing according
to body measurement, rather than
age,
Watch for the symbol. The
label contains an easily recog-
nized semi -circular tape -meas-
ure with the words "Canada
Standard Size" included.
To make the system effective
we must learn to think of child-
ren's clothes in terms •of their
body measurements and buy en
that basis.
One of the best ways to make
sure the system becomes effect-
ive is for consumers to ask to
see the Canada Standard Size
chart when buying children's
clothing. A small leaflet has
been distributed by the federal
Department of Consumer and
Corporate Affairs to retail out-
lets explaining the system and
listing the measurements in-
volved. So, as a consumer,
ask about it and help make the
store clerks more aware that
there are new standards of sizing
available.
Canada Standard Size was
accepted by the children's
garment industry with consider-
able dragging of feet. It will
take some time to become un-
iversal. The big catalogue
people are co-operating and it
is hoped that all retail outlets
will 'push' the idea so that
shopping may be easier and
more accurate,saving time and
effort and money for shoppers
and stores alike.
We, as consumers, must ask
and keep asking for these gar-
ments in the stores. Ask your
friends and neighbors to do the
same. It is simple, sensible
and workable plan that needs
the support of consumers every-
where.
We are interested in finding
out it the Canada Standard Size
information is getting out to
the retailers. If you ask about
it and get a negative response,
write us about it at: "Sizes,
