I believe it comes from the Morton Salt Company.

Make sure your toes are clipped and filed ---- even lotioned up? cut the old toes out of old hose to be thrown away and then slip over toes before new hose goes on.

Practically ALL the girls I went to school with wore tights or pantyhose everyday, especially tights. I never noticed runs in tights. The tights in the 70s seemed to last a long, long time without runs, or "ladders" as you call them. Lots of girls wore Danskin brand tights, and they would never run. You might want to see if you can buy some vintage tights on Ebay or at thrift stores. I've even seen people unload their old tights at garage sales. Tights generally last a heck of a lot longer than typical pantyhose. I'm surprised that you are getting runs in them so easily. You'd be in big trouble if you were wearing regular pantyhose! Believe me.

Freezing the hose does something to stregthen the fibers in the hose.

Especially if it is above the skirt bottom. I've had holes in the top of my tights but they haven't gone below my skirt so they look as good as new. Posted on 04/12/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse
