Excerpt from Family Economics Review: September 1969
Children-especially infants-were the most favored members of the family in terms of clothing received from the supplementary sources. For children under 2 years, these items represented 67 percent of the total acquired during the year. These included 31 percent received new and 21 percent used as gifts from outside the family; 12 percent handed down within the family; 1 percent bought in used condition; and 1 percent home made. Infants' clothing from these sources were mainly dresses, sleeping garments, playsuits, sweaters, coats, sets of skirts or pants with t0ps, and layettes.
Girls 2 to 17 years old received 39 percent of the clothing they acquired during the year from supplementary sources. These items included 12 percent received new and 14 percent used, as gifts from outside the family; 6 percent handed down within the family; 4 percent homemade; and 1 percent each bought in used condition and received from such sources as prizes and stamp premiums. The girls' items were mainly street dresses, slacks, skirts, blouses, and sweaters.
