A strange endurance contest is under way, a scientific and accurate test to show how long the sample of fabric will resist the constant wear of the sliding plate. Count Is kept of the number of rubs the sample receives and i when the piece begins to wear out, the machine Is stopped and another racer Is entered In the Interesting endurance "marathon." This, briefly, is one of the tests applied to mohair velvet or velmo as well as to other materials before the manufacturers select the kind of upholstery they wish to place on the seats they are making. Previous experience has already told these men much about the durability of the materials considered but the chief object of the test ts to do In a brief time what would otherwise require months and years so that selections can be made more readily and inferior materials quickly eliminated. Of all the upholstery fabrics entered for these strange marathons, mohair velvet or velmo has been con ' Mr. and Mrs.' Andrew Hunter and daughter. Alta Jeffs, spent Wednesday visiting at the home of Mr. and v sistently among the dependable win. Racers are given wear numners, bers to indicate how well they stand up under the test Some of the materials are so fragile that they win a score of fifty or less while practically all the mohair samples submitted for test score a count of 6,000 to 8,000. These wearing tests help explain why automobiles upholstered in mohair frequently bring from $25 to $100 more than similar cars upholstered in other fabrics at the time of or trade-in- . The upholstery Is in good condition after years of service. It is clean and bright, the colors have not faded and the mohair upholstery helps assure the prospective purchaser that the car Is good for many more miles of duty. Mohair Is made from the hair of the Angora goat Mohair velvet or velmo Is a pile fabric, that Is, It is composed of thousands of small fibers so woven that they stand on end, thereby presenting a soft, resilient but durable surface that wiU withstand years of hard service, in case the pile flattens down after severe and prolonged use, it is quickly and easily refreshened by placing a damp cloth over it and allowing the cloth to dry or by steaming. For years, velmo has been the favorite travel fabric In automobiles and In railroad cars. It Is especially suitable to summer nse in vehicles and on furniture as well for Its fast colors do not fade or rub out even when moistened by perspiration so that garments are not stained in hot weather. An added reason for Its summer popularity Is the fact that It Is cooler than other materials. The spaces between Its many fibers permit a certain amount of air to circulate between the person and the seat, thereby reducing excessive body temperatures.
