Show Luxury Reduces Public's Name Carving Set While many persons still persist In carving their names In public places and otherwise disfiguring property, damage due to vandalism Is on the decrease in this country, In the opinion opin-ion of many authorities closely In touch with this situation. One of the reason for this Is the fact that many of the leading theaters, thea-ters, by offering the public luxurious surroundings, have cultivated a respect re-spect for choice things which curbs the tendency to mutilate them. The matter of upholstery on theater seats specifically illustrates this point, in the opinion of theater managers. Seats covered with mohair velvet or velmo, as it is widely known, are less frequently disfigured maliciously than are seats covered with other materials ma-terials that lend themselves to carving, carv-ing, scratching and cutting. Theater officials closely in touch with the replacement re-placement nnd repair problem; declare that mohair velvet has reduced replacement re-placement costs not only because It has extreme durability, ease of cleaning clean-ing nnd otlipr properties but because It Is not mutilated so frequently. |
