The War Department attempted to find a market for the cartridge-bag cloth which remained on hand. After disposing of some by means. Of several style shows, where models exhibited various garments made from it, the large remaining amount was turned over to a commission house for disposal.

The difficulties encountered in adapting this war material to peace purposes definitely precluded the manufacture of the re maining waste silk and yarn, which was on hand, into cartridge bag cloth for sales purposes. The large amount on hand, how ever, made it expedient to find some use which would prevent the huge loss which would be incurred by its destruction. The waste-silk interests were reluctant to take over this raw material because, as stated, it had never been useful for normal purposes.

The problem of finding new uses for it was accordingly submitted to the bureau for investigation.
