Ambidextrous Glove

Over a glass of beer at the New York World's Fair last summer pretty Florence Mistele, 18, design student, and handsome Richard Graham, 20, actor, hatched a solution to the age-old problem of what to do with one glove after the other is lost. This week their patented answer went on sale at Manhattan's swank Mark Cross Co. (leather goods). It was a glove which looked like a hand's pattern jig-sawed out of a board. It is made by sewing an identical back and palm to a leather ribbon edge. Loose and easy on the open hand, it bunches a bit when the fist is closed.

Its beauty is that if one glove is lost, a neuter single can be bought for mating because any glove can be worn on either hand. Die cut, it requires less labor to manufacture than an ordinary glove, but uses up 100% more goods. Priced cheaply, it might find a market with thrifty souls who lose an estimated million single gloves a year. Mark Cross priced it at $1.50 to $3.25 per glove (sold singly).
