Two letters published in the "Open Forum" section of the March 2, 1946 Manitowoc Herald-Time discuss the postwar shortage of nylon stockings. The writers, who signed as "A city slicker" and "Stockingless City Slicker," were responding to previously published complaints from rural women that stockings were more readily available to city residents. Throughout the 1940s the newspaper's "Open Forum" letters reflected citizens' concerns and comments about many war-related issues.
