UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS PAGE EIGHT THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1951 Producer Gives Up On Women To Make New Luggage Instead New York (U.P.)—Women have been sitting on suitcase lids to close them every vacation for years, so at least one luggage manufacturer has decided to give up trying to reform the women and is changing the luggage instead. Briefly, there aren't any lids on the new luggage. "It occurred to me," J. Robert McNeil, sales manager of the Atlantic Products corporation, said, "that when a husband and wife go off on a vacation, the man unpacks and hangs up his suits, while the woman immediately sends everything out to get it pressed." The main trouble, he decided, besides the fact that women were inclined to cram the suitcase too full, was that luggage for ladies just didn't provide the kind of space for storing away clothes neatly that men's luggage provided. "It's partly the fault of the women," McNeil said. "They have been too fashion-minded about luggage and sacrificed the function of the bag for its appearance." Also, he admitted, his company had found that women were less mechanically minded than men, so they didn't accept some of the technical changes in luggage. The first two pieces in the new luggage campaign for women vacationers are small carry-alls and large zipper "sacks" in which dresses can be hung. The entire sack can then be folded over and fastened together to make a carrying bag the size of an average suitcase. Men, McNeil pointed out, aren't so quick to help a lady carry her luggage in these days of equality of the sexes, so the women might as well concentrate on traveling with something light enough to lug alone Pi KA Elects Wilbur President Roy Wilbur, business junior, was recently elected president of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity.
