Regardless of what yourjsye may tell you during a stroll along Fifth Avenue on a given summer day, most likely there's a brassiere under that sweater or body shirt and, to the bra manufacturers, there lies the commercial future.

"natural" look has boosted the bra business which, according to best estimates, amounts to about $700 million a year. For a while, when the women libbers were clamoring for equality and taking part in bra-burning demonstrations, the industry got the jitters. All that's changed, according to" Mercy Dobell, editor of Body Fashions Magazine, who says bra business is looking up Deaths of the Day rl This Day In This Area County YMCA2 p.m. Monday In Ki William H.

Walcutt 1 Bkl' I MOOWIlUIV UQQtUI James Elmer Gourley James Elmer Gourley, 71, of Fairmount City RD 1 (Redbank Twp.) died unexpectedly Thursday at 10:50 p.m. at his home of a heart attack. Mr. Gourley had been a dairy farmer all his life. He was also a member of Oakwood Presbyterian Church at Leatherwood (New Bethlehem RD 3).

Born December 31, 1900 in Piney Clarion County, he was the son of Lincoln E. and Carrie E. (McDowell) Gourley. Two sisters and one brother preceded him in death. Surviving are his wife, Sarah C.

Miss Dobell Stewart of Sligo RD 1, attributes the success to high fashion and women's desire'to Idbk natural.

she told UPI, "today's fashions don't want that saggy look. They the softly shaped look, without a lot of ribs and seams." 'Women's foundation wear long has the subject of discussion, from the days of whalebone stays and tight cinched waists to the liberated look of the late 60s. But, the bra manufacturers report, the birth control pill and ever changing fashions brought about new dimensions to the industry. VA spokesman for Bali bras who said sales were "up significantly," added that a contributing factor was an increase in the average breast 'sTze. "the average bra cup used to be a "B' but now it's more like a 'C'," the spokesman said.

The "pill" had a lot to do with sikh growth, the spokesman added. Martin Elkind president of Lady Suzanne Foundations, a subsidiary of Duplan said business was growing about $1 million a year. -However, Elkind said, the styles have and "we've gone to a softer, more natural look." S'AVhile the brassiere business Has improved, its sister, the girdle industry, has sagged. 'Xrgain, industry spokesmen report, it is the desire for the "natural look. to Miss Dobell, the business now accounts for about 60 per cent of the $1.1 billion market in ladies' foundation garments while sales are down about 2.9 'per cent." However, she said, some girdles have gone to the style with higher waist bands to accommodate.chang- fashion trends and sales have made a slight turnaround.
