The low-priced dress field will be canvassed by the ready-to-wear division of the Federation for the Support of Jewish Philanthropic Societies, it was announced yesterday by Matthew J. Kane, general chairman of the dress division. Benjamin J. Hirsch will be in charge of this aspect of the Federation’s drive to obtain $2,071,000, which opens formally on November 11.
Headquarters for the new units have been established at 205 West Thirty-sixth street.
In announcing organization of the popular-priced division, Mr. Kane said that it marked the first time the Federation has been put into a position where it could systematically mobilize the dress trade.
