'Battle Of The Bulge' Won For Barfnmey Like a tailor's dream after a heavy supper is the pair of trousers England's biggest seen here being 'tried on' by two girl workers at a Leeds (Yorkshire) clothing factory. The trousers have been made on the grand scale top span the 69-inch waistline of 42-stone Barney Worth, Australia-born Bristel showman. The factory has made eight pairs to Barney's exceptional dimensions but as they are to price controlled utility standard, each pair costs him same as a pair of trousers for a man of ordinary girth.
