Made of reflective aluminum' foil, this outfit gives the hook-and-ladder lads a lot more protection from extreme heat. Canadian farmers have the same idea when they build their bams of aluminum sheet. Not only is aluminum fire-resistant but it also keeps bams cooler in summer because it reflects the heat of the sun; and in winter reflects back into the bam heat that would otherwise escape. In fact you might say that in the products of Canada’s aluminum industry are reflected countless aids to better living — on the farm, in the city, in your own home. Aluminum Company of Canada, Ltd.
