The sharp bitter weather of our climate might seen unbearable could we not find means of enjoying it without dis- comfort. It was long:after wood was known to be a perfect nonconductor of heat and cold before any one thought of its possible uses in clothing, but now we take advantage iif this fact. Wood is reduced to -its strong silken fibres and then made into the fabric known as Fibre Chamois which offers a perfect protection from wind, cold or sleet that makes healthful. warmth possible in all weathers to. everybody—and a durable protection that never fails till the garment is worn out.
