We have continued the credits to Great Britain, which was absolutely necessary in order to enable her to obtain the products for which this country had to find a market. Similarly in regard to national undertaking of a productive character, we have been engaged during the war in a large shipbuilding program. That shipbuilding program has engag- ed the services of tens of thousands of workmen and artisans throughout' the , country. The works have been of very (considerable advantage to a large sec- tion of our business community, The money .wiiiicif these workmen and arti- sans receive is distributed through var- ious business channels, so that the en- tire community gets an advantage from it, Further, we went;, ahead with the purchase of rolling stock fair the Na - Our Stock is so complete in assort ment of styles and range of values that n o matter what style of a Suit you have in mind orwhatprice you want to pay, you are almost certain to find it here.
