Canada is fortunate in possessing

their preservation for the use of the

CANADIAN FOOTWEAR
Are any of the folk around hone
able to recall the days when imported
footwear were the vogue? The smart
young man who sat with knees cross-
ed and lifted his foot fairly high to
show the company that he was equip-

Same of them were buttoned up the
side, others were elastic sided.
Then there were the patent leather
boots and shoes. The parade to
church on Sunday was their great
clay. They shone resplendent on the
walk clown the aisles and sometimes
they squeaked, That was all right for

A great lady once long ago arrived
at, the railway stationinOttawa . She
was tall anyway, but she appeared the
taller because she wove very high
heeled ,shoes which came to a point
no broader, than a nickel and she
stepped daintily to the carriage drawn
by a team of English hackneys that
took her to Rideau Hall. The young
ladies in the crowd gazed admiring-
ly and confided to one another That
the shoes must' have come from Par-
is. No doubt `they did, because even
until war came upon us, many Cana-
adian ladies, were buying shoes im-
ported from France.

seen and: are worn by ladies almost
never. Mainly too we wear shoes made

Last year the. industry produced
more leather footwear than ever be-

Once you took this man for granted. He
sold you tires, he checked your air pressures, and
he gave you the kind of service you liked to have.
For almost a year he has had no tires to sell
except to those engaged in essential civilian
services, but he is still in business. Now he's more
important to you than ever. He is your Goodyear
dealer ...the guardian of your tire miles.
Perhaps you haven't realized that your tires
are now middle-aged. in fact, if times were
normal, you might even be discarding them.
Your Goodyear dealer knows this. He knows,
too, that you're in for some kind of tire trouble '
if you don't get the right advice and service . , a
the kind he has for you in the Goodyear
Tire -Life Extension Plan. it's the only complete
systematic plan of tire care ... needed more
than ever today.
Even if you can't say to your old friend the
Goodyear dealer "put on four new ones,
buddy," go in and see him anyway. He's well
aware that a big responsibility rests on him . - s
the job of seeing your tires through this
emergency.
Your Goodyear dealer is not alone in this
crusade to get eveny last mile out of tires on
Canadian cars. Goodyear is right behind hint
all the tray ... helping him to render even
better service as Canada enters its second
rubberless year.

CANADIAN CARPETS
The day is definitely gone when
the young newleyweds, furnishing
their new home, would have none
other than an imported carpet to cov-
er the floor. Nowadays by far the
years is illustrated by the fact that
in 1933 the output was factory valued
at about $1,900,000, while by 1940
the total was more than $4,500,000.
ALrminsters were most popular if
value ofproduction may be taken as
an indication of taste, with Wiltons
in second place.
The history of carpets is very in-
teresting, The earliest mention dates
back to remote antiquity. Carpets,
both plain and figured were used in
Homeric times while Pliny refers to
the Babylonians as skilful weavers
ofcloths of divers' colours. In many
parts of the East, among the Assyr-
ians, Persians, Arabs,"`bhinese and
Indians, the manufacture of carpets
