ualize that it . could be ready by

last week when it was made known
that' the official opening date
would be Thursday, March 12th.
Space occupied by the Wool-
worth store at Goderich is approx-
imately 13,000 square feet. This
is but 2,000, square ' feet short of
the 15,000 square foot store built
at Leamington, Ontario, and,,,•open
,ed last year by Woolworth's.
As Canada's 213th Woolworth
store opened at Goderich today,
62 years atter the first one was
opened at Toronto, some • para-
graphs from a • publication of the
F. W. Woolworth Company of the
United States reflected Canada and -
Canadians to American. readers.
-.They read; in part,. -as follows:
"The' growth of Canada's own
Woolworth's is but a „reflection, of
the growth of the country itself.
' In a century that has been charac-
terized by industrial development,
the industrialization of ,Canada still
stands out as' a notable abhieve-
ment. When Woolworth's opened
in Canada'at the close of the nine-
teenth century, Canada was prim-
arily . an agricultural nation. To-
day, although she remains an agri-
cultural giant, Canada ranks among
the great industrial nations of the
would.

"And her growth is probably•
only beginning. Blessed with an
abundance of sue'h vital natural re-
sources as oil ansi,uranium, Canada
is generally regarded by .author,-
ities as one of the most promising
ecOnonlic frontiers.

the support and benefit of the total

At the same time, Woolworth's in
Canada is entirely Canadian in
operation. That is, it is managed
and staffed by Canadians at all
levels; all purchases are made in
Canada; ,and all bot a small per-
centage of goods sold bre of Can-
adian. origin. At all times the Can-
adian company its represented in
the management of the parekit

on the Board of Directors.
"The . employees of Canadian

"Woolworth's is justifiably proud
to be a contributor, in small part
at least, to Canada's emergence as
the bulwark of the British Com-
monwealth of Nations and as a
world power in her own right.
Canada's Woolworth's is ready for
