STOCKINGS THAT ARE A PLEASURE T0 LOOK AT AND r0 WEAR.

We always look at. stockings four wayswhen we buy them. so do you. These--

How will they LOOK? How will they FEEL? How will they WEAR? What do they COST?

Of course, stockings must look right, or you wouldn’t want them at all. Next, they must be comfortable on your feet, or you could never enjoy them. These two things you can decide when you buy them.

The others you must depend upon us to decide.

, i‘ We know whether you are getting the best that the money can buy. We know that you are.

We know whether they will wear well or not. We know that they will. Or they wouldn’t be here at all.

Now it's high time t-o buy them. This is the safe store for stocking buying.

There has been much said recently, in political circles, about free trade and protection but what has been said is of very much less importance than what has been left unsaid.

For us in this province which, large as it is. is ‘but a small portion of the world and even of the Dominion, free trade and protection are vital is- sues. They have been twisted into political shibbo- leths the import of which is not as generally under- istood as it ought to be. Onecman thinks he believes in free trade because he is a Liberal; another swears by protection because it is an article of the Conserva- tive creed. How many of us weigh the relative mer- its of the two policies in their relation to the pres- ent and prospective prosperity of Canada or of our own rovince?

e have had some forty years of protection, un der two political regimes. One of the parties was out spokenly a protectionist party; the other as outspok-, only a free trade party. The curious thing is that, while the latter preached and prayed free trade it practised the protectiion it had condemned in the former. By both parties then, protection is admitted to be the prudent policy for Canada.

For us in this province, almost exclusively agri- [cultural as we are, we shall bear in mind that the protective policy has built up for us such markets as Sydney, New Glasgow, Amherst. Without the indus- tries born of and nourished by the National Policy these markets would not, in our time at least and probably never, have been worth anything to us. This» is true of every province in Canada whose villages have grown into manufacturing towns and cities. We hear much about the desirability of import- ing agricultural implements free of duty. We should not forget that while we exact a duty on eight mil- lion dollars worth of these, we import free of duty
