BIRMINGHAM LIKES CANADIAN STORE if the local police would be altoge- ther thankful, Already they have had to draft extra officers to regulate the traffic block made largely by Bir- _mingham women, anxious to see what Canada has-to 'offer towards filling the daily shopping basket. indow-Dressing Triumph Since no miracle is likely to bring the citizens of the Dominion to the English Midlands, oné can give them only a poor idea of how finely their shop catches the attention of passers by. The windows are dressed as well as ever. This, difficult branch of the art of salesmanship has been handled either in London or in New York. The Canadian officials stationed in England deserve .the credit for this excellent work. The shop is in three sections. The first is devoted to a magnificent dis- play of everything that Canada has to offer the old country housewife and the sale of samples is brisk and busy. Next there is a large hall with a kitchén on the platform and seats for some hundreds of spectators. Here, expert young women, employed by the Empire Marketing Board, give demonstrations' in cookery, three times a day, Only Empire ingredi- ents are used and admission is free to all who wish to attend® These de- monstrations are generally packed out, the audience for the most part being composed of housewives and of girls contemplating matrimony and keen to pick up cookery skill before taking on a husband. During Can- ada's tenancy of the shop Canadian ingredients are being used wherever possible, and special Canadian dishes figure on the Empire menus. A cinema machine is in the third section of the shop placed to catch casual attention, and running conti- nuously ith very short films of Cana- dian 'and other Empire production scenes. A similar machine has been put at the busiest part of one of the two main Birmingham railway sta- tions, flashing between films, a mes- sage of invitation to all passers-by to visit Canada's display at the High Street Shop. This direct and intensive sales drive in the interests of Empire produce is being made in an especially favorable areca. London--although the Empire Marketing Board means it to be bet- ter stil--is a good customer of Ca- is steadily improving, but is still be- hind the South. Birmingham lies strategically between the two, on the frontier between Empire and foreign sales (this is, of course, a generalisa- tion subject to signal exceptions) and ripe for complete conversion to the Empire side. That is why the Empire Marketing Board, after its successful experiment in Scotland, decided to strike next here in the Midlands. The staff work had been going on for some months before the attack was launched. First, the goodwill of the local authorities, and, above all, of the local traders, wholesale and retail, multiple and single and co-op- erative, was secured, This was essen- tial. 'It has made possible the stag- ing in shops of all classes in every part of Birmingham of displays of Canadian produce at the same time as Canada 1s in occupation at her owh shop at 61, High Street. Women who call there are sold samples and told where they can get regular sup- plies for the future. The local trades the. Empire Shop and have no' fear that a new and officially financed ri- val has been established. The effects moreover, of the drive will be perma- nent. For, after Canada's period in the Empire Show is over, housewives will continue to find their normal te- tailers ready to supply the newly cre- ated demand for Empire goods. Support of Press Next, the Empire Marketing Board took large advertising space in all the papers and is keeping this up, as each Dominion occupies the shop. An en- couraging feature of the campaign has been the real keenness with which the Birmingham papers have gone out of their way to arouse public in- terest in Empire buying. The ap- pearance of the Lord Mayor and of leading figures in the business life of the city on the platform at the open- ing ceremonies oa made the work of the newspapers easier. Wise marketing will expand the Canadian trade and such a shop as this is a first-rate move in wise mar- eting. The Empire Marketing Board's Birmingham shop will, I be- lieve, win many thousands of con- verts to the growing habit of buy- Store Opened by Dominion | in England Proves J Attractive Birmingham, May 13--As quick a change as ever surprised a shopping crowd has turned this Birmingham street corner, within 24 hours, into Canada's shop window. Nobody looked twice at 61, High Sstreet, a few weeks ago when it was just an ordinary store sight in the centre of a large provincial city. Then it be- came unique in England; the first Empire Shop to be opened South of the Tweed. Canada is now in sole occupation, crowds are admiring the splendid window displays and custom- ers are queueing up at the counters. Every Canadian citizens should look in at 61, High Sstreet, but 1 doubt ing from within the Empire. WAR BILL DISCUSSED BY ITALIAN CHAMBER Rome, May 13--A bill drafted by the Supreme Defense Commission in March of last year was placed before the Chamber of Deputies Saturday. It contained 54 articles outlining the wartime duties of all citizens. These duties included reduction of expenses, bringing consumption to a minimum, and prompt and absolute compliance with orders given by competent authorities, The bill would exempt from war duties minors under the age of 16, and persons over the age of /0, zs well as the sick and expectant moth- ers.
