Davis & Sons, Ltd.,, who was the guest of the club, and the speaker of 'he day, Mr. Davis brought out this all-important point in an address on ' Leather," in which he appealed for the care of goods. The speaker said he often heard it remarked that good old leather of the olden days was not being turned out now. He thought that the people were looking back with a vision that was clouded, ane picturing something that did not appear in as large a light as was imagined, "I do not think we ever had a bet- iter deather product," said Mr. Davis, "but I do recognize the fact that we do not get the service put of the leather. It is put-to the stress of ser- vice, People refuse to wear shoes properly adapted for their use, Out lon the fdrms in the west , farmers have refused to wear shoes fitted for their work, They buy a pair of light shoes as-they are easy on their fret, wear them a few times, and then use them in the fields when they are plowing, The trouble is that the people appear to have lots of money Then Bain, condftions have changed Forty years ago there were no cement sidewalks. Cement walks.are céertain- {ly hard on the shoes. But a more potent factor in meeting these com- plaints is that the people have be- ceme more extravagant. They refuse to take care of the things that they have. Do you remember in the old days when you greased your boots every night 'o take care of them? the value o How many people grease their boots | You would not use a rifle | nowadays? year in and year out without clean- ing it and oiling it. "While Canada is a wealthy na- tion, she cannot continue to compete | with the other na'ions of the world and refuse to make the most of wha: {she "has produced.' 2fford to squander say twenty-five {per cent, and compete with nations with one hundred per cent. efficiency. | We must not lose sight of this fact.' The speaker stated that for a timc the leather manufacturers were re- garded by many people as profiteers jbut he held that there was no class of business that-had suffered so ser- {lously in the depression and read- iJustment following the war, as the ftanners and the shoemakers, Sixty |tc seventy per cent. of the allied [trades were not as well off as in Aug- ust, 1914. The men in this business {stould not receive the' criticism so {often heaped on them. Mr. Davis gave a splendid account of the leather industry which he has Leen engaged in all his life, and his address was of a most instructive na- | ture. Some person |there was nothing like leather. Ii y was an old subject, going as far back {as the Indian aborigines, who manu- |factured leather. To the man on the street, leather was "Just leather," {but it was one of the most diversified lin Its character, The speaker, in an interesting way, {referred to the various kinds of leath- |er manufactured, stating that a: the [Davis plant, in Kingston, no less than twenty different kinds of leather were manufactured. He pointed out that | they now had three distinct tannage, while thirty years ago, there was but one, The speaker also dealt with the question of raw material, stating that the hides of all animals are (used, Even the barn yard hog did {not escape, as the hog was stripped of {its pel, which was turned into saddle |leather. The water buffalo in China iand Egypt were used for Sole leather, {and also for some upper leather. Al- | ligators were used for alligator bags | while today they were calching sharks and 'skinning them. However, the speaker could no' say anything regarding the commercial success of this undertaking. Whale skins were also being used. The tanning mater- ials used in the manufacture wero secured from various parts of the world, Following the splendid address, which was greatly enjoyed by all the members of the club, Dr. F. J. O0'Con- nor moved a vote of thanks to the speaker, and in doing so Dr, O'Con- nor referred to the great lesson pre- sented to the members by the speak- et, in his appeal for Canada to take care of everything and not be ex- travagant, Mr. Davis very kindly extended an invitation to members of the club to pay a visit of inspecticn to the plant of A. Davis & Sons, Ltd. New Members Introduced. The president, Leman A. Guild, presided at the luncheon, which was brimful of Rotary "pep." The sing- ing was particularly good, some of the "old timers" being put over in great style. At roll eall, President Guild introduced iwo new members, Sergt.-Major Willian, Boss and W. A. G. Spriggs. The two "Bills" were given a 'great welcome. D. A. Ed- wands, of Montreal, was a guest _in- troduced by Claude Gordon.
