In 1921 there was imported inté Canada $1,077,000 worth of brush- ©8 of all kinds; in 1926 (year end- ing March 31st), the importation of all styles of brushes had €one down to $594,000. To be more specific and come to toilet brushes, which are one of the principal products of North Bruce, the total importation in 1921 of this particular style of brush, was $691,548 and in 1926 Sr amsaz heres $324,202. In other words the value of the brusties brought in from out- side Canada' was just about half as much in 1926 as in 1921. In the hosiery business tne im- portation of hosiery has not ma- terially changed sine 1921. In that year the importation amounted to $4,333,044; In 1926 it was $4,223. 402, so that while the decrease in importation has. only been slightly In excess of $100.000 the changes in the British preference have not brought the flood of imports which was feared would ruin the Kin- cardine industry, Mr. Malcolm added that the tig- ures quoted were a tribute $ the en- = 2 » i | NN JERE IPT I=" Nii 90 the Lditer ars published the sctual name of the of The British Whix uthanciented bs a) eu ritish Whig Been aa EE .

Ail far as they are comcsrned the mail- order "gun" will disappear from the malls.

Con- gress should, without further delay, put an end to that sort of thing.
