TRADE "BOOM” IN GREAT

BRITAIN

RUSH OF WORK FOR ARMIES.

FACTORIES WORKING DAY AND NIGHT

The equipment of the army in the fold and of Lord Kitchener's new army is providing work for thousands who would otherwise be unemployed and creating something like a trade boom. Britishi firms also have large orders from France to make good her wastages of war inaterial.

The demands on industrial firmus are enormous, Cannon and boot-laces, cartridges and motor lorries, razore, socks, cooking tins and tinned beef. blankets and Jam-pots, harness and hair- combe these are only a few of the many requirements of armies.

In Sheffield, out of 40,000 insured work- men only 400 are out of work. In Leicester some concerns are working twenty-four hours a day Loeds and Birmingham bum with industry. Bristol. is making army boots as fast as it can turn them out..

RUSH FOR UNIFORMS.

Men, under training will be put in uniform, immediately, some in blue serge and some in scarlet, until enough khaki cloth is in existence to elothe them all in the same colour.

Worsted and woollen manufacturers in Huddersfield and the Holme and Colne Valleys are tremendously hay on orders for both the British and the French Governments. Olothiers work overtime, both in khaki and in navy-blue serge. Spinners produce yarns ut the rate of a big trade boom.” Norwich firms are making tunics, trousers, and overcoats. for the Army and pegamoid combination suits and oilskins for the Navy..

NEED OF NEW BOOTS.

What is the first requirement of a marching soldier"a famous general was asked. "Boote!" he replied. "And the second?"?.

" Boots!! -And the third"" Boots !!!!

Six weeks of wearing the same boots night and day has played havoc with the leather of our Army. England is booting not only her own men but also the French troops. The established centres of boot manufacture are at work night and day.

Northampton is making 500,000 pairs of boots. Some 30,000 pairs are on order at Bristol for our Army, but the largest order is from Trance, which has asked for 100,000 pairs to be made by October 25th. Some fifteen firms are sharing the work. The first delivery is to be on Friday, and there will be weekly deliveries afterwards. Negotiations are going on for an order from the Greek Government of something like another 100,000 pairs of boots
