He urged them to give special

attention to the subject of advertis. ing, which is to be discussed at the school.

A very large proportion of ad- vertising in the drapery trade cuts no iço, but in our business it has to be hacked with merchandise of good quality and good value if it is to be any good. Remember, we are dealing mostly with women who spend about 75 per cent. of the anoney that is spent in this country, "There is, however, a type of nd- vertising to-day which is perhaps the most serious menace that we in our trade hare to face, and that is the type which relies entirely upon misrepresentation.

"This sort of thing is doing an immense amount of barm to genuins and bona fide trade, and if allowed to continue will have the effect of driving out of the Press altogether the bond fide firm."

Another monace of trade was, he said, the co-operative movement.

"Frankly, I am an individualist. I think that a country ruled by in- dividualists can achieve a greater measure of auccess than it could in any co-operative capacity."
