British-Made Silk
VIGIL SILK is British made and British handled from the raw material to the finished product. VIGIL SILK is pure SILK— -not part Silk and part Cotton. And it is free from artificial weight- ing of any description — not loaded to three or four times its actual weight with tin, etc., as Foreign Silks usually are. As the makers guarantee it to you, so you can guarantee to your customers that from first to last VIGIL SILK will give complete satisfaction.

BUSINESS PROSPECT
from
The Manufacturer's Point of View
Prices will be maintained for the year 1919.
Some lines in Domestic and Imported Cotton Staples, Dress Goods, Ladies' Ready-to-wear Goods, Hosiery, Gloves, Underwear, Men's Furnishings, House Furnishings will be scarce and therefore hard to secure unless orders are placed early.
We would suggest that customers place their orders with us at once for Fall, 1919, delivery.
Our travellers will call upon you with a full range of samples.
We have in stock at present some Fall lines that were brought before recent advances took place. A visit to our warehouse will convince you when you see the goods and compare values.
Your letter orders will receive careful and prompt attention.

'Kvmvol UNDERWEAR .
As soon as it is possible to obtain unrestricted supplies of wool we hope to introduce our *'TWIXWOL" underwear to our Canadian friends. For that purpose we first wish to get into touch with a reliable Canadian firm to act as our selling agents.
"TWIXWOL" is a great idea; it is a first class underwear made from a special unshrinkable fabric knitted so as to be entirely com- posed of pure soft wool inside and cotton outside.
The wool inside gives warmth and comfort where it is needed, the cotton outside ensures durability and hard wear. Few people realize that undergarments wear from the outside, that is, where the gar- ments rub against other clothing.
At home the sale of our garments has been limited only by the quantity we can make; in Canada we trust to attain similar results.
Here in England "TWIXWOL" has come to stay, wearers of such fabric are not afterwards inclined to accept substitutes. Ladies' and children's undergarments of this fabric are in extraordinary demand.
Our prices are reasonable and will always be cheaper than *'all wool" prices, and we shall be prepared to quote F.O.B. Canada.

This is a business man's paper. It is of in- terest to every man who has money invested either in his own business or in bonds and securities of various kinds. It is published weekly, and the news is given in very read- able form.
Wholesale and retail merchants find it valuable because they are interested in market tendencies and market factors, not only as applied to their business, but also as applying to business in general. They need to know conditions local and remote. They need information to enable them to buy right and sell safely.
And the knowledge they need they can have for the insignificant sum of $3 an- nually.

to your best trade. These dyes are fast, brilliant, easy to use — clean the garment while dyeing ; give the same shade and depth of color to cotton, wool, silk, and linen in one dye bath, without staining hands or utensils. So simple a child can use them and it only takes 30 minutes.
These dyes created by Americans and made in America by American labor, are beini? extensively advertised in high-class publications. You are bound to have calls. Then, too. Sunset selling at 15c gives you more profit than you can make on any other dye.
Send for a stock to-day packed in a sales- stimulating container. Put them on your counter and watch the quick turnover. Hundreds of dealers are finding them won- derful repeaters. You can recommend Sunset Soap Dyes to the limit, the manu- ^^qrtiirers stand back of you. Why not investigate.'^

THE "NEW" MACLEAN'S
Starting with the January issue, MACLEAN'S MAGAZINE comes out in a new size — 11 x l|i4 — same size as The Saturday Evening Post. This change will enable us to give readers more enter- taining articles and stories, and a very much enlarged "Review of Reviews" Section. You will find this January issue of MACLEAN'S more pleasing and instructive than the great majority of magazines you find displayed on news-stands— and
contents are carefully censored — no sex stories — you can take it into your home , ivith the utmost confidence.
A word about the contents —
(i
Why Laurier Will Wait
In discussing the policy of the Liberal leader during the coming session of Parliament, J. K. Munro predicts, in January MACLEAN'S, that Laurier will allow Union Government a free hand. In this policy of inactivity "he sees the w y open to the accomplishment of all his purposes. If he is half the politician his friends believe h is, he will sit and smile and wait — yet a little longer."
All Canada is interested in what is going to h won in Ottawa. J. K. Munro, veteran press gallery man, is a shrewd observer, and his political articles in MACLEAN'S have stirred up more comment than anything else appearing in the p ess of the country. He knows politics from the inside. "Why Laurier Will Wait" is a forecast of the near future that bristles with interesting points. A few of the other "head-liners" in this issue: Bolsheviks at Work in Canada
A senstaional article on activities in subter- ranean circles. There are foreigners in Canada ready to wave the red flag.
Achievements of the Canadian Army
Since the Canadian Division was formed, they have not retired a foot nor lost a gun — a marvellous record. An inside story of how this great army was handled and controlled is told by H. F. Gadsby who spent a month at Headquarters during the last great offensive.
The Grave Dangers of Peace
An article by Agnes C. Laut on the insidious new propaganda being launched by the Ger- mans to split the Allies.
Jock in a Juggernaut
The most interesting war article in a long while, because it is new — it deals with ex- periences in the tanks.
AND THESE ^AS WELL:
The Dance Halls of Dawson - By E. Ward Smith My Hour - - - By Robert W. Service
The Strange Adventure of a Rialto Rainstorm
