Our Little Britain in the South :s a collection of families in close contact with each other, and dependent on each other for mutual happiues-. progress and prosperity. When or e family suffers others must suffer too. and our ilrst consideration should le j to spread as much joy and eontent- : ment as we possibly can right through | the big New Zealand family which ’ makes up the Dominion. ! . THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT The Christmas spirit of goodwill materialised in the form of gifts and presents, and you will find an adt.i tioual glow in the pleasure of gfvirg with the knowledge that the goodwill offering is the product ot.’ some New Zealand breadwinner. So excellent is the high standard of goods now made by our skilled workers, that we can take a real national pride la giving, or receiving, presents manufactured here.

THE FUTURE BENEFIT By doing their patriotic duty in supporting the workers of the country our buyers ore not only keeping outwheels of industry turning busily, tut they are expanding those industries for future benefits in which -our rising generation will share to the full. Within the past few days some 12,000 of our boys and girls have finished with school and arc starting life as young citizens t: help the development of their country. The future of many ot these eager youths and brightI eyed girls depends on the goodwii and support of our local buyers. If we prefer to buy the product!; of workers abroad there will be no employment in those Industrie:! for our own flesh and blood, j If our people will only get the habit of demanding New Zealand-made goods, and make it a matter of high principle to stick to New Zealand products whenever the opportunity occurs, they will create a wave of productive prosperity which will be of wide and lasting benefit. When i we send our work abroad we are impoverishing our own people. Give Dominion-made Presents and Create Happiness for our Workers. P.A_
