"A/ §1 pwsH r admiration I o' N m i? # O'? fv • k -S» Whilst most folks’ thoughts are daily centred on the progress of the war it is well to have a little diversion. Let us take you to Egypt where the finest Cotton in the world is grown —that is the finest for spinning and weaving into Cotton Dress Fabrics. Just imagine those vast tracts of cotton fields on the banks of the Nile, and the Egyptians, Bedouins, Arabians and Assyrians picking off the tufts of snow-white Cotton for transport to Lancashire. Now you are in the spinning and weaving sheds in the land where once the Wars of the Roses took place ; in the sheds one can imagine the thousands of huge bobbins winding on the newly-spun Cotton thread, thence to the loom sheds where it is woven into cotton fabrics of various kinds, from plain Cloth to dainty Voile. Again a further step is taken in this “travelogue ” when the cloths are taken to the printer, there to receive the impression of art, whence it comes forth ready for the finisher, and for shipment to all parts of the world. To New Zealand and the D.I.C. in particular, have come the lovliest and most captivating Cotton D ress Fabrics for Spring and Summer Wear you ever saw in your life.
