For several months there has been a great scarcity of glace kid until at last , supplies are almost unobtainable .

You will be agreeably surprised at the smart appearance they present , and the remarkable comfort in wear . Our foresight in ordering twelve months ahead of requirements , enables us to offer them at competitive prices . You will encourage thrift and do yourself a good turn by securing a pair to - day .

There is a deep and growing feeling that the movement for home grown food production is not only worthy of every effort as a war - time expedient , but must be strengthened and de- veloped as a permanent feature of our national life . In furtherance of these objects it is proposed to make an effort to bring together into a National Association of Allotment Holders all those who are engaged in this great and growing movement .
