Welaka was strongly represented at
the Good Roads Convention in St. Au

Colors and Materials
Not Guaranteed"
Owing to the dye situation, no store will guarantee
colors.
We buy the best that can be had and we are assured
that the goods we have bought so far are dyed with the old
dyes, yet no manufacturer will guarantee them any more,
NO THIN MATERIALS of any kind, either silk or
cotton, are guaranteed as to wear. There is a great demand
for thin materials the manufacturers are trying to meet
the demands the people will lave them but no store will
guarantee them. We will however in case of complaint
take the matter up with the msnufacturers and get all ad
justment possible, but we cannot assume aay responsibility.
