Germany is spending practically nothing in foreign countries, not only because 

 of the British Navy, but because she realizes the importance of keeping money at 

 home.

It is illegal to import from enemy countries during the war, either direct or by 

 way of a neutral country. Products that were brought in before the war started may 

 legally be purchased.

You are not assisting Canada or the Cause by purchasing goods that come from 

 Neutral Countries. Do not do so, unless it is unavoidable. Remember, Canada 

 first; the Empire next, Allied Countries third. Let our trade follow the Flag. 



Where were these apples and vegetables grown? 

 Where was this cheese made? 

 Where was this article manufactured? 

 Where was the raw material for its manufacture produced? 



These are the questions you should ask the dealer. We appeal to the women to 

 be patriotic in their shopping. 



Curtail as much as possible the purchase, particularly from foreign countries, of 

 articles classed as luxuries. These are extravagancies in War time. All available ship- 

 ping is needed for the transportation of food and other essentials of life. Room cannot 

 be spared for articles of luxury. 



Do you realize to what an extent foreign-made goods prevail in Canada? You will 

 find them everywhere if you look around you. 



On every hand you will see German and Austrian goods, ranging from lead pencils 

 to kid gloves. 



Germany and Austria will make every effort to seize the World's Markets after 

 the War is over. They are preparing now. They will endeavour to flood this country 

 with the output of their factories, and will succeed just to the extent that you consent 

 to buy them. Nationalized business, not individualized business is their aim. 



Help to build up Canadian industries while the war is still on, so that they may 

 be better able to withstand the pressure afterwards. Keep Canadian workmen employed. 

 Demand Canadian products. 



Here are some of the articles that we have been accustomed to import from Germany 

 and Austria: 



Lace, Toys, Artificial flowers, fruit and leaves, Socks and stockings, Gloves and 

 mitts, Dress fabrics and trimmings, Woollens and cottons, Chinaware, Glassware, 

 Cutlery, Combs, Buttons, Fancy Goods, Lead pencils, Drugs, dyes and chemicals, 

 Tobacco, pipes, pouches and other smoker's requisites, Binder twine, Musical instru- 

 ments and parts, Electrical apparatus. 



Great Britain is taking steps to give the preference to Canadian goods.
