YEARS AGO 



BEFORE THE WORLD WAR 



We, and most staunch and loyal Americans, thought we could not stay 

 in business without European goods — particularly from Teuton countries. 



American Resources Were Undeveloped 



Through our supposed dependency on Europe, 

 AMERICAN INGENUITY WAS UNTRIED. 



This is what we did since cutting off of imports drove us into new fields of endeavor — 

 We erected our modern factory building wltii 300% added 

 space, already too small. We developed along new scien- 

 tific lines of production, almost unkown in the old world. 



RESULT 



What Europe had made for us— WE'VE MADE BETTER 



BASKETS - FANCY WREATHS - STAPLES - NOVELTIES 



Finer far than ever before, in much better variety. 



Spend your Americeut dollars for American- made supplies 

 and keep your own country prosperous.
