Many new materials are appearing on the markets to-day, and in consequence the demand for wool is less. This is a matter of serious concern to New Zealand, whose prosperiity depends so largely upon the success of this most important industry. „ The D.1.C., in a public-spirited attempt to stimulate the demand for woollen manufactures of all kinds, have conceived this Exhibition, the aim of which is to prove that there is no real substitute for wool. In a series of exhibits of a most interesting nature, there will be shown many improvements and innovations in the uses to which wool can be put, and also many new uses, decorative as well as practical. For the warmth of wool is by no means its only virtue. Consider the graceful delicacy of a Frock of Wool Lace and the incomparable daintiness of a Shetland Neglige. What smarter Ensembles than those of the new loosely woven Tweeds so unanimously selected for Fashion's most charming ideas. Even Silks, Satins, and other fashion fabrics are now backed with wool to ensure their sale during the colder seasons. If by means of this Exhibition we can increase the demand for wool, not only in consideration of the interests of the Dominion, but by reason of its own merits, our efforts will not have been in vain. For only by enlisting the interest and co-operation of every person in the community can the wool problem be satisfactorily solved. As a stimulus during Exhibition Week, Special Price Concessions will be made on Wollen Goods throughout Every Department of the D.I.C. . , the Exhibition will be Officially Opened by the Hon. G. W. Forbes on Tuesday, May 20th, at 10.30 a.m.

SINCE EARLIEST TIMES. Judging from the romantic fales of mythology, the value of wool was appreciated far back in the early days of Ancient Greece. For was not the goal for which the valiant "Heroes" performed deeds of wonderful daring and bravery, and risked honour, life, and all that they held most dear—the rescue of the Fleece"? Thus, all through the ages up till the present time, has wool been regarded as the fundamental clothing for all nations, worn first in its natural state and later, as civilisation advanced, in various forms of cloth and material. In the early Sixteenth Century, Matthew Paris writes:— "The ribs of all people throughout the world are kept warm by the fleeces of sheep." And the sentiment is echoed by Mrs. Brown and Mrs. White and Mrs. Everywoman of to-day when she remarks: "I ALWAYS wear wool next to the skin." / For her own sake an dfor New Zealand's sake, Heaven grant that she continue to wear it, not only as an undergarment, but for many, many other articles of attire.
