ma WINTER MOON

The moon is never half so bright As when she pours her silver light Down on a world of drifted white Through a calm midwinter night.

—By Otis Hiie in Christian Sci- ence liioniior.

WORN THE WORLD OVER

Almost every woollen garment you wear from ypur socks, your suit to your hat is made from British wool fabrics.

British uioullen goods have been famous throughout the worldsince that day. almpst 2000 years ago, a Roman emperor remarked: "The wool of Britain is spun so finc that it is likc a spider's web."

For centuries men and vromcn have worked to make the woollen industry the all important one in Britain and their craftsmanship combined with the quality of the wool have put British wool on the backs of almost everybody in the world.

Wool today makes up carpets as thick as walls and nightdresses transparent like glass,

But it has taken literally thous- ands of yr-ars to attain that height df perfection.

From a sheep's back to your back is a long and complicated business.

Wrapped In Sheeps’ Skin

The men of the new stone age who came to Britain from 2.500 B. C. onwards first wrappcd a shecps‘ skin around their bodies. Gradually they learned the basic art of spinning and weaving and cloth took its place.

Whcn the Romans landed in Britain, they found a developed wool industry, carricd on as a family occupation. Mcn, women and cvc-n children ivorkcd ai the trade.

British cloth was exported to Rome and the Roman emperors smirked with pride when dressed in their goi-gerous colored robes.

But it was the Normans who or- ganizcd the industry and found in English wool and its cloth a pro- fitable sourcc of revenue.

Late: foreign workers, thc at‘- rival of the Flemish in thc 14th cciziuigv, the Protestant Dutch and Walloon weavers and the Frcnch Hugucnots in the 16th century, brought new ideas and a wealth of experience to the trade it was said the industry had become “the flower and strengiih and revenue of the blood of England."

Three types of shcop, the Mer- ino. the crossbred (a mixture of Merino and English sheep) and thc pure English sheep provide the wool for thc goods you wcar.
