Tale the wedding rlns. for instance. which is always worn on the third ﬁnger of the left hand because. accord- iugdo supe ition. s certain artery proceeds straight from the heart tothe termination of that ﬁngor. - Anotherexplsnsticn is that st one time the custom was for the bride- groom to place the ring on the thumb ‘of the bride with the words "in the insme.of the Father." changing it to the ﬁrst ﬁnger with "and of the Son." to the second ﬁnger with "and of the Holy Ghost." and then ot the third. where he let it remain. with an "Amen."

The custom of wearing s wedding veil is one of the most widely adopted in the world. Lang years ago s bride went to the marriage ceremony with her hair hanging over her fare, and it is from this custom that the wed- ding veil is supposed to have origin- nied.

First Wedding Cairo

- Eating a special cake at weddings is a custom that ls very ancient. The early ltomnns broke a rake over the bride's head as a symbol of plentiful- ncss. in the middlc ages hundreds of guests were entertained at wedding feasts which lasted several days. A huge pile of small. richly iisvored cakes were heaped at the head of the table before the bride and groom.

fosluck these rakes were broken into squares over the bride's head and then were scrambled for by the guests and carried away to bring iu . After n time the idea was conceiv of making the cakes in one muss and icing them and that was thc first wedding cake.

The custom of throwing a shoe after the bride for luck is a survivafof an old Bible custom, when a shoe was taken oi‘! as a token that certain rights p! possession \\‘i'l'E_ surrenders-d. At one time women were considered the pro- perty of their father or nearest male relative, and a Saxon husband hung a slipper-then n symbol of nuthority~ in a prominent [D1000 in the bride's home. ~ '

seats a shoe to the bridegroom as a token that he yicitls up his rights in her. Original Best- Man. _ in early days when force reigned supreme the Angiotﬂuxon lover pro» cured his bride by simply lying in wait for her, clubbing her and dragging hcr oli’. As the lady was sometimes pur- sued by her iricmls. the lover would generally have n friend to help him draw them of! in another direction or to light them. This friend is probably the (irlgln of "host man." Though a bride's attire may be vsr~ led. according to tradition. neither blue nor green must be worn by her. both colors being considered particul- nrly unlucky. The saying goes:

ii’ ilrcsscil in blue She's lure to rue.

At one time a custom prevailed in some district of England of present- ing the bride on her arrival on the threshold of her house with a cake on a piste. throwing the remainder over her shoulder as typical of the hope that they would always have plenty with something to spare. -

Races used to be run for rlbbons_ after s wedding ceremony in some vil- lager-the proud winner receiving his trophy. with s hiss ss an additional reward. from the bride.

Nowadays this is sometimes claim- a. by the best man siter the marri- age service.

DUNL 0P TIRES

'30 Years in Canod

Many a man is driving a motor today who was. not born when Dunlop Tires ﬁrst appeared on the highways of Canada.

Thirty yea-rs is a long time in the Tire business. It is the very beginning of the industry. 1888 saw the world's ﬁrst pneumatic tire; 1894 saw the industry taking hold in Canada.

Doesn't it stand to res- son, in view of the above facts, that we must be better equipped and bet- ter qualiﬁed to serve the exacting demands of Tire users?

Knowing the pset o! the Tire Industry so well, we must have pretty good intuition regarding not only the ‘needs of the present, but the possibili- ties oi the future. '

‘Money cannot Buy More-Usage cannot Demand More-than‘ what you get with present-day Dunlop Tires.
