STRIKE OF NEW YORK
CLOAK MAKERS ENDED

NEW YORK—The strike of 45.00o
workers in the Cloak and Suit indus-
try was partially ended last week
when the Manufacturers Association
signed an agreement conceding most
of the demands of the Union. These
demands include the establishment
of week work throughout the indus-
try, a 4d-hour week, mininunn wage
scale and Union control over sub-
contracting shops.
There are still a great number of
independent manufacturers with whom
the Union has not settled as yet. Most
of them have applied for settlements
on the sane conditions as those en-
tered into between the Union and the
Manufacturers' Association.

An Announcement

We desire to announce at this time that there will be erected at the

corner of Washington Blvd. and Grand River Ave., one of the most

The world "Barcrest" means as much, implies as great and
unusual distinction; represents as much of standard quality
and actual worth and is as indicative of permanency, value
and superiority, when applied to the humble word
"Shingles", as does the word "Sterling" when stamped upon
silver.
It's even more significant ; it means that but one firm—
the originator of the "Barcrest" idea, the inventor of the
seecret and exclusive process, the manufacturer of the prod-
uct—only, can use that word which signifies the thing for
the roof of your home that is far better, more beautiful, more
enduring, more economical and more completely satisfying
than any other material for the same purpose on the market.
When you use "Barcrest" shingles—and you surely will if
you consider your own best interests—you will find that
they eliminate the annoyance and failure of self-dipping,
save a great loss of time, labor, material and money and
positively assure a roof of incomparable attractiveness for
all time.
There is positively nothing else that equals "Barcrest" pre-
served, color-treated, graded, inspected and bundled shin-
gles; anything less than "Barcrest" means dissatisfaction and
waste.
