Linen Table Cloths and Napkins
of Sound Merit

To say that there is still
a scarcity of pure flax linens
is not pessimism-it is
merely facing a fact which
cannot be ignored.
In Ireland there is a gen.
eral reluctance to sowing
flax, the farmers claiming,
and we believe with good
reason, that it doesn't pay.
Then, again, the Continental
supply is meager, the bulk
of the crop being absorbed
by the home looms. .
This, however, is a condi-
ton which cannot become
permanent. 1t is bound to
improve, but the improve
ment will take time.
