The major portion of this humanitarian work Is of course arrlcd on In P.nstorn Kuropc. It Is there that tho bulk of the world's Jew- sh population lives. Tbo fact that these same nations have been perhaps anlest hit by (be late wur, explains why World Jewry Is at tho greatest crisis In Its history.

This is the brand that most of the Astoria fishermen ' wear in their business. The garments are not simply made up of muslin and then dipped in a vat of oil as the inferior garments are. But the heavy drill is soaked before it is ever cut; just soaked in il and then rolled until thoroughly saturat ed and cured. We have other rain coats, cheaper, but this particular 'Walrus Brand js so constructed that we can, with entire confidence say to a buyer, "put this on and wear it all day in the hardest kind of a rain and if it does not keep you perfectly dry, your money back." In all these years we have carried these exceptional slickers we have taken back but five or six and these because of a leak in a faulty seam and not in the body of the s(tock. Men who know tobacco, chew the best without its costing them any more. They take a little chew and it's amazing how the good taste stays in a rich, high grade chewing tobacco. For lasting tobacco satis faction, there's nothing like a small chew, of that rich-tasting tobacco.
