The old tweed that

still lives

On a cluster of smail
islands, 50 miles off the west
coast of Scotland, dedicated
craftsmen produce over four
million yards of hand woven
Harris Tweed each year.

This cottage industry is
one of a very few remaining
in a world of high technology
and mass production. The
Harris Tweed industry,
which began commercial
production about 1840,
continues to be the back-
bone of the economy of the
Outer Hebrides islands.

Consumer demand for
garments made from these
tweeds is so great that there
are currently more than

1,000 island residents who
treadle hand-operated looms
in their homes to produce
one of the finest wool fabrics
available in the world.

Originally Harris Tweeds,
which take their name from
Harris Island, were woven
only for consumption by the
islanders. In the mid 1800s
the woven fabric was made
available for commercial
Sale on the mainland of
Scotland.

By the early 1900s the
textile was granted a
trademark, marking the
beginning of the island trade
that has grown in it size and
production to meet
worldwide consumer needs.

Do you dress for

failure ?

Dressing involves much
more than making sure your
clothes are ironed = and
checking for runs in your
stockings. What you wear
and how you wear it forms a
great deal of your image — it
has enormous conscious and
unconscious impact both on
how other people react to
you and on your own self
confidence in dealing with
them.

In the course Dress for
Success being offered this
September by Capilano
College, women “on their
way up” will be given
guidance for on-the-job
dressing, being interviewed
for promotion and trying to
create a _ positive image.
