Nor does the $40 million bill" for toilet preparations include what is spent on soap almost $50 million a year, As Infants demand their fair share of talcum powder, bath salts, creams and what not, they are included by the statisticians as full-Dart consumers. Babies may not use hair tonics, lipstick and rouge, but, according to the figures, they use more talcum powder per square Inch of epidermis than men and women combined. It's a necessity, they declare. A Lot Of Money That $40 million spent on rouge, dentifrices, perfumes, sachet powders, wave-sets, bril-liantine, etc. is a lot of money.

Merely for sake of comparison, it's only $9 million short of what the Department of Agriculture will have spent this year. It approximates the $39.1 million which the government spent on unemployment insurance during 1948-49 by way of contributions to the fund and administrative expenses. In a way, this huskv expendi ture for items which might for the most part be classed as luxuries" can be accepted as an indication of Canada's high standard of living. People who shell out $40 million a year for toilet preparations are not living next door to the poor house. The $40 million estimat ed expenditure Is based on production figures for Canada's Important toilet preparations Industry which has almost trebled its production during the past decade.

During 1948 the total value at the factory amounted to 972,000. The difference between the value at the factory and re tail levels is accounted for by various items including excise taxes, freight and other handl ing charges, and profits going to middleman and retailer. In 1941 (the only year for which com parable figures are available) the value of toilet preparations at retail amounted to $22 million as against a value of $11.9 million at the factory. 90 Plants In Canada It is apparent that while there STORE HOURS: 9 till 6 daily Except Wednesdays when we close at 1 p.m. 7k i "Where Fashion and Beauty Meet" 151 Sparks St.
