Summer Furniture I Produced Here Literally millions of springs are manufactured every year by L. A. Young Industries of Canada, Limited. The company supplies every automobile maker in Canada with one or more quality products.

Besides the Windsor plant at 1441 McDougall street, there are two plants in Toronto and one in Montreal. Bedsprings and matti esses are famed L. A. Young products, and the company also makrs studio couches and summer furniture. Every year several millions of steel wire coat, hangers are turned out by the company in Toronto, and are shipped tn all parts of Canada and abroad.

Officials of the L. A. Young concern are deeply interested in solution of youth problems in this country and have been training a number of technical school students in pha-ses of their work. EMPLOY DESIGNERS Accompanying developments in automobile body styles have been similar changes in seat cushion vogues. To keep pace with this continuous style change.

L. A. Young Industries have employed additional mechanics and designers skilled in seat cushion work. Steel coil units manufactured by the company include uphoistery coils and inner springs. A superlatively high standard of quality in both manufacture and service is maintained.

Indication of the company's expansion is tne fact that business in 1938 was only slightly below 1937. which was a banner year that set new L. A. Young production records in Canada. In December, the month which ends today, employment figures were at their highest point in the company's history.

Wild statements in credit advert using are likewise disappearing, and nurd ereriit policies are beir.g followed, to assure a stable foundation for lasting good times. "The credit granter has come to ralize he has quire a distinct place In the community, inasmuch as he control', the obligations of Mr.

John Public." Mr. Silver says. "He does not load persons beyond their ability to pay, and is realizing; his respoiisi-bihty more fully than ever before." It is true that more stringent credit policies will cut down production In a sense, he admits, but that excess In production was obtained through Slowing extremely low down payments and long terms. SOCIAL SERVICE WORK "We do a lot of social service work here." Mr. Silver remarked.

"We are agisting many people to get out. of their difficulties.
