He saw nearly every kind of handle imaginable. He des- i rilled several of the machines, the drying kiln, storage sheds, etc., and what lie saw gloriously surprised him. He thought the factory would Ik* a boom to Exeter and lie hoped the citizens would give, them a royal welcome. (Councillor Rivers said he impress- the tac­ tile best been of- Councillor H. C. Rivers was greatly surprised and cd u hen lie went through lory. lie thinks it one of propositions that has ever fered to Exeter and there was not a shadow of doubt about the financial standing. Certainly Exeter needed factories and they would never have two until they got one. R. G. Seldon Sunday night after church Both the Henderson boys are far away from the old home. But Sunday is still a very special day for Father and Mother, for every Sunday night after church the tele­ phone bell rings and the old folks know that one of the hoys is calling them from the distant city. Harry calls one week, and Fred the next. Long distance is wonderful for keeping family ties strong. It is so simple, so inexpensive, to call distant friends for a few minutes’’ chat. And how welcome is the sound of their voices! Do you call friends by Long Distance ? The Evening Rate aftei* 8.30 is very low. “Every Bell Telephone is Long Distance Station." a 715 Rumble, (.x-mayor and president of '.he Columbia Handle and Lumber Co., was first called iiyin to speak. Mr. Rumble said that it was an unexpected pleasure to address a meeting in Ex­ eter, although he bad not been in­ formed that he was to speak until after he had arrived here. He was , not. going to ten the citizens how to vote but to tell some of the reasons v,hy the company had reorganized and were seeking a now location. The company had come to London thirty- ■ three years ago from Tliamesville and during that time they had not , been shut down for two weeks at'a ’ time. The plant was situated on C. ' N. R. property in London and the. rent for the property had consider­ ably increased since the company started. The buildings were in a poor state of repair and the railway refused to spend any money on them and the company had come to the conclusion that it was best to re­ build. The company had been re­ organized with younger blood with Mr. Seldon as its president. The assistance being asked from ibe town of Exeter was nothing what­ ever in companion with the benefits to be received. It aught to employ about forty hands all the year round. Mr. Rumble cracked a little, joke at the expense of the furnace-1 in the town hall which had filled the building with smoke, when he said that after a year or so the town might be able to put in a new heat­ ing system from the benefits deriv­ ed from the company. The concern had always been a good live business and had always made a pofit. In Exeter the taxes would be consider­ ably reduced; the overhead expenses would not be as high; there was a splendid location on the railway and he could see no reason why it should not become a huge success. He would still hold connection with the company but did not intend, moving to Exeter. He said that his first vote was cast in Huron County. Mr. Seldon said he was interested in a financial way. The» company had made money and he saw a splen­ did future for it. It was purely and simply a money-making game. At present the company are paying $720 rent; $885 in taxes and ar paying a high fire insurance rati There would be a saving in ove, head expenses and the company fi­ gured on a saving of $3000 a year. The cost to the town would be about $250 a year for ten years, about half of this amount would be paid back in school and county taxes. The additional homes heads of families to Exeter would sum of $30 0 to collected on the land to be occupied in Exeter are about $20.00. required by the who would come pay taxes to the $40 0. The taxes S. M. Sanders Mr. 9. M. Sanders stated that he had visited the factory and had been shown through several buildings. It was a glad surprise to see the ex­ tent of the business and the varieties of handles manufactured. He said it was impossible to describe the output of the factory. 1-Ie didn’t know there were as many kinds ot handles manufactured, opportunity of ter should not of securing the It was the a lifetime and Exe- miss the opportunity factory. John W. Taylor Mr. Taylor said that he had heard questions being asked on the street end he thought the present time a good time to have them cleared up. It had often been stated that indus­ tries were what Exeter wanted. Every family brought to town was an asset. He was pleased with the information given and appreciated the offer of the company to locate here. In voting 'for the by-law we were voting for our own interests as well as for the interests of the com­ pany. Mr. Patterson M. R. Coinplin Mr. Complin thought the impor­ tant question to Exeter was whether the town was amply protected and the statements made show that we The company have too much Was Laid Up With Boils Her Back Mrs. Vincent Muise, Tusket, N.S., writes:—“Last summer I was laid up with boils on my back. I could not lie down, or do anything. I had fifty­ throe of them. One of my friends advised mo to try B. Snell do ar Bi B JI 111 hiW'JiF !5>' Mr. Patterson, sales manager, said that the company would un­ doubtedly add something to the town. The assets are 'about $40,000 with liabilities about $3000. There will be quite an expense in moving to Exeter. The shareholders of the company are not going to risk the loss of $45,0oo for the sake of the loan asked of Exeter. They expect to erect a building about 40x 150 ft possibly of cement. He stated that they had been offered a factory to locate in another town. The present inventory of the mach- th" most important clause in the re- inery is $17,000, the original cost $35,000. The insurance varies ac­ cording to the stock in hand. The town would hold enough insurance to protect the loan in case of fire. are. at stake to pull out at any time. With the insuance and the mortgage on the building and machinery there was no question about the security. You may not agree with Mr. Seldon politically, nor as a citizen but you must agree that he is a successful business man. He has put his good money into the company and expects to reap results. Mr. Complin stat­ ed that he had secured an indepen­ dent report of the company which bares out all that has been stated, port was to the effect that all the irfwirr of the company were of -plendid character, habits and abil- ~’t” ani the business was under cap- monnwment. - ••uri: H Is Yours When You Make images, AsterGroomPearCannon TulipAutoPeach LilyBoatApple PetuniaCanaryCorn Daffodil Deer Rose Orange Elephant Rosebud Carrot Camel Potato Bear Heart Duck Lion Turkey Order Early Thus.

The man of tin? company have been favorably known for years in the nearby city and he thought our council had driven a hard bargain and were getting good value for their loan. Mr. Harvey thought it the best propositions that ever had. He spoke of land that might, be used for growing timber, he thought there was a fu­ ture for the factory and could not see how they were going to fail. He could hardly see how anyone could vote against it. Mr. W. A. Balkwill said that as a boy there was hardly enough but­ ternut hickory in this community to make an axe handle. To-day there are hundreds of cords of it. Mr. Rundle stated that timber grows faster than we imagine, he had bought 200 trees that were planted out 30 years ago. Mr. J. A. Stewart stated that re­ organizing a company and with young blood, full of pep at the head the company would be able to in­ crease its production to many fold. He thought that it Mr. Patterson was an example of the rest of the executive he could see no reason why it would not be a good concern.

Hliall we lose the Right road or find it At I of the Two Way;-; Will wi ■ IL,a l thar lead;; to Life to the End of our days. (hat cannot be travelled, illy pick out our path; .mis, the bogs and the marshes :o escape our Lord’s wrath. is and hills rise before us, —a beautiful plain, right by day and by night for it leads to the end of the lane. It's a wide road with some places narrow, It’s a good road with some places bad, It is strewn sometimes with much sorrow, And sometimes it makes our hearts glad. Tt’s the way of life; not what we make It For God hath decreed it to man To labor and suffer and sorrow and mourn, It’s a part of the Master’s gnat plan. All roads are not the same length. For some are a hundred miles; And some are measured by inches, “I speak of the death of a child.''' Just why the difference, I cannot tell But some flowers are best in full bloom; While others in bud1 their glory is seen And their passing seems all too soon. But it’s the way of life and the road leads' home, On! on! for it leads to eternity's shore; Shall we make it or miss it in the next lew laps, That joy and gladness for evermore: For narrow is the road and straight is the way, That leads to eternal 'life, And wide is the road and broad is the way That ends in eternal strife. AU roads lead to the end of life; But some are strewn with thorns AVhile others are fraught with roses That bloom for the one who mourns. If you listen you can hear the sweet music.
