Interest stops on that date so be sure to arrange to cash your bonds and reinvest in the New Canada Bonds. Many thrifty people keep only enough money in the bank to take care of their current expenses because they can get much better interest by investing money in Canada Bonds. They do not want to waste this extra interest and they know that, there is no safer place to keep their money than in Canada Bonds which they can cash quick­ ly any time they wish. 1 Write or phone now to Wood, Gundy & Company Limited 36 King Street West Toronto 1 Telephone: ELgin 4321 ANIMALS COWS - $2.50 each HORSES - $2.50 each HOGS 7£T50c cwt. ‘ According to size and condition Phone Collect EXETER 287 INGERSOLL 21 ■ v 1 William Stone Sons, Ltd INGERSOLL, ONTARIO Mr. Bert Watson of Kincardine spent the week-end with Mrs* W.
