PLANS EDMONTON-TORONTO JOURNEY BY DOG TEAM
For some time 47-year-old Eugene
Fuller has been a well-known sight
around Edmonton in his dog-cart, but
he plans to leave there soon. He be
lieves he can make the journey from
the Alberta capital to Toronto, in 3
months’ time if his half-husky, half
coyote team performs up to standard.
Fuller drives Sambo and Nip regular
ly, but he carries Hobo on the seat
beside him as “auxiliary” power. It
is his hope that the trip to the east
will start a movement to popularize
dog travel in Canada. Fuller, who is
Belgian by birth and who served in
the world war, will make a tour of
eastern cities after he arrives here
during the summer.

Fifty-two years -ago, she became as
sociated in Toronto with the late S.
J. Williams in a day when a shirt was
made complete by one individual in
stead of the present method of hav
ing the garment tailored by a series
of separate and distinct operations.
When Mr. Williams came to Kitch
ener, then Berlin, and opened the
Williams, Green and Rome Co., Miss
Taylor continued in the service. Lat
er when the W. G. and R. concern
became the Cluett, Peabody Co. and
Canada Ltd., she still remained. In
fact, not until last Friday, one week
ago today, did she relinquish her po
sition, and then it was because of ill
ness. Her death followed on Tuesday.
Not for more than a day or two at a
time had Miss Taylor been absent
from her work' in her entire career.
In such high esteem had she been
held that she was one of four faith
ful employees remembered by Mr.
Williams in his will. To-day, the day
of her funeral, the flag is at half-
mast at the Cluett plant.”
