Market for British Manufactures.
As a market for British manufactures
Ontario presents an attractive field,
more especially in the lines in which,
United Kingdom manufacturers have
excelled for so long. Tire development
of Canadian manufacturing, of which
such a large proportion is carried on in
Ontario, leads one, to the conclusion
that the greater part of British trade in
this market will in future years be ton -
fined to the principal groups of manu-
factures which constituted the busin-
ess here of United Kingdom firms be-
fore the war,
Japanese Activities.
The activities of the Japanese con-

of samples of goods soldhere have

their competitors, -,.•

Editor, New Era, Clinton, Ont.
Dear Sir:—
I read with considerable amuse-
ment the comments of some of my OLD
friends of my age. You will notice they
saki nothing about my sprinting ab-
ilities. et made sue laugh to think of
those old geezers trying to kid them-
selves into the idea that they were
young. Wiry they were old men when 1
struck Clinton thirty years ago and I
ant sorry to see that they are now so
decrepit that they can't even get down
to put a Bowl away (I mean a Lawn
Bowl.) They must be getting very
stiff when a game like Lawn Bowl is
100 strenuous for them. Just to show
how young I ani 1 stepped out and won
the Chaucey Cup emblematic of the
Rink Championship of the Granite
Curling Club last year.
1f it had been Billy Jackson or John
Ransford who has said it, I would not
have thought anything of it but those
old has beens it is to laugh. t
I suppose their chief game now is to
stick arounl Dick Fair's store and tall
what they did thirty or forty years
ago.
You know they say this IS a young
country. It is. That is why 1 can go
nut and win foot races and captain base
ball teams while my old friends are dod
dering around looking for a soft place
to lei down. Why if they could only see
the way some of their oidtownsmen like
Drs, Bruce and Agnew, 31511 Fair„ Dr.
Gunn Dr. Shipley, and some more step
around they would be amazed.
Thanking you for space to put
those old fellows straight, I remain,
Your respectfully
W. Pat. Spalding
