SHARP GAINS
John Irwin, 'President,- Outlines Prog-
ress of Expansion Programme
Endorses Newspaper Advertising
Montreal, May 14 -Showing sharp
increases over last year, sales of
products of Canadian Oil Companies,
• Limited, were higher, both in dollars
and in volume, during the first four
months of 1940, than in any corres-
ponding period hi the company's,
history, according to a statement
made by John Irwin, President of the
company, in an interview here today.
"Business to date this year has
been excellent", said Mr. Srwin, "and,
as we are now in the process of.ina
add that work on themodernisation
of our marketing outlets, laid out ac-
cording to a well defined plan, is
steadily going forward."
Turning to the company's sales
promotion programme, Mr. Irwin
stressed the fact that the bulk of
the 'company's advertising appropria-
tion for 1940 will be spent in news -
rapers.
"While all forms of advertising
have their merits", he said, "it is
my opinion that newspapers must al-
ways play a leading role in any well-
rounded -out advertising and sales
promotion plan. After taking over
the direction, of this company last.
year, one of my first decisions was
to make every advertising dollar
work as effectively as possible. A
result of this decision is the news-
paper advertising campaign on which
we are at present embarking."
troducing several new products to
the Canadian public, we look for fur-
ther increases as the year progres-
ses."
Queried as to construction activities
with which the company is at present
proceeding, Mr. Irwin replied that
these include large scale improve-
ments and alterations to the refinery
at Petrolia, Ontario; the erection of
additional storage tanks for the stor-
age of crude oil and gasoline; and
the laying of a new 17 -mile pipe -line
from the refinery to Froomfield the
company's water -port on the banks
of the St. Clair River.
"To the best of my knowledge,"
said Mr. Irwin, "this is the first pipe-
line construction undertaken in East-
ern Canada in many years. The money
which we are spending on this and

Peel's New Reforestation Scheme
Gets Under Way in Albion' Township
Planting of Peel's most pretentious
reforestation plod, thirty acres near
Sandhill in Albion Township, began
yesterday under the direction of J. F.
Simmons of the provincial forestry
branch. Fifty thousand trees, most
of them Scotch and jack pine, will
be put in during the current week
on the barren blow sand purchased
early this year by the county.
No ceremony attended the plant-
ing, for which arrangements had
been made by N. L. Powell, county
engineer, and C. D. Graham, agri-
cultural representative for Peel.
Most of the county councillors were
busy at their seeding, and it was
necessary to get the small trees into
the ground while the moisture from
the past winter's snow remained near
the surface.
The plot has been a landmark for
the countryside for about 15 years.

Population of Canada at the last

then it has been increasing at the
rate of about 100,000 a year, accord-
