This advertisement, paid for by the businessmen
listed below, is an invitation to our American friends
to visit Canada during the week June 28th to July
6th. It is not a casual courtesy, to "drop over and
see us some time," but a definite invitation. The
week chosen is "made-to-order" for the visit, embra-
cing as it does, Canada's "Dominion Day" and Unit-
ed States, "Independence Day." The plan is being
carried in practically all Ontario Weekly Newspap-
ers, and their combined circulation in the United
States, plus the many who will follow the suggestion
printed below and mail papers to American friends,
will ensure visitors that they will meet old friends
in their old home towns on the week specified.
The plan is by no means an "Old Home Week,"
and no entertainment is planned. It is designed by
Canadians to offset rumors prevalent in the United
States regarding conditions in a Canada at war.

Welcome to .Ontario
The war has made no difference to American travel in Ontario. Entry
to and exit front this premier province of the Dominion of Canada
is as free as in peacetime, No passports aro required of United
States citizens. The simplest form of indentifieation suffices for
Border -crossing purposes.. For proof of this—if proof be thought
necessary—one need but consult any of the thousands upon thousands
of delighted travellers who were our guests during 1910.
Let none of the "scare rumors" of which you may have heard last
season interfere with plans for future holidaying.
To Ontario, with its 100,000 square miles of lakes, woods streams,
scenic playgrounds and busy cities, its wonderful fishing and hunting,
its unsurpassed Canadian highways system, its complete freedom
from bridge tolls. amusement taxes, meals taxes, and local sales taxes,
and its primary desire to be a good host to friendly, understanding
neighbors, we cordially invite you again this year., A far larger and
more satisfying return on your American dollar than any mere prem-
ium—substantial as that premium may be—awaits your visit here.
Come and see for yourselves what Ontario has to offer in vacation
pleasure. I know you will not he disappointed.
' 14 I. F. HIEPBURN,
Premier, Province of Ontario
This year, July 4th falls on a Friday and provides
an excellent opportunity for a real weekend. All
that poppycock about food and gasoline rationing,
compuisory military service and the seizure of pers-
onal firearms and fishing tackle is pure undiluted
bunk. You never were as free in your life as you
will be on your next visit here. There will be a as,
on the neat, or a light in the window, depend-
ing on the hour of your arrival. Wind up the gas
buggy on that weekend and be here; expect to meet
old friends and enjoy yourself.
In the centre of this page, Hon M. F. Hepburn,
our premier, extends his invitation to American vis-
itors, and adds his assurance that their visit will be
as pleasant and trouble free as Canadian authorities
can make it. We, of Clinton, add our invitation to
our Premier's. As citizens of Canada, we know con-
ditions for what they are, and can back our Prem-
ier's statement to the limit.
