Pony Express Stock
Off Stock Exchange,
A Wall Street that has seen
transportationevolve from pony
express to trans-Atlantic air mail
service in less than a century was
reminded of the speed of progress
in a simple announcement the Stock
Exchange was dropping from its list
the shares or‘Wells Wells Fargo and
Company.
It was just a century ago - at
the peak of the horse and buggy
days - the Wells Fargo Express
business got its start. It adeveloped
into the celebrated pony express and
service for handling gold and other
valuable shipments in the wild years
of the West when Indians and high-
waymen menaced the mails.
On Wells Fargo pay rolls for years
was William F. Cody, the Buffalo
Bill of Western romance.
The Stock Exchange, with SEC
approval explained it was delisting
the stock because trading virtually
had ceased after the sale of the ex-
press and banking business.
Shifting with the times, Wells
Fargo is seeking to bring the name
back on the national transportation
stage. It has started "intermediate
express" business for consolidation
of less -than -carload shipments be-
tween Atlantic points and California,
by way of the Morgan Steamship
Line to Galveston and then over the
Southern Pacific Railroad,
"We hope to broaden the service
through use of modern transporta-
tion," said E. R. Jones, head of Wells
Fargo, who knew Buffalo Bill and
listened to stories of frontier deeds
straight from the lips of the old
scout.
The express business formerly
handled by Wells Fargo, by the
Adams Express Company and Am-
erican Express Company was con-
solidated in 1918 into the American
Express Company, then sold to the
railroads in 1929 to become the Rail-
way Express Agency.
Wells Fargo Company was organ-
ized in New York State in 1852 as
a joint stock company to carry on
an express business that had a prim-
itive beginning before the railroads
had penetrated far.
In. 1867, the, Holladay Overland
Mail and Express Co., created by a
special act of the Territory of Col-
orado, ' acquired Wells Fargo and
Company the Pioneer Stage Co., and
other interests. Out of this came
the existing company..
The famous pony express service
was established in 1861. Wells Fargo
riders carried Civil War news to the
budding West.
The shares were traded on the
Stock Exchange for more than half
a century.
1940 AUTO MARKERS
The 1940 motor vehicle license
plates for Ontario will have larger
letters and figures than the 1939
plates, •according to Information re-
ceived from St. Thomas Metal Signs
Limited, which is in charge of pro-
duction. The color combination for
1940 will be black letters and fig-
ures on a yellow background. The
plates will be the same size as the
1939 plates. ' Samples of tine new
plates have been received at the St.
Thomas plant.

Happy Landings
Marvellous Carpet of Light to Aid
Aviators
Something more to help the air-
man in coming down, which is more
perilous than going up, hes been
provided by a new way of lighting
the landing field.
A strip of the field 1,000 feet long
and 200 feet wide is floodlighted, not
from the side nor much above it, but
from near the ground itself. Twenty
separate lights, each only about a
yard' above the ground are placed 100
feet from one another in parallel
lines 200 feet apart. The carpet of
light thus provided is uniformly il-
luminated and there is nothing to
dazzle the airman. He can see noth-
ing but the light strip, and it is
plain for him to see.
Each lamp is served by its own
battery which keeps it alight for
eight hours. The cost of the entire
equipment and of redharging . the
batteries is small, and it can be eas-
ily .moved from field to field. It
comes from the United States, It is
fool -proof, and in foggy weather the
carpet can be laid where the fog is
thinnest.
CANNED POTATOES
A new industry -.potato canning
has been established on Prince Ed-
lvar.'d Islanrd. Select grade island
potatoes are first electrically peeled,
then steam cooked and vacuum sealed
in cans. By this method, it is claim-
ed, all the valuable mineral salts are
retained. The finished product is de-
signed to further extend the reputa-
tion of island tubers. One of the
advantages claimed by canning
potatoes is that the processing will
tend to stabilize the price of tubers,
benefiting both the consumer and the
producer. The canned product may
be used in a variety of ways and has
the advantage of being ready to
serve at a moment's notice and
Marketable in any country, tropical or
temporate,: at any season of the year,

Book of September, 1887, containing
ratings of Merchants, Manufacturers
and Traders of Clinton reveals that
fifty-two years ago the, town, was in'
a flourishing condition if one cane
judge by the number of persons in'
business at that time. The popula-
tion is listed at 2,600. We believe,
our readers will find enjoyment :in
looking over the names of those who
catered to the wants of the pmblic

was not comparable with present-day
'speed the travelling public found it
necessary to depend on ')hotels for

of ten hotel keepers would indicate.

It Can Be Done
Some people might read and learn
from an editorial which recently ap-
peared in the Lindsay Daily Post. It
runs, "Some people seem to have
little faith in their home town and
its people. If the effort is made to
accomplish some needed improve-
ment, they talk discouragingly, and
do not see how it can be done. If
the organizations are carrying on
various enterprises, they are likely to
see flaws and defects and to find
little to praise. These folks do not
mean any harm, and they simply fail
to realize how easy it is to discour-
age other peeple from aotivity. This
attitude may mean that these people
expect too much, and their home
town comes so far short of their
ideas that they continually express
dissatisfaction. That attitude does
not help a particle. It makes people
think that improvement and progress
are hopeless. The people who say
"it can be done", when any practical
plan is offered, encourage every good
movement."
Fashion Predictions for
Milady
Notwithstanding the fact that sum-
mer weather is still prevalent, far-
seeing stylists are busily preparing
milady's wardrobe for the Fall. Ad-
vance models from recent New York
and Paris shows, and the' predictions
or the famousi couturiers will be
described by Thelma Le Cocq, Can-
adian fashion authority, in a series
of four talks on the National Net-
work of the CBC on Tuesdays, 4.45-
5,00 pm. EDST, from . August 29 to
September 19 inclusive.,
Miss Le Cocq's first talk will ad-
vise "What to Buy First". This will
be a preview of the fall styles, and
serve as well, to discuss the first
costume that every woman needs
upon her return from summer, cot-
tage or holidays,
In later talks, this fashion, expert
will be heard in "What the Teen Age
Girl Should Wear", which is the bane
of both mothers and growing daugh-
ters when the in-between stage is
reached. -
Exhibits at Fall openings will be
reviewed in another broadcast, and
descriptions of coats, dresses, shoes,
hats and accessories will be 'given.
In herlast talk, Miss Le Cocq will
advise on home dressmaking, both in
the remodelling : of a 1988 wardrobe
and in the marking of a new Fall and
Winter one.

PICTURING OUTINGS
On an outing, watch for amusing in-
cidents, informal moments. Avoid
stiff, posed shots.
SUMMER picnics and outings are
l7 fun -and the fun can last, if you
bring back a collection of snapshots
that really tells the story of the
day's activities.
Getting such snapshots isn't diffi-
cult when you keep your eyes open
for incidents and details that truly
explain the "what, where, and how"
of the picnic.
Don't bother with stiff, posed
group snapshots. Make "story" pic-
tures. Get a shot of someone coming
down the steps with a heavy picnic
hamper ... putting it in the car ....
a picture through the wind -shield
showing the picnic grove as you ar-
rive. Snap a series of shots which
show the spreading of the cloth .. .
the setting out of pickles, cake, and
sandwiches ... cutting the cake...
"close-ups of individuals munching
away ... sports or games after lunch
, . the girl friend getting her skirt
caught on a barbed-wire fence. If the
picnic lasts into the evening, take a
time exposure of the group gathered
around the campfire, singing or tell-
ing stories. They'll have to hold still
for this one, and the camera must be
firmly supported on a handy post or
table -but it's a worth -while picture.
When you make a aeries of "story-
telling" snapshots along this line,
you have 'something that gives far
'more satisfaction 'than' a few scat-
tered, random snapshots. And it's no -
trouble. Most of the pictures you can..
capture when your subjects are "oft --
guard" -not even aware a picture,
is being taken. Other pictures may'
require a little posing, but as long
as you make the picture show some,
incident, something going on, it.
won't have that stiff, "posey" look..
Try making a series of related,
"story -telling" snapshots on your
next picnic or holiday outing. You'll
quickly decide that's the way all
your pictures will be taken on such.
occasions In the future.
