SAYS PROSPECTS GOOD' FOR OBTAINING NEW INDUSTRIES 'Some of the things said at a Rotary meeting in Stratford this week by the new industrial- commissioner of that city are worthy of note: "Declaring that the purpose of his office," says the 'Beacon -,Herald, "was an endeavor to sell the advantages of Stratford rather than to buy industry, asserting his firm belief that there were bright prospects of new indus- tries locating here and claiming that with the co-operation of all the citi- zens a different story will be told at the end of the year n1 so far as in- dustry in 'Stratford is concerned, L. J. Satter, recently appointed industrial commissioner of the city, gave a splendid address before the members of the :Rotary Club Thursday. "Commissioner Salter's talk was just like a Spring- tonic. He pointed out the many advantages that Strat- ford possessed and the splendid repu- tation it enjoyed throughout the coun- try. "`It was a well known fact, declared Mr. Salter, that Canada was import - ing heavily many things that should be manufactured here. While there are now 500 branches of British and Aniercian' firms located ,n . Canada there has .been a growing desire par- ticularly in the last few years, on , the part of many other firms to come to Canada in order- that they might re- tain ,the markets that they have •es- tablished, for their goods. ‘"Competition for industry has de- veloped just e-veloped'just as fast as in any other lone,' asserted Mr. Salter. "'The opening of the ,present office in Stratford,' he continued,: `is an -en- deavor to sell the advantages of our city rather than buy industry. Com- munities are trying to get away from the would-be manufacturer who gets an idea and wants the community to develop it. At the present time we have good chances of getting well fi- nanced industries for the city.' "Mr. Salter very stronglycriticized the attitude of some persons, toward their city for in the opinion of some,. declared the speaker, Stratford had nothing to sell, 'There are many people outside the city who think more of Stratford than do the people who are livinginassented it,' a sse ed blr. Salter. 'We are not boosting the way we should, and until we are all work- ing together we will not have indus- trial expansion.' - THE SPRING SHOW A GREAT SUCCESS The annual 'Spring Horse Show held Isere today under the auspices- of the Seaforth Agricultural Svociety was a great success. The day was excep- tionally .fine and the crowd was the largest that ever attended a Spring Show in Seaforth. The 'quality of horse flesh was very high and: the judge, William Merrylfield of Ridge- to.wo, 'remarked the task of placing horses was difficult Owing to the very even quality of animals in each class. William, S.-Broadfoot, the President, and Directors of the Society deserve great credit for the manner in which. everything was carried out. - !Boys' judging competition had sev- en entries under the direction of Mr. Pan McLeod, Huron 'County Agricul- tural Representative.

WINS VALUABLE PRIZE. iThe current issue of The Druggist Journal contains the following item which refers to Mr. Elroy Brownlee, son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Brownlee of town: "The Nyal Co., Ltd;, of Windsor have sent. Mr. - W. E. Brownlee, of the Junior Class, O.C.P., one of the. first awards' in their sales contest for Canada" in 1930. Mr. Brownlee, winner of the same award in 1928 (a Langmuir Hartman ward- robe trunk) and also the Nalco ,Gold Medal for window display at the On- tario Retail Druggist's Association convention in London, showed that his fine work could be • repeated and as a result is wearing one of the fin- est ]Elgin solid - white gold wrist watches that is made: His success in the business world is .matched by his baseball ability while in London.
