It is new to Canada - but it is the very symbol of dis- tinguished dependability in Great Britain and the other Empire countries. It enjoys the patronage of His Majesty, the King, and of world -figures in government, industry and society. It will inevitably take alike place in Canada. The "PORT" Tire is the highest standard in tires. A new standard — entirely beyond comparison. In its construc- tion there is no single element which might restrict per- fection— only the determination of its builders to create a tire worthy in dependability and appearance of the finest cars of today.

In these circumstances a "booster" beater will be installed at no first cost and the user will pay a nominal monthly. charge which may give him ownership of the heater at the end of a five year .period, Reasons for New Plan Like every other indsutry and en- terprise the Ontario Hydro Commis- sion has been affected to some, ex- tent by the long -continued depres- sion; On account of its diversified markets for a product essential to modern community life, however, the Commission has felt the effects of the despression less than most organ- izations and is in a relatively advanes tageotts financial position. Now due to a curtailment in the growth of industrial Mower require- ments, the Commission has at present a capacity for. delivering power in ex- cess of prevailing demand. The ,Coin- misssion is essentially a trustee for enable the Hydro Commission to ef- fect economies in its unit costs for power delivered. Stimulus to Employment While the primary reason for, the. new Ontario Hydro plan is to create more outlets for power, the fact that it will set thousands: of Ontario resi- dents to work again has been a con- tributory agent in the Commission's decision to go ahead. Raw materials will be absorbed in increasing gtiantities -- metals such as copper, brass and Stell will be ex- tensively used — engineers, electric- ians, tool makers, diesnakers, helpers, improvers and laborers, as well as people engaged in the silk, wire, rub- ber, :ureter and insulation, will be re- employed, Early orders have already beers placed in factories, foundries and industries throughout the Province acid tenders' have been solicited in the various municipalities so that 1s aeti- participate in the work involved. At the present economic , range, tenders already received have been so low that the utmost economy is anticipat- ed in the cost of the plan. Money to Circulate With a conservative estimate . that predicts a release of $100,000 into circulation for every 5,000 electric water heaters installed, the stimulus to wages and industrial: employment may be imagined. With the heavy financial investment in free installa- tion made by the Ontario Hydro Commission --and with a steady rev- enue proceeding from service to users ofelectric current — a constantly re- volving fund of money will be set in. motion, that will .benefit employers,• wage-earners and homes throughout the province. An Opportunity for Citizens The dieision of the Ontario Hydro Commission to install free electric water heaters in every Ontario home is , an opportunity, the, Commission- ers believe, for every citizen. The convenience and comfort of electric water heating is generally reogtiizdd and the fact that installation entails no charge and that Ontario rates for electricity are among the lowest in the world is a further advantage. The new low flat water heater rates will cost the user ,less ' than any other means of water heating. The heaters are absolutely trouble-free — are au- tomatically controlled, requiring no attention from the householder. Procedure is Simple The plan, as outlined by the' Ons tario Hydro Commission, has no el- aboration of detail for the home own- er, landlord or tenant who receives free installation of the water heater. When either of these indicates his desire to have a heater installed free, no matter where he is located in On- tario, a preliminary survey of his pre- mises will be made by his local Hy- dro System. This survey will deter- mine the coiulitions of the wiring its ail consttiners and it is obviously to cally every' section of Otttario will the house, the existing system of hot 1933 Sone Distinguished Users of DUNLOP FORT TIRES • His .Majesty King George V Hu' Royal Highness The Prince of Wales Hir Excellency The Governor General of Canasta His Excellency The Viceroy of India Captain Sir Malcolm Campbell Afik01 OFFICIAL, , WORLD'S AUTO SPEED RECORDS WERE MADE ON DUNLOP TIRES water ',supply and the requirements of the user as far as the hot water supply is concerned.
