In this matter the Synod applaud- ed to the echo the assertion of Rev. W.

This proves that telegraphs were used in Scotland al- ready in the fourteenth century."

The Canadian market -was thea controlled by China and Japan teas — the largest sale being China. teas of poor quality. These teas were be- i ing sold from chests, exposed to air, dust, dampness, foreign odours, and Iso forth, all detrimental to the gaul- ity of tea. In England, which was, and still is, the greatest tea -drinking country in the world, Ceylon and Indian teas of fine quality had prac- tically displaced China teas, and it occurred to Larkin that Canadians also would prefer these finer teas. He, consequently, introduced a Cey- lon and Indian blend to this Contin- ent. He then conceived the idea of packing it in metal packages, in or- der that it would reach the consum- er intact, with its flavour and quality unimpaired by dampness, store od- ours, etc. This step revolutionized the tea market on this Continent. He sought a name for his product and decided on "SALADA" which was the name of an old Indian tea garden. All that was left now was to tell the public about it. He -wise- ly decided that the quickest and. cheapest way to do this was by - means of the newspaper. The result was so gratifying that he continued to use the newspapers as his chief advertising vehicle from that day. He strove always to give the pub- lic the finest quality tea he could at the price and then advertise it for all he was worth. His achievement is the largest selling package tea in. North America.

Forty years ago this month in an unpretentious little building on Front Street in Toronto, the Salada Tea Company packed its first pound of tea.
