Accessory Service Important
This year one of the important consid-
erations in buying a car, will be the ser-
vice which the various accessory menu -
lecturers will be able to provide for the
convenience of the motorist Accessory
service has always been important but
with many service organizations depleted
during the war and not Yet built up, it be
hooves the prospective automobile pur-
chaser to look carefully into the oppor-
tunities he will have to secure service on
the accessories of the car.
Because of this fact the Willard Storage
Battery Company lost no time in rebuild-
ing its service organization with the re-
sult that Willard Service Stations all over
the country are now back on a pre-war
basis. "We realized the necessity for
rapid readjustment as soon as the arm-
istice was signed" said W. W. Wyneken,

TRIP TO THE WEST
Described In An Intereating Manner BY
• Mr Geo. Mason
S. S. Manitoba,
Editor Advance,
Dear Sir;
. According to promise, 1 send von a little
stuff to help 114 up your paper. The
plunder may be wise or otnerwise, yet it
may be a help to some who contemplate
a trip in, this directien. Thousands have
gone over' the same ground and could
write a much more graphic description
than 1, but few do so, as perhaps they
may think there is no money in it, or be-
ing so much absorbed in sight seeing and
selfish desires, time would only be mis-
vent, FIowever to begin with 1 wish to
pay a tribute to the kindness of Mr.
Beemer, not forgetting his charming
-assistance in paving the way, in doing
everything to make things pleasant, also
all other officals of the C. P. R„ who
practice the same thing. We Canadians
fail to appreciate the fact that we have,
shall I say, the eighth wonder of the
world in this mighty transportation sys-
tem, such as this great universe never saw
before and peihaps will never be equalled.
Starting at Liverpool to Hong Kong it
about half encircles the globe, reaching
out its tentacles in all directions giving
accoMmodation for travel on lakes, rivers
and oceans, having eight thousand miles
fo trackage, catering to multitudes in
their magnificent hotels and engaging in
other activities which are too numerous to
mention. The Yankees to the south of
us, blow and bluster about their big things
but they have nothing on us, they have
to take off their hats to the C. P. R.
Fancy a small population of eight mill-
ions with such gigantic institution, the
hundreds of -millions involved, the brains
at the back of it all, perfect system and
they make good every tirnel
This wonderful railway starts at a blind
end at a coal dump on Victoria Street,
Wingham and a little way up the line you
encounte'i a majestic pile of beautiful
architecture•commonly called a depot, the
residence of the aforesaid J. H. 13eemer,
dear reader don't judge harshly this sys-
tem when you see it. Many of you moss.
backs in Wingham have not seen the
great stations in this Dominion, so we will
• take you to Winnipeg, Calgary and other
places before we get through,
We turn our backs on beautiful Wing -
ham, the capital and metropolis of Turn -
berry and wend our weary way to VVrox-
eters the ancient pocket borough of the
late Hon. Thomas Gibson, but since his
death the place is only a memory. The
village smells Scotch and it is said the
natives keep the Sabbath and everything
else. Its chief glory now is the mill pond
and Presbyterian driving shed.
We are compelled by circumstances to
pass thrpugb another noted place called
Gorrie; from thesound of the name I
judge it must be Irish. my fancy leads
me to think that some former citizen of
Erin landed here and said, "Begorra this
is a fine place," so to have a civilized
name and become respectable, it was cal-
led "Gorrie." They raised "Kane" here
a few years ago, but cant say what they
are raising now since the advent of the
0. T. A. Fordwich sounds English, we
will call it English anyway, as there is an
Anglican church here. It is not officially
known why this place was put on the map
of Ontario, but the fact remains that it is
her and we will have to put up with it.
The three nations being represented and
dwelling together in unity and concord,
give a good setting and send off for a hike
across this great continent. Orangeville
is the end of the first lap. This place ap-
pears to be about a hundred years old.
They say it is a County Town, having
clustered about it six townsbips and alto-
gether it would make a first class back
yard for an Alberta Ranch. Being a
county town, there will necessarily be a
jail. I suppose the inhabitants need it
or it would not be there. There is also a
court house with a few lawyers hanging
around to give the place some tone. The
second stage takes as to Owen Sound, of
temperance memory. It loomed large a
few years ago and was very prominent in
whisky convictions and had a large free
'advertisement in consequence. I believe
it is real good now and is a pretty little
eity although it is as you know, a very
dry place yet there is a considerable
amount of water here. This place has a
number of industries afftl Seems to be
thriving. One good feature about the
place is, it sent to France a Bishop, who
was a high flyer and made his mark in
striding Germans to another world, The
main industry as far as it affects the writ-
er, it a Tooth Pick factory, so when you
indulge in, one at the Brunswick, you can
think of Owen Sound.
