Cement In Demand.
The past year has witnessed a great
demand for cement. It is now being
used for floors, sidewalks, foundations,
silos, ornamental stonework, etc., etc.
It is estimated that the average quan-
tity of cement used yearly in Canada
is twelve million -barrels. There are
nine factories producing the commo-
dity, and these manufactured this
year, 815,000 barrels. The remainder
required for use in 1902 was imported.
Canadian factories expect next year to
tarn out over a million and a half bar-
rels of cement. Several new factories
are in process of construction. The
Monetary Times had an article in its
last week's issue dealing fully with
this topic.
Five thousand choice Oranges, One
Ton of Confectionery, Nuts, Etc.,
arriving this week at the "Star
Restaurant" for the Xrpas. trade.
The Treating System.
The Toronto World is opposed to
Prohibition, but it is also opposed to
the "treating system". In a recent
issue the World said :—A majority of
the voter's of Ontario may not be able
to secure prohibition, but the people
have it in their own hands to do away
with the treating system. The "come
in and have something" custom lies
'very close to the root of the bar -room
evil. It is an ever present curse that
is largely responsible for our annual
crop of drunkards. Through it our
young. men are fret led into the eros,-
ses.which eventually render them vic-
tims of alcoholism, and unprofitable
citizens. Abolish it, and we shall to a
great extent abolish the evil of in-
temperance.

Prospering.
The Canada Furniture Manufactur-
ers Ltd. operating Wingham factories,
have moved from Aberdeen Chambers
to 136.138 King St. E., Toronto, where
they have greatly improved and in-
creased accommodation. At present
they have 4,500 sq. ft. of office space
'on the top floor, besides two floors de-
voted to the purpose of showing
samples. These occupy 6,000 square
feet each. On the fourth floor are the
Secretary's office and Board room.
This concern now operates no less
than 21 factories, each one of which
is devoted to some special line. At
the present time they are putting up
itt Waterloo, Ont., a new and up-to-
date mattress factory. The present
year has been an exceptionally good
season for this enterprising company,
and it, is satisfactory to note that the
company is meeting in full measure
with the success which was anticipated
for it. In the new quarters it is more
possible than ever to thoroughly
centralize the whole business, offices,
show-rooins and sales department all
under one roof—and one feature
worth noting is the remarkable light-
ness and airiness of all departments.

The first anniversary of the new

for. Over eight thousand dollars have
beets paid in cash, and we understand
that Mr. Fessant, the Treasurer, has -
$1,800 available for, payment on re-
maining principal. This most excel-

WINGHAM DOOR FACTORY.
THE DEAR OLD SHOP.
Have you ever heard the story
Of the darling little place
Whore enchantment fills the building
to the top—
Where the happy lads are working,
With a smile on every face,
As they labor in the dear old shop ?
Ono.—Oh the dear old shop,
'Tis the joy of my heart;
I love it from• the bottom to the top 1
Every board upon the wall
Has a charm for one and all
Who labor in the dear old shop.
They may talk about their factories,
Their offices and stores, [stop
But when they hear my story they will
For the dearest spot in town to -day
Is where we snake the doors,
As we labor in the dear old shop.
Now the old iron pulleys
Haven't any time to rust; [stop,
The machines have all forgotten how to
And the omen who work upon them
Get accustomed to the dust
As they labor in the dear old shop,
They are making preparations now
To build a great af-tair—
I expect they'll put a tower on the top—
But 'twill not be half so cozy
As this little spot so dear,
Where we labor in the dear old shop !
