The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1933-10-05, Page 3Ask Any Man in Whom You Have Confidence, About Life Insurance The mare successful a man is, the more he appreciates the benefits of life insurance. . . . For this reason we suggest that you ask friends, in whom you have confidence, what THEY think about Life Insurance; They know . . , they have seen the com­ fort and happiness that it has brought to so many of their friends. For example, by means of a Confederation Life Endowment Policy you can make provision for dependants until they become self-supporting. You can also provide that, if through accident or illness, you become totally disabled, your premiums will be waived dining the period of your disability and you will receive a monthly cheque to replace, in part, your lost earning power. And, finally, when the policy matures, you will receive the entire proceeds of the Endowment in a lump sum, or you may take it in the form of a definite Monthly Income for Life. The Confederation Life Association will gladly send you par­ ticulars of this most desirable form of Endowment Policy, if you , fill out and mail the coupon below. Do it now. It is well worth your while. Confederation Life Association, Toronto, Canada. Please send me particulars of your Endowment Policy, with Total Disability Benefits.

The person who knows real goods that the people really want to buy, who will be content with modest, neat, business surroundings, who does not imagine that expensive business prem­ ises are essential, who will personally attend to the last detail of his concerns, who will study salesmanship and teach the art of sales­ manship to his employees, will find that these are the best days for developing or founding a real business. Capital is to be had for such purposes and customers are waiting for real merchandisers. Is it a fact that salesmanship is a lost art? We know of a live busi­ ness man who says that it is. ♦ **•*♦»» SYMPTOMATIC The strike that recently broke out in Stratford is believed to be symptomatic. During this disturbance hundreds were the Vic­ tims of false leadership. There is no doubt about that. Hundreds of ■others who sympathised with one paTty or the other were the vic­ tims .of information that was away beside the facts. At any rate, it is simply too bad that the strike should have emerged just as busi­ ness was trying to get on its feet. The party to blame has a good deal to answer for. We’re not quite prepared to say who that party is. We do know, however, that winter is at our doors and -that there is need that the wheels of industry should be turning advan­ tageously to both employers and employees. ■ •«*••** GREED! Greed is getting this country nowhere. And yet greed is- working 24 hours a day and every hour so spent is spent destruc­ tively. Greed drives some merchants to destroy their competitors It drives, same employees to wring the last copper from sadly har­ assed employers. It impels some governments to violate treaties It drives armament workers to foment war. It turns skill into cunning and cunning it transmutes into ferocity. For the last‘tew months as our best and wisest were getting the world ready for prosperity, greed showed its hideous head and did all it could to kill the goose laying the golden egg of better times. There is not a labour dispute that now fills the air with disappointment but has greed as its prime moving force. Greed, however, is self-destructive though it has a satanic power of poison­ ing the minds of all who come under his terrible influence. * $ * * * * * CHEERING C- The Bank of Montreal has this to say of the past month’s trade: The course of trade has moved in somewhat larger volume dur­ ing the past month without spectacular incident. Confidence in the continuance of the recent improvement has not diminished, though it is thought progress cannot be rapid until there is further clarifi­ cation of external conditions. The N.R.A. policy in the United States is steadily extending its operations, and its practical efficacy will soon be tested. Canada’s external commerce in July showed expansion in imports for the first time in three years over the cor­ responding month of the year before and this gain continued m August, The balance of foreign trade was again favourable, mak­ ing the excess of exports over imports $114,774,000 In the last 12 months, a matter of moment in connection with the exchange value of Canadian dollars and the foreign obligations of the Dominion. Noteworthy, too, is the continuous proportionate enlargement of Empire trade under the terms of the British Commonwealth com* pacts of 19/32. In the twelve months ending with July, Canada’s proportion of export trade with the United Kingdom nose from 31.4% to 41,3%, and to the British Kmpift from 39,3% to 49.4 per cent, while to foreign countries the decline in exports was from 60.7% to '5>0,6%. In the matter of industrial production the month made a good showing. THURSDAY, OCTOBER S, 1983 A BAKING CHALLENGE to the women of 27 COUNTIES Mrs. T. P.

MORTGAGE SALE A hay rake, cultivator and a plow— The auctioneer cries “Sold!” and with a thud of wood collects a debt. A mortgage now! ' B.ut this was muscle, bone and human blood— The hand upon the fork, the foot on steel, The arms with tightened reins, the bending shoulders Against the firm restraint of sod could feel Through these no soft soil but the drive of boulders. The young man bends his head and feels the hair Of the long mane. He thinks of wind and sun Through its dull gleam. It’s chattel now to square The debt, if it were possible to run These hoofed feet through the economic maze. „ Now these proud horses, baby lambs, fat swine and docile cows take their determined ways Through paper—dead as figures on a line. " He sees once more his fertile acres, wide And clean, the white house through the garden gate, The barn and sheds. He sees his life denied, His forty years to satisfy a date!
