The Printer and Publisher says: -
"One of the most serious blows ever
levelled nt the retail trade of the Pro-
vince of Ontario. has been dealt by
the Whitney Government. In award-
ing the contract for the new Ontario
readers to the T. Eaton 'Coinpany. of
Toronto. they have done irreparable
injury to local merchants all over the
province. It is hard to realize that
the Government could have made such
a blunder. Tule hearty support of
the business interests of the cities.
towns and villages of the province
must surely menu more to them than
the favor of a Toronto department-
al ''tore. We are credibly informed
that permanent officials of the Gov-
ernment did not realize tvhat damage
they were doing when they .recom-
mended the acceptance of the Eaton
tender. It is no secret that the books
will be sold at a loss when disposed
of at the contract price. The Eaton
Company tendered away down just to
get the business. 'it means something
to them to have their name on the
books. It ti enns mere to have the
business in other school books and
(;implies. which will accompany the
readers. Cornering this contract teas
about the cleverest thing the Eaton
Cotnpnny ever did. The most dntnag-
ing feature of the cootract is the pro-
vision 'that the discount of twenty
per cent. allowed on the retail price
is nvnilab'e to nny one with the rash.
Thnt means that any boy or girl in
Ontario ran buy n reader just es
cheap a: the local merchant. The re-
tail merchants are ha rd hit.
GRAND Ti UNK NEV\OFFICES.
The Grand Trunk .Railway System
with their new organization in
Europe have owned n fine suite of
offices at 17-19 Cockspur Street. Lon-
don. one of the best locations in the
city. it is just opposite Pall NTnll
and the majority of the traffic from
Westminster and the west end of
London passes through this thorough-
fare to Picndilly. Oxford Street and
the commercial sections of the Metro-
polis. Canndians ttho visit Loudon
will find these offices complete in
every tvay and the Company nre de-
sirous of having all visitors from the
Colonies make th.•ir headquarters in
