The second" annual dinner "of the employees of the Barrie Carriage Co. held at the Queen s on Thursday evening last was" a great success. Upwards of one hundred sat down, the banquet and the proceedings throughout being of the most enjoy- able character. President F. A. Lett occupied the chair, and associated with him were` Mr. S. Dyrnent, Mr. J. C. Irwin,`Mr. J. R. Hambly, Mr. W. C. Hunter, co-directors, and Mr. J. B. Barr, Manager of-the w orks. .All of these -gentlemen made short, happy post-prandial speeches, but it was reserved for the company s tra- velling representatives to tell those present with what favor the com- pany s output was being received by the buying public and how far-reach- ing the business had become. * Need- less to say, this information proved most gratifying and showed the Bar~ tie` Carriage Co. to be in the front [rank with its competitors. 11' r! can. Mr. S. -Barkley of Calgary, the com- pany s representative for Alberta, told of an increase of Iooper cent. in business there, and expressed the opinion that, from the satisfaction being given byothe Barrie Carriage Co. s goods, the sales would be again doubled the coming` year. Competi- tion. however, was keen. Eleven other rms were in the eld in A1- berta, some of which hadbeen estab- lished when the country had rst settled. The Barrie Carriage Co. stood second to none of these. ---_' -v-v--- -v -.'..v v. u.- Mr. C. W. Barker of Regina, Sas- katchewan, stated that in six months time he had done alconsiderable busi- ness, and he predicted that he would double it in 1910. H`.e_believed that he and Mr. `Barkley could handle the entire output of the company irl 1911, if prepared to take up his challenge. `:1 Mr. W. C.
