"Aunt Susan‘s Visit Presented Minister Electrical Contractor «_ â€"Licensed and Bondedâ€" Estimates Cheerfully Given: No Obligation We Specialize on Rural Work $ P EER S Te A Challenge to Canadian Food Producers ... REAT BRITAIN wants more Canadian foodstuffs. The plain fact is that the increase in trade in some of our food exports to the old country is not keeping pace with the growth of demand. Britain‘s markets are wide open to Canada. Because of the exhibitions of Canadian products, the activity of our Trade Commissioners, and the effects of our advertising, the British consumer is smore familiar with these products than ever before, and consequently more inclined to buy. Good will in Great Britain towards Canadian products never has been at a higher point than now. All the facilitieés of transportation for all classes of products from Canada to Great Britain have been provided. Shall we Canadians overlook or neglect the opporâ€" tunities for increased export trade which are thus laid before us? Just because domestic markets are good, shall we as producers be so short sighted as to fail to satisfy so large a market which is more favourably inclined towards our proâ€" ducts than ever before?
