Mr. Roadhouse said the product of the Niagara growers was one of Canada‘s greatest bssets and he accounted it a deplorable fact that the growers had sustained the losses they did in the season just reâ€" cently ended. ~By centralizing their forces he was confident that better results would accrue not only from the standpoint of sales but‘ in transâ€" portation facilities and other import ant matters as well. *"‘Mr. Dougald representing the C.

He had no doubt whatever but that the diffiâ€" culties in getting speedy transportaâ€" tion would ibe largely overcome if the growers organized themselves as one ‘body. "One selling organization n a district such as the Niagara. fruit district is bound to result in better transportation facilities‘"‘ Mr. Dougald said.

His claim to the distincâ€" tion of ‘being a pioneer explorer and traveler in Canada led to some disâ€" _ Jcussion among the members of the. company, with the result that Mr.! Wright essayed to make the trip tof Toronto by motor as quickly as the| remainder of the company would ‘ journey by train.

This is truly a fine performance and, in one way, it does constitute a recordâ€" when circumstances . are considered. Last winter, one of the Toronto automobile dealers drove a new car from Toronto to Ottawa over roads that had been surfacel with snow, in about <twelve hours, but it is undoubtedly true that the conditionâ€"of the roads during the past few weeks was the worst posâ€" sible for fast driving. The fact that Messrs.

They will move all their machinery and equipâ€" ment from Dunnville to GRIMSBY. Will purchase a piece of property now held under option from Charles H. Bromley and will erect thereon a factory and will move, their machinâ€" ery into it. They pay back every t.'year for fifteen years a certain sum lgof money to cover loan and interest. s They will hire so many hands for so | many months in the year and give | the town a first mortgage on the |land, building and all machinery. | This factory has been a going conâ€" cern for four years now, in the town of Dunnville ‘but has outgrown its !present factory and moreover is hayâ€" ing diffi@®@lty in securing sufficient Ifemale labor. Nearly all the factorâ€" ies in Dunnville employ female labor ’and very . little male labor. In A GRIMSBY it is different; female labor * ffinds little employment here while male labor is scarece. The â€" acquisi< tion of this factory will give employâ€" ment toâ€"female labor and also cause families to move here where there are factories to give employment to both male and fema?'e labor.
