Printed Salesmen work faith- fully all day, and often far into the night. They are enthusiastic-loyal:--persevering. They go where an ordinary salesman could never nd his way.

They are poorly printed, perhaps ; or listless in argument ; or they do not properly display the goods they areitrying to sell. ll Give your "Printed Salesman" the appearance which commands a hearing; prime them with arguments and logic; equip them with illustrations that describe their goods to the best advantage. ll We are anxious to get you interested in the quality of the work we turn out.

After. seeing` the ham- lets `dotted -here and_ there, the elds with -their hedges, the hills and `valleys, with. their clumps of stately trees, the native {born Can- adianhad to admit that as far as scenery was con_cerned.England was .God s `own country.- We were all as happy ' as `school boys, cheering, singing-_ songs and giving `vent to expressions which could only come from a Canadian crowd. It was not till one o clock in the afternoon that we learned to which port we were bound, and in another` hour our tr_ain -pulled upon the dock alongside the boat, to which we were immediately transferred.

The day was rather chilly to fully enjoy the outdoor -programme, but those who were there had a delightful time. In the evening the Orange Hall was the scene ' of a splendid gathering. Mayor Craig, of Barrie, was chair-. man, and in his op_ening remarks touched the local aspect if the war went so far as to invadeithe peace; of Minesing. Dr. -Palling spoke` ualong patriotic lines, urging the [young men `to give their services` to their country. _ Mr. T. T.
