Moffat Sons, Pearl line of stoves, is becominsr well known through west evn Ontario, and Lighly popular wherever used. This firm V3 pushing the stove business with commendable enterprise, and tho' doubling its cap- acity during the last two years is still much hampered tor room and will be compelled to enlarge the premises. Over five hundred stoves have this summer been manutactured, and twelve hundred is expected to be reached before New Year's. Their traveller reports greatly improved prospects from that of last year. This is partly owing to the improved state of trade through the country and part- ly because the Pearl line of stoves is taking so well and giving such satis- faction that people wnj. have them. It could not otherwise be as the firm is composed of a famUy of superior mechanics each member having not only a branch or specialty to ttianage in the manufacture of the stoves but also having an interest in the business each will thus naturally en- deayor to excel. "We are highly pleased to have such a prosperous business in our town and trust theplace as well as the Eailway Company will treat it in such a manner as lo establish its per- manence.

It is working splendid. The pamp does its work all right. I like the working of the Victor Wind Mill very much.

It works with the greatest ease, for the quantity of water delivered, of any pump I have ever tested. I believe it is constructed on a simple and durable principle and not liable to get out of order. I could not wish for a better pump, and can, with the utmost confidence, recommend it. Wishing you every success I remain, yours c., c. J. W. Sprocle, Markdale.
