I had a box of Zamâ€"Buk in my pocket, which I was using for a sore on my lip, and when I had recovered from the first shock of the accident, I produced the balm and had it applied freely to the scalded parts. I was suffering acute agony, but within a wonderfully short time Zamâ€"Buk gave me ease. I was able to continue my journey and upon reaching home, I obtained more Zamâ€"Buk and continued the treatment. â€" Zamâ€"Buk acted wonderfully well, and in a few days had the wound nicely healing. I don‘t know anything so fine as Zamâ€"Buk as a healer of burns, scalds, cuts, and similar injuries, which workers are so liable to, and, in my opinion, a box of Zamâ€" Buk should be kept handy in every worker‘s home."

Armstrong. Was First Business Man in Merritt To write the history of the Town of Merritt without associâ€" ating the name . of (George B. Armstrong, would be to create an anomaly. He is the pioneet merchant of the town,.a man who came‘ when there was little to offer, but who never lost in enthusiasm or pluck, with the reâ€" sult that today he is at the head of one of the largest and most influential mercantile instituâ€" tions in the upper country. The mere fact that so important an institution as the Hunterâ€"Kenâ€" drick Co. should become identiâ€" fieq with him as partners, is in itself, evidence of the volume ang substantial character of the business that he directs. Applications . for â€" all _ offices read by the bookkeeper and apâ€" pointments made for the year: Jim Culp, Inspector of Quarre‘!s and.

The old quartets«ywill be devoted to warehouse, because the growth and expansion of the Mr. Armstrong was in busiâ€" ness at Lower Nicola for several years during the early days, but with the prophetic eye of the man who can see into the fuâ€" ture. he located at Merritt at a time when his store building was the only important structure in the place. His confidence in the future of the town has been fully justified and today he lives to see the realization of his fondest hopes and to see a. large. and populous town peopled with a thrifty and progressive people cast about him. There is no more enthusiastic or ambitious man in the town of Merritt than Gâ€"B. Armstron‘g. President of the Board of Trade and at the head of other public movements, he plays an imporâ€" tant part in the life of the new community. He never turns his back on duty and in ‘him Merritt has a valueq and useful citizen. business demands an immense area of: floor space.
