WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15, 1928 TE ADVERTISING OSHAWA A contributor to The Oshawa Daily Times draws attention to the fact that the city is . not getting the publicity which is its due as the home of General Motors of Canada, Limited. Numerous U.S. publications featur- ing the products of General Motors formerly mentioned Oshawa as the Canadian factory location for that particular product. The more recent tendency, however, is to name only the U.S. factories. Many of the magazines which the Gen- eral Motors Corporation in the United States selects for its publicity are widely read by Canadians--as widely read, circula- tion considered, as by citizens to the south. Hence the mention of Oshawa has logic as well as courtesy behind it. It is possible that the omission of Osh- awa's name from the advertising of General Motors Corporation may be nothing more than an oversight on the part of the copy- writers of the firm's advertising agency. If such is the case, here is surely an opportun- ty for the Chamber of Commerce to get some action and secure valuable publicity for the Motor City. For all we know quite a few people on the other side of the border may have never heard of the progressive city of Oshawa in the Dominion of Canada! Hard to believe, but a fact. This being the case, our affilia- tion with General Motors Corporation sug- gests a logical means of supplying the deficiency. WELCOME TO OUR CITY! The people of Oshawa welcome the open- Ing of the splendid new restaurant known ps the Traymore Savarin, Members of the staff of The Oshawa Daily Times partook of the first coffee served by this restaurant-- and it was good coffee! The advent of this new restaurant was featured in both the editorial and advertis- ing columns of our Greater Oshawa Edition, . B fact which may have accounted in a meas- ure for the host of patrons on the opening day. Such new enterprises are deserving of more than passing recognition in the affairs of a growing city like Oshawa. They signify -more than is written on the surface. They pre an indication that the established busi- ness institutions of the country are turning to Oshawa as a city of the future--a proof that men of business foresight recognize in Greater Oshawa a city of opportunity; they _ are the forerunner of similar enterprises on a greater scale, : The new Traymore restaurant is a credit- able addition to the city's dining-rooms. The environment is a wholesome one; the atmosphere contributes to the maintenance of self-respect. Poor food, carelessly served, has a coarsening influence on people, and the coarseness is reflected in their man- ners. A much-needed element of refinement is provided in the Traymore Savarin. 1t is refreshing to have one's food served by dainty little waitresses in smart uniforms. We have adapted ourselves to a modern cus- tom, but with many people the portage of food on a tray in a public restaurant goes against the grain. | Aside from the special facilities it pro- L vides, the Traymore restaurant will serve a useful purpose in the provision of a gen- erally improved service in similar lines of business throughout the city. We have out- grown primitive restaurant service as surely as we have outgrown the four-wheeler, the four corners and other relics of bygone days. DREAM OF AGES A REALITY When casting an eye over the records of centuries long vanished, modernity has been accustomed to reserve an especially sarcas- tic grin' for the phrases "transmutation of metals" and "philosopher's stone" and to throw up the hands at the credulity of those medieval sages who sought so long and lab- oriously to solve the riddle. The shades of those ancient pioneers along the unstaked paths of science must be having a quiet and satisfactory laugh at the expense of their deriders, for reliable authority states that the secret has at last been wrested from na- ture, that actually metals have been changed from one form into another; in effect, that the "philosopher's stone" has been found. Not the stone pursued by astrologers and necromancers of romance, but the modern equivalent which will stand the test tube ex- amination of pure science. The discovery is made in the newly-open- ed realm of atomic physics and goes to the credit of two scientists, Drs. A. Smits and A. Karssen, on the faculty of the University of Amsterdam. They successfully changed lead into mercury and thallium, using intense heat in a highly technical spectrographic process. Their result has been checked and re-checked and has been received and ac- cepted by the "Scientific American" as proved. This is the first time the scientific world has placed the seal of approval. com- plete and unconditional, on such a claim; the laiety can do no less than applaud the mod- ern performance and give due credit to the long-robed and bearded men of the ancient world who started for the same goal, though they fell far short of achieving the prize. That there is no present value commerci- ally to the discovery will not daunt succes- sors to Smits and Karssen. Seldom has the first step in any field paid the big rewards that are reaped 'later. Eventually the fact that the spectrograph showed mercury lines dominating in the Amsterdam test may prove of material benefit to mankind. The future will take care of that. The entering wedge has been driven; science will attend to the rest. The old idea of romance: The country boy goes to the city, marries his employer's daughter, enslaves some hundreds of his fel- low humans, gets rich, and leaves a public library to his home town. : The new idea of romance: To undo some of the mischief done by the old idea of ro- mance, --Seymour Deming. Do not despise genius--indeed, I wish I had a basketful of it instead of a brain, but yet, after a great deal of experience and ob- servation I have become convinced that in- dustry is a better horse to ride than genius. It may never carry any one man as far as genius has carried individuals, but industry --patient, steady, intelligent industry----will carry thousands into comfort and even into celebrity, and this it does with absolute cer- tainty; whereas genius often refuses to be tamed and managed, and often goes with wretched morals. If you are to wish for either, wish for industry. --Julian Ralph. Get the confidence of the public and you will have no difficulty in getting their pat- ronage. Inspire your whole force with the right spirit of service; encourage every sign of the true spirit. So display and advertise wares that customers shall buy with under- standing. Treat them as guests when they come and when they go, whether or not they buy. Give them all that can be given fairly on the principle that to him that giveth shall be given. Remember always that the recol- lection of quality remains long after the price is forgotten. Then your business will prosper by a natural success. --H. Gordon Selfridge It is right and necessary that all men should have work to do which shall be worth doing, and be of itself pleasant to do: and which should be done under such conditions as would make it neither over-wearisome nor over-anxious. Turn that claim about as I may, think of it as long as I can, I cannot find that it is an exorbitant claim; yet again I say if Society would or could admit it the face of the world would be changed; discon- tent and strife and dishonesty would be ended. To feel that we were doing work use- ful to others and pleasant to ourselves, and that such work and its due reward could not fail us! What serious harm could happen to us then?
