THREE FACTORS IN THE SUCCESS OF DURANT CARS The substantial growth that has characterized Durant Motors of Canâ€" ada, Limited has been brought about by a combination of three things; namely, sound business policies on the part of the management, close coâ€"operâ€" ation with a loyal dealer organization and the preduction of automobiles built on a quality basis. The presentâ€"day popularity of Durâ€" ant products is the result of this comâ€" bination. The policies adopted by the management made it possible to declare a dividend in 1928. The profits of the company had steadily increased and the financial position was such that this success was commented upon by leading financiers and financial pubâ€" lications throughout the country. While the financial position was being improved, the dealer organizaâ€" tion was added to.: A Durant franâ€" chise had become attractive to dealers who could foresee the conditions preâ€" vailing today, and there was this added feature, that a spirit of loyalty was gradually gaining ground because of the treatment accorded them. As a foundation for this feeling of security there was the unbreakable policy of "quality" first in the building of Durant products The motto held up to all men in all the departments of the Durant plant was and still is, "huild each car as you would wish to receive it for your own personal use." This has resulted in a spirit of loyalty throughout the plant that is just as strong and just as important as that which permeates the dealer organizaâ€" tion. It is therefore not surprising that the history of Durant Motors of Canâ€" ada, Limited, is the history of a busiâ€" ness remance that is probably unâ€" equalled by any organization in Ameriâ€" ca. The fruits of this preconceived plan are to be seen today in the strong financial position of the company and in the everâ€"increasing number of Durâ€" ant automobiles and Rugby trucks off the Canadian highways.

T0 KNOW SECRET OF GOLD IN JAMEFS BAY AREA "There lives in Chapleau toâ€"day, a man who believes he has a fortune within his grasp. He is William Mcâ€" Leod, one time "Slooper" for the Hudâ€" son‘s Bay Company when for eight years he sailed the schooner "Mink‘ on regular supply trips between Rupert‘s House, Fort George and the Great Whale River. "Born in a Hudson‘s Bay Post, and still young in spite of his years, it is only with difficulty Mr. McLeod can be brought to speak of his colourful career. He is known as extremely reticent. His quiet voice and pléasant manner give no hint that his life has not all been spent in the placid surâ€" roundings of a quiet Northern Ontario town, and it somehow seems difficult to imagine him as master of a sailing schooner on the rough waters of James Bay. But on better acquaintance it is apparent why he is known as the friend and confidant of Indians throughout the North. He understands them as perhaps few men do. He has traded wih them all his life. He speaks fluently the dialects of the Cree and Ojibway, and enjoys the confiâ€" dence of these people to a remarkable degree. "To know him thus, is to appreciate the fact that there is something extraorâ€" dinary about the story he has to tell. It is a story. of gold.. CGold: in large quantites. Gold in nugets to be found in the region of the Great Whale River. A story of a quest which has gone on unremittingly for nearly 100 years. Alâ€" ways in the words of the Indian the "Yellow Stuff" has eluded the searchers Why? Because of a past, a promise, a jealously guarded secret handed from an Indian to an Indian until last year â€"when an old Indian fur trader had come to his lifeâ€"long friend and handâ€" ed him a paper on which was pencilled a map of the region and the exact locaâ€" tion where the nuggets of gold were found. s "The Indian, says Mr. McLeod, was nearing 70 and felt that he would never go in to that country again. The map had been given to him by one{of his friends many years ago. This Inâ€" dian had been one of the guides who, in the year 1856, had accompanied an explorer on a prospecting trip into the territory and had been present when the nuggets were found. The explorer was from New York, he said, and pickâ€" ing up the two Indians as guides at Moose Factory. They had gone to the East Coast of James Bay, and started prospecting on arrival at the Great Whale river. They continued until they struck the Little Whale river and near its mouth made camp for about three weeks. It was during their wanderings from this base that the nuggets were found. "Making bags from the heavy canvas flour sacks commonly used in the North they bagged as much as they thought could be safely carried without causing too much excitement, and spent conâ€" siderable time taking soundings of the river, as the explorer had announced his intention of returning the followâ€" ing season with a fair sized vessel. As soon as the explorer had satisfied himâ€" self on this point, he pledged his guides to secrecy, and the party returned to Moose Factory, where he dropped them, and took other guides for the journey home via the Abitibi river. "The following year, word was reâ€" ceived by the Indians that the exâ€" plorer had died, and nothing more transpired until the year 1895, when a party of 10 headed by a man known to his Indian guides as "Corten" and a supposedly very wealthy man, went inâ€" to the regicocn evidently armed with some sort of information. He went directly to the Great Whale River and spent about two months intensively prospecting between the Great Whale and Little Whale River. As to gold, he came back emptyâ€"handed. "Following Corten at a considerable interval, came one, Osborne, with three of a party. He also took Indian guides and went in on the same mission, but equal result. Next came a party of Norwegians. Then Jones and a party of six. Jones made two trips in sucâ€" cessive years but met with no better fortune. Curran of Montreal was next to try his luck in this area. his first trip he took fourteen men and Inâ€" dian guides, and returned to the scene twice later, each time without success. "How did the Indian who gave you the map come into possession of it?" Mr. McLeod was asked. "He was in one of the later parties as guide," he said, "and when they came out he was told by his friends that they had not gone to the right place, and this Indian had given him the map after pledging him to secrecy, as owing to advanced age there was no possibility of him making another trip "After such a record of failures, do you believe the story?" Mr. McLeod was asked. "I do," he answered. "I am willing to go in there myself with a party shcould suitable arrangements be made, and in these days of prospecting by the use of aeroplanes, the trip does not enâ€" tail near the "hardship it would have done a few years back."

His body was recovered about 25 minutes later by Kelly Chomany, and artificial respiration was attemptâ€" ed by Dr. Paul and Dr. Biron without success. â€" The boy had been bathing with two companions when he was seized and screamed as he sank unâ€" der the water. Chomany, who from the door of his home near the lake, saw the boy go under, donned a bathâ€" ing suit and dived after him. The boy‘s knees were drawn up against his chest indicating cramps. Besides his parents the lad is survived by two broâ€" thers and a sister. Overcome by cramps while cwimming in Commando Lake, Wilfred Charron, HAILEYBURY THEATRE HAS SUIT AGAINST MARKS CO, The Haileyburian last week says:â€" "A case of somewhat unusual nature was heard by His Honour Judge Hayâ€" ward in Division Court here on Wedâ€" nesday morning, when the Monarch Theatres Ltd. sued the Arlie Marks Company for $200 damages for a breach of contract for the rent of the Classic Theatre on March 20th and Jist last. The Company, according to evidence submitted by the plaintiff, through the local manager, Mr. Jerry Abrams, had cancelled the contract, pleading sickness of some members and stating that they were closing for the year. It was shown, however, that they had played in Timmins on the dates set for the Cobalt performance, had conâ€" tinued for some time after and eventuâ€" ally reached New Liskeard and filled an engagement there. F. L. Smiley, K.C., appeared for the Marks Company and there was no evidence submitted on their behalf. It was pointed out that there is a technical question of law inâ€" volved, and the Judge directed that the case be left over until Tuesday next, June 4th, when counsel for both parâ€" ties will argue the matter out in his chambers. C. F. Tuer is counsel for the plaintiff." More cups to the pound, more flavor in the cup, more tang to the taste. That‘s what makes Red Rose Tea so popular.
