tional charters, and the Canadian colonists, the people of Upper and Lower Canada, demanded an elective Legislative Assembly, and more constitutional liberty.In 1791 the Constitutional Bill was passed, dividing Canada into Upper and Lower Canada, and giving each province a Legisiative Assembly elected by the people, a Legislative ouncil appointed by the Crown, and a (overnor appointed by :he Crown and responsible to it only.The first Legislature of Lower Canada, met in Quebec in 1791, when that city contained only about seven thousand people.The first legislature of Upper Canada opened in Newark (Niagara), in 1792, and sat till 1797, when it removed to York (Toronto), founded by Governor Simcoe, two years before.Then came the war of 1812, and that settled, Canadians turned their energies fight for responsible government.In 1840 the Home Government decided upon - the legislative union of the two provinces which were renamed Canada West and Canada East.T liament met in Kingston, in June, 1841.Three years later, it moved to Montreal, where the buildings were burned by a mob in 1849.From Montreal it moved to Toronto, and, in 1865, went to Que- bee, and mioved hither and yon until Confederation.It took mearly fifty years for the French Canadians of Lower Canada and the English colonists in Upper Canada to learn to pull together in natio harness; but, in .vv4, at a convention, HON WILLIAM PATERSON, Controller of Customs.The first par- | ward Island came in in 1873.Then during the years 1876-95 the vast and almost unknown region, calied Rupert\u2019s Land, was_ subdivided into the territories of Yukon, Athabaska and Alberta, east of the Rockies; Kewatin, Saskatchewan and Assiniboia, east of the latter, and west and north of Manitoba; Ungava, between Quebec, Hudson\u2019s Bay and Labrador; and Mackenzie and Franklin, in the far north.In 1887 the Territories, .after having gone through six different forms of government were given representation in the - Federal Parliament by two senators, and four elected representatives.Through all the succeeding years of national growth, one idea has been supreme, loyalty to Britain and the British form of government, the constitutional monarchy.Sir George E.Cartier, the rebel patriot of 1837, declared he was an Englishman speaking French, and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Premier of the Dominion to-day, declares : I.love the France which gave us being and I love the England which gave us liberty.\u201d This feeling found practical expression during the late war in South Africa, when sons of Canada shed their blood for the British fia, on the veldts and kopjes of South ca.HOW CANADA IS GOVERNED.Canada is as free a country as there is on the face of the globe.TE, became a part of the British ire by conquest; it remains so by the choice of her people, a choice based upon the affection and pride of blood relationship, upon gratitude for fair treatment, and upon a ively appreciation of practical self interest.In 1776, 1812, 1837, 1838, 1866 and 1870, men of Canada, i ive of origin, took the field for the maintenance of the British connection.HON.JAMES SUTHERLAND, Minister of Public Works.called by Lord Monck, which met at Quebec, the main de were settled, the Home Parliament passed the Brit ish North erica Act in 1867, and, under this act, the four provinces of Upper and Lower Canada, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia were united.HON.WILLIAM S.FIELDING, Minister of Finance.The government of Canada, as it exists to-day, is\u2019 largely the product of Canadian statesmen, evolved from a series of political agitations and parliamentary acts extending over a period of more than a century.So that the gov- HON.CHARLES FITZPATRICK, K.C,, Minister of Justice.The Dominion of Canada was now fairly started on its rapid growth.The rights of the Hudson\u2019s Bay Company were next purchased, and, in 1870, the rovince of Manitoba was constituted.British Columbia, in return for responsible government, and the Canadian Pacific Railway, joined the Confederation in the following year, and Prince Ed- State.ernment of Canada, though shaped upon British models, has actually been formed by the Canadian people themselves as best suited to the special require ments of the country and its population.The system of national government is a Federal Union embodying the great HON.W.TEMPLEMAN, Minister Without Portfolio.fundamental principle of responsible Jar liamentary government, developed dur- HON.CLIFFORD SIFTON, Minister of the Interior. G.T.R.GENERAL OFFICES, MONTREAL.MONTREAL ing centuries of trial and struggle in the Mother Country.By the constitution as set forth in the B.N.A.Act, 1867, the executive government and authority is vested in the Sovereign of Great Britain, who governs through the person of a Governor-General appointed by the Sovereign.The governor bolds himself apart from and superior to political parties, and governs through consfitutional advisers.No taxes can be levied or public money expended without the sane- tion of parliament.The governor\u2019s constitutional advisers or ministers are known as the King\u2019s Privy Council for Canada.They can be taken only from members of the Dominion Parliament, and must possess the confidence of the House of Commons, consequently commanding a majority in that House.The power of dismissing the minisiry rests With the governor-general, but he cannot override the will of the House of Commons without appealing to the country through a general election.Members of parliament, when appointed to the Cabinet, have to present themselves anew to their constituents for their ap- roval.The seat of government is at ttawa, and the Parliament of Canada consists of the King, represented by his deputy, the Governor-General, an Upper House, styled the Senate, and a Lower House, styled the House of Commons.The Senate consists of eighty-one members, appointed for life by the Governor- in-Council.Each senator must be not less than thirty years of age, a British subject, possessed of property to the value of $4,000 and resident in the province he represents.; .The House of Commons consists of two hundred and thirteen members, elected for five years, though thé House is always liable to dissolution in the event of an appeal to the people being ginate in the House of deemd advisable.The various provinces are represented in the House as follows :\u2014Ontario, 92 members;

total, $36,618,591.In 1901 the revenue raised by taxation amounted to $38,743, 550, \u2018and from other sources, $13,771,151; total, $52,514,701.CANADA\u2019S FOREIGN TRADE.The development of Canada\u2019s foreign trade, especialy during recent years, has |.been very remarkable, testifying at once to the productiveness of the country and the enterprise of her people.The fur trade furnished the country\u2019s first exports.Wheat and other grains DAILY WITNESS.mt were sown soon after the first settlements were established, but many years were to elapse before the country exported its first agricultural produce.In the colony\u2019s earliest infancy, its grain supplies had to be imported, but, in 1670 the Canadian grain crop had attaine to such dimensions that an attempt was made to corner it and an ordonnance \u2018was passed to limit the purchase of wheat.By this time Montreal had attained the distinction of being the centre of the fur trade, which had originally been established at Tadousae, and had, later, ascended the big river to Quebec.By 1770 agriculture had made rapid strides and Canadian agriculturists produced enough grain for local needs, besides wine and cattle.The regular export of fish and lumber to Europe and the West Indies had begun.In 1736 Canada exported 80,000 minots of wheat to the West Indies.The grain export trade did not make any appreciable development under French rule, and in 1741 there was no grain for export.In 1841, over two million bushels of wheat were exported.That same year, a number of enterprising merchants of Montreal procured a bill from the first legislature of Upper Canada, sitting in Kingston, to incorporate the Montreal Board of Trade.From that date Canada\u2019s foreign trade has shown a marvel lous development.\u2018 The total imports of Canada in 1842 were $8,075,840; the exports, $1,714,644.In 1852 the imports were $8,985,380; the exports, $2,073,668; 1862, imports, $20, 183,836; exports, $8,765,591.The following table shows the value of total exports and imports entered for consumption in the Dominion, for the undermentioned years :\u2014 Fiscal year ended June 30.Total Total Exports.Imports.1868.\u2026.$ 57,567,888 $ 73,459,644 1878.[79,323,667 93,081,787 1888.90,203,000 110,894,630 1893.118,564,352 129,074,268 1894.117,524,949 123,474,940 1805.113,638,803 110,781,682 18906.121,013,852 118,011,508 1897.137,950,253 119,218,609 1898.164,152,683 140,323,053 1899.158,896,905 162,764,308 1900.191,804,723 189,622,513 1901.196,487,632 190,415,525 1902.211,640,286 212,270,158 The following statement gives the value of the exports (home produce of Canada), during the two months of July | The populations of the cities «, and August for 1896, 1899 and 1902 :\u2014 #00 ON [=] = + ET + 15 oy SEEEEIE EB! |B &H a SÉSE= © > P= 10 = = = = ges 2 S310 = = S0009959 m9 æ [5 5 SBRSEXNS BE |B @ AE SNANOW car \u2014 sos \u201cHe $ SBS25S 2% 2 Nome ] « \u2014 HA 1536 æ O0 \u2014 < xésasss 28 & HERO æ r= æ I= = FÉRSERS 3 = pol rd OO > rt =i oN oN SN ~N .oo.QQ - .= - .À æ .oo.« no go.1 \u201coo.dS'Ec2S \u20185 LH sogne UY 1 = =a Hg LD = fe 553 5 .ESTO % 5 a © SR .a \u2014~g = = = Rs ®.2 2 = on B= = we, BEES TE A 18532 § = © aD 98 = LA © =85 =6 = dB 3 = = E829 > = \u20ac Été R= 2 2 ESA Bg B= À 4 aged only twenty-eight years.Fhe original buildings of the college Pahl streets.;

of Northern New York and Michigan , via the Richelieu, Lake Champlain, the | Upper St.Lawrence and Lake Ontario.| The size of the ships had increased and the shallows in Lake St.Peter and the: river were found serious obstructions to | Trade In 1830 an act was passed giving pow- | er to the governor to appoint three commissioners for the purpose of carrying into effect an act providing for the improvement of the harbour of Montreal.is board consisted of the Hon.George | \u2018Moffat, chairman; Mr.Jules Quesnel, \u2018Crown, the other two being the borrow money to carry on the work.Up to that date the commissioners had confined thair work to the harbor proper, but from then until 1888 the Board had charge of the works on the river between Montreal and Quebec, as well.In 1841 the governor was given power to appoint additional harbor commissioners, but this power was apparently never ex- crcised, for there were but three commissioners until 1855.An act passed in that year provided for five commissioners, three to be appointed by the ayor of Montreal and the president of the Board of Trade.The board remained thus constituted till 1873, when its membership was increased to nine, four appointed by the government.The others were appointed as follows: Board of Trade, two; the City Council, the Corn Exchange and the shipping interest one each.The tenure of office was five years.Next year the Board of Trade was allowed but one member, and five of the nine were appointed by the government, the term being made four years.In 1853, the first odean steamship, the \u2018Genova,\u201d arrived in port.In 1853 the ship channzl had been.deepened to 16 feet; in 1859, to 18 feet; in 1865, to 20 felst; in 1878, to 22% feet.In 1882 the channel was deepened to twenty-five feet throughout, and in 1888, the year the work was taken over from ON THE LACHINE CANAL.and Captain Robert S.Piper, of the Royal Engineers.This was the origin of the present Harbour Board.This first appointment of commissioners seems to have been made merely for the purpose of carrying out the improvements defined in the act of 1830, which improvements consisted in building the present quay and joining the island, late [the Island Wharf, to the new wharf system.But as the scope of the work widened the commission was continued by acts of parliament passed from time to time.In 1841 the legislature made an appro- riation for deepening the channel in ke St.Peter; but the work was sus- ended in 1846 and abandoned the fol- owing year.The shallowest part of the ship channel showed a depth of water of only eleven feet, and the trade of Montreal was restricted to vessels of four hundred tons or less.This sort of thing could not last.The Hon John Young, who represented Montreal in the Liegislature, championed the cause of the harbor and was well backed up by the Board of Trade.Mr.Young represented Montreal in the Legislature, and in 1850 he was instrumental in passing an act assigning to the Harbor Commissioners the task of improving the ship channel and authorizing that \u2018body to the Harbor Commissioners, to twenty- seven and a half feet.Since then the work of widening the channel at certain points and of dredging it to a uniform dzpth throughout of thirty feet at lowest water has been in progress under the Department of Public Works.The work done on the channel by the Commissioners cost about $3,000,000, including a valuablé dredging plant handed over to the government when it assumed the channel debt and works.Since 1888 the Harbor Commissioners have had control only over the harbor of Montreal, which extends from the River St.Pierre to Longue Pointe.The last change in the constitution of the commission was in 1894, when two members, one representing the Chambre de Commerce, the other appointed by the government, were added, making the total as at present, eleven members.During the past few years the harbor proper has undergone a complete transformation and the river front to-day would be quite unrecognizable by any one who had been absent from the city since, say, 1895.A hurried glance over the work of harbor improvement from the very beginning is interesting.Previous to 1825 there were only two wharves with a \u201cAcross the St ifn + \u201c.THE OLD VICTORIA T UBULAR BRIDGE, .Lawerence, opened for tr affic, 1860, Reconstructed, 1900\u2014G.T.R.-{ Provincial.frontage of 1,120 feet and a depth of two feet at low water.in 1825 a new wharf with a length of 1,260 1cet and with a water depth of five teet was con: structed.In 1¥42 there was a whart frontage of 4,950 teet, or nearly a mila.In 1845 to 1847 the wharfage accommo: dation was increased to 7.070 feet, or 1.55 miles.In 1850, 1,370 feet of new whartage in six feet of water had been added.ln 1856 the work of dredging the harbor proper to allow vessels of heavy draught to approach and tie up to the wharves, disposing of the use of lighters, was bzgun.In 1866, when vessels drawing twenty feet of water could come to Montreal, there was the following wharfage acommodation in the harbor of Montreal :\u2014For vessels drawing twenty feet of water, 1.39 miles; for vessels drawing less than twenty feet, 1.78 miles.In 1876 there were 4.2 miles of wharves; in 1878, 4.46 miles.By 1882 (there were then 4.7 miles of wharves), there had bean expended on the harbor \u2018between the Victoria Bridge and Longue Pointe, no less a sum than $3,000,000, and not a cent of it had come out of the public treasury, Federal or The money had been provided for; and the interest and considerable of tha capital paid out of the harbor revenue alone.When work was begun in 1895 on the project of harbor improvements now approaching completion the wharfage -ca- pacity was as follows :\u2014Wharfage of 271% feet depth at low water, 12,128 feet; wharfage of 25 feet to 20 feet depth at low water, 2,650 feet; wharfage under 20 feet depth at low water, 6,184 feat; total, 26,962 feet.The year 1898 was an eventful one in the history of the Harbor Commission, as marking the conclusion of an agreement between the Commission, the City Corporation and the Dominion Government, by which the extensive improvements to the harbour facilities, and the additions to the wharfage accommodation, so long desired, and so earnestly urged by the Board, has been to a great extent carried into effect.The Commission continued to press upon the government the special claims of Montreal as the national port of the Dominion, and the fact that its situation at the head of ocean navigation obliged the port authorities to receive and accommodate not only the large ocean steamers then coming to this port, but provide for the continual increase in size and capacity of those they would be obliged to accommodate in the future, while providing at the same time for the accommodation of inland vessels bringing to this port for transhipment across the Atlantic the product of the west, for whose inland transport such large sums have already been expended by the Dominion, While the Dominion Government did not consent to all the propositions submitted to them by the Commission, they so tar met the views of the Boara by placing before Farliament an act by which power was given to proceed with many of the proposed improvements to the harbour.\u2018I'his act, passed by the Dominion Parliament on June 13, 1898, empowered ths government to lend to the Harbour Commissioners $2,000,000, of which $1,250,000 was to supprement that formerly authorized for the carrying out of the long-required harbour improvements opposite the central part of the city, and the remaining $750,000 was to be applied toward the building or im: provement of wharves, structures and other accommodations, including the building of a dry dock below St.Mary's Current, the plans in each case to be subject to the approval of the Minister of rublic Works before construction began .Since the date in question the work of harbour improvement has made rapid progress, and all of the wharf construction work contemplated for the present in the upper part of the harbour will be completed before the ice forms, leaving, however, considerable filling in to be done néxt year.A complete transformation has taken place.The old wharves have besn either dredged away altogether, or buried deep under the filling of the new piers.Work is well advanced on two of the first permanent wharf structures\u2014huge grain elevators, each of one million bushels capacity\u2014one being constructed for the Harbor Commission: ers, the other for the Grand Trunk Railway.When these structures are completed they are, expected to have an important stimulating influence upon the grain export trade.THE TRADE OF THE PORT.Montreal enjoys the singular distinction of being an ocean port, and a great ocean port, though situated 986 miles inland.Not-only is Montreal the great importing and exporting point of the Dominion, but she may also be deserib- ed as the seaport of much of the western part of the United States.During the seven-month seasons of navigation vessels sail regularly in ever increasing numbers, from Montreal outward to the great ports of England and Scotland; to the West Indies, the Mediterranean; to European Continental ports; to South Africa; to our.own Lower Provinces.From Montreal inwards great freight steamers ply the Upper kes to far-off Chicago and Duluth, and Port Arthur.The total quantity of through freights passed eastward and westward through the Welland and St.Lawrence Canals, teen years, is as follows :\u2014 Eastward Westward to Montreal.from Montreal.Tons.Tons.1886.244,514 16,801 1887 .213,834 14,076 1888 .183,899 19,310 1889 .208,197 25,870 1890 .231,746 18,951 1801 .309,593 14,060 1892 .263,144 9,452 1893 .508,016 16,545 1804 292,191 9,439 1805.266,659 10,555 1806 .;

cattle, sheep, apples, cheese, butter, weod pulp, etc., and the volume of these is not only enormous, but constantly increasing.Tha trade returns of Canada for 1902 (first fiscal year ending June 30), show that during the year Montreal imported $40,776,650, and exported $61,255.164; or, roughly speaking, thirty-three and a third percent of the total exports, and ninzteen and a fifth percent of the total imports of the Dominion passed through its port.This foreign trade was carried in 396 vessels aggregating 975,741 tons, or an average of 2,486 tons to a vessel.In 1880 the average was only 884 tons, so that in less than a score of years the size of the vessels trading to Montreal has nearly trebled.During the years 1899, 1900 and 1901, and the early part of 1902, the harbor falt the effect of the wars in South Africa and China, many of the largest of the regular line steamers being employed as army transports., The following table gives an idea of the total ocean trade, foreign and domestic, of the part of Montreal during twelve years, showing the total number of arrivals from sea, with their tonnage :\u2014 Steom- Sailing Total Years: shins, vessels.tonnage 1801.631 94 938,657 1892.: .658 77 1,036,707 1893.L737 67 1,151,777 1894.684 50 1,096,909 1895.592 48 1,069,386 1896.669 40 1,216,468 1897.752 44 1,379,002 1898.830 38 1,584,072 1899.733 28 1,517,611 1900.692 34 1,393,886 1901.707 35 1,450,048 1902.72 38 1,528,000 MONTREAL AS A RAILWAY CENTRE.Montreal is the greatest railway centre in Canada, being the headquarters of both of the principal railway systems, the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Grand Trunk, which have their general offices and their principal workshops in the city.The present Montreal employees of each company number 3,000, but the number of local Canadian Pacific employees will shortly be greatly increased as the company has at present under construction a number of immense new workshops, which, when completed, will make the company\u2019s works in Montreal the most extensive railway construction give employment to 5,000 additional workmen.The present annual output of the C.P.R.\u2019s Montreal shops is as follows :\u2014Delorimier avenue shop, build 25 new locomotives, repair and rebuild 300, THE TRANSFORMATION O The Commencement of the New F MONTREAL HARBOR.Flood Protection Wall.also make snow ploughs, castings, etc.Hochelaga shops, build 80 new passenger cars, repair 700, build 500 box cars, repair 7,000.The annual output of the new shops being érected at the head of Moreau street, will be as follows :\u2014Build 100 passenger cars, repairs to 9,000;

Five railway bridges connect the Island of Montreal with the railway systems of the continent.The Victoria tubular bridge, belonging to the Grand Trunk, spanning the St Lawrence, at Montreal, was, for long, considered one of the engineering wonders of the age.Forty years ago, this bridge, which weighed 8,250 toms, and rested on twenty-four stone piers, was completed at the cost of six million dollars.Owing to the growth of the city and the multiplication of trade at an enormous rate, it was found, notwithstanding the construction of a handsome open bridge span across the river, at La- chine, by the Canadian Pacific Railway, that a single track did not provide suffi- cient accommodation fer the G.T.R.One marked and important result of the local railway enterprise of the past ten years, has been the opening up of à great tract of country, previously 3 terra incognita\u2019 north of the St.Law rence.Several lines of railway have been built within the past few years, right into the heart of the picturesque Laurentian mountains, opening up grea tracts of land, suitable for settlement, lumber areas, possible mining rego and a country fairly teeming with game and fish.Along the wooded shores of many mountain-bounded lakes, unknown ten years ago, Montrealers now have handsome summer houses, and, in some suitable localities, well up in the clear mountain air, sanitaria have been established among the pine forests.The railway has demonstrated that there are great possibilities in the way of develop ing this great northern preserve, and tbe development of the past few years ba: been fairly marvellous.DE VAE Opened by the.+.R.for traffic, 1900.1 \u201cVICTORIA JUBILEE BRIDGE OVER THE ST.LAWRENCE AT MONTRE AL.lis and the tho the the the OUR TEXTILE INDUSTRIES | [| I Canadian Manufactures (1° and Markets.MONTREAL The Great Canadian Centre for Woollens, Cottons and Furs.Canada, during the last few years, has made giant strides in the manufacture of textiles whether the subject be considered from the standpoint of quality or quantity and Montreal continues, as she has always done, to lead the Dominion in this respect.The large woollen and cotton manufacturers and fur dealers and wholesale clothiers, whether dealing in men\u2019s or women\u2019s wares, have their headquarters, and, in many instances, their factories, in Montreal.Numbers of these firms have hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in their various enterprises, and, as a result of employing the best skilled labor and the most improved machinery, using raw material of the first quality, and following modern business methods, they are establishing themselves in the most desirable and promising markets in the world.Our capitalists and manufacturers have the advantage of the experience of all those who have gone before them in their particular lines of business, and they have not been slow in adopting all the measures that seemed to contribute to success, and, in some respects, at least, it can be justly and modestly said that Canada\u2019s wholesale merchants and manufacturers lead the world.Energy, enterprise, foresight, perseverance and success will be read between the lines of every business notice contained in this Industrial Number of the \u2018 Witness.\u201d Prosperity might be painted in large letters over the offices of most of our large industrial and mercantile houses, and faith in the future of our mighty and magnificent heritage, is the influence which spurs the leaders in our commercial, financial, manufacturing and agricultural circles, on to achieve still greater things.The value oi our textile industries to our country can hardly be overestimated.Our rapidly increasing western population is giving a tremendous impetus to the trade of the eastern houses, and many of these, established for generations in the Canadian metropolis are not only sending their travellers, but opening up branches in the far west.It is impossible to forecast the situation which may develop from the rapidly changing conditions to be found in the commercial life of this country.There are those who believe that in a few years the centre of population, and, also, of business, will be in the western half of our great Dominion.Montreal, however, can never cease to be the eastern entrepôt of the country.The fur trade of Canada, while it has undergone very noticeable changes within the last hundred, and, indeed, the last fifty years, is still an important item of commerce with us.Ounce the furs taken in the northern portions of this country were largely shipped, through Montreal houses, to Europe, enough being kept here for domestic use.Now, the Montreal houses do a large import business, and, practically, no export fur trade.Tt is true that immense quantities of furs are still taken out of our vast northern territory and shipped to Europe, but they do not see Montreal until they have crossed the Atlantic twice; first, going over to be dressed, and, secondly, coming back to Montreal, to be made up into beautiful and stylish garments, by our large manufacturers and wholesale dealers, the leaders among whom are mentioned in the pages of this paper, which are devoted to their interests., The prosperous conditions prevailing in the commercial world, and the tastes controlling the fashions, have caused an advance of from twenty to forty percent in the wholesale prices of furs.The retail prices for this season, and, it is predicted, for the next also, will be correspondingly higher than during the last few years.In ladies\u2019 fur wear this season the styles are legion.Commene- ng with neck pieces, we find them in Russian sables (the most costly ot all furs, considering the small size of the skin); in boas of ome, two or three sking with muffs to match, daintily made up and finished off with handsome clusters of the natural tails.These styles are duplicated in almost all other furs, particularly marten or Hudson's Bay sable, the, general color of which is a rich brown, and greatly in demand this season; also in mink, Alaska sable and in foxes, from the valuable and rare \u2018silver fox\u2019 to the better known foxes, as \u2018 black; \u2018 blue,\u2019 \u2018 smoke,\u201d ¢ grev.\u2019 \u2018 Isabella,\u201d and \u2018 pointed\u201d \u2014_\u2014 THE DOMINION COTTON MILLS, COMPANY (LIMITED).The Dominion Cotton Mills Company is a large concern, having mills in different parts of the country, and employing between 5,000 and 6,000 hands.Mr.A.F.Gault is the president, and the Hon.Senator Forget is the vice-presi- dent; Mr, A.B.Mole is the manager, and Messrs.Stevenson, Blackader & Company, of Montreal and Toronto, are sales agents for \u2018the company.The head offices and two of the mills are in Montreal, where 1,700 hands are employed.The print works and another cotton mill are established at Magog, where one thousand hands are employed.Other mills owned by the company are situated at Halifax, N.S., Windsor, 3 So Moncton, N.B., and Kingston, nt.\u2018This company manufacture all kinds of bleached and grey cotton, shirtings, sheetings, bags, drills, ducks, flannels, yarns, ete.Their prints are considered by the consumers as quite equal to the best English goods and have an enormous sale throughout the Dominion.In the manufacture of their goods the company operate, 250,000 spindles, five thousand looms, six water wheels and fifty boilers.The mills at Hochelaga, Montreal, and at Magog, have recently undergone.extensive improvements and enlargements.Representatives of this company state that the last reduction made in the preferential tariff is very discouraging to the owners of cotton mills in Canada.They find it impossible, they say, to compete with the wages paid, for in- ance, in Lancashire.Two workmen came from that locality recently to work for the Dominion Company.In the old country one was getting twelve shillings and the other fifteen shillings per week for the last twenty years.Here, from the day they started work, they were paid $6.50 and $7.50 per week respectively.This ratio, it is claimed, applies largely to the whole situation of the labor market in Canada, and is the leading factor in causing the increased cost of manufacturing cotton and woollen goods; but, of course, this also is the cause of the full dinner pail! THE MONTREAL COTTON MILLS COMPANY.The Montreal Cotton Company\u2019s mills, offices, dyeing and bleaching works are situated at Valleyfield, Que.Mr.A.F.Gault is the president, and Mr.Charles Garth, the vice-president; Mr.Frederick Lacey is the manager, and Messrs.THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.° .m5 ETS à Stevenson, Blackader & Company, of Montreal and Toronto, -are the company\u2019s sales agents.The company have been most successful in their endeavors to make goods suitable for the needs of the country.Their early decision to manufacture dyed linings has proved a wise one, and adherence to this class of goods as their principal production has been one of the great factors of their success.Since the opening of the new Gault mills, the company have had 4,300 looms fully\u201d employed.\u2018Every piece of goods is dyed before it leaves the premises.The buildings are so.well laid out and the departments so arranged, that the raw cotton which enters the mills at one end, comes out at the other as a finished article, without having travelled a foot unnecessarily.The company use a large quantity of Egyptian cotton, and is ever striving to produce goods not made in this country heretofore.The power used in these mills is derived primarily from the River St.Lawrence, which runs by, and is partly hydraulic and partly hydraulic-electrical, the machinery being capable of providing 4,500 horse power for the works.There is not an engine about the premises.The production of these mills has increased greatly in the past few years.The Montreal Cotton Mills Company employ about three thousand hands, and pay out about $60,000 per month in wages, all of which used to go out of the country to pay for imported goods.It is a curious fact that the market prices of vegetables, meat, fruit and other products are higher in Valleyfield than in Montreal, which goes to show that farmers should encourage the establishment of \u2018factories in as many places throughout the country as possible.Apart from the work and the wages, the management have done much for the welfare of their employees socially, educationally and otherwise, all of which is fully appreciated.THE COLONIAL BLEACHING & PRINTING COMPANY, (LIMITED.) The Colonial Bleaching & Printing Company, (Limited), whose works are at St.Henri, near Montreal, is the only concern of the kind in Canada.' The works are on St.Ambroise street, St.Henri, and the sales office is at 232 Me- Gill street,\u2019 Montreal.Mr.H.S.Holt is the president; Mr.W.T.Whitehead, the general manager; Mr.John Walker the superintendent, and Mr.A.W.Cochrane, the sales agent.The business was established in 1899, and has grown to very substantial proportions, the turn over of dyed and printed cotton goods now amounting to over $800,000 worth per annum.Half a million dollars are invested in the business, and employment is given to nearly two hundred hands.The company import large quantities of grey cotton cloth from the best manufacturers in England, the Continent, and the United States, in addition to the immense amount of Canadian goods used.The grey cotton is treated in their works in a variety of interesting ways, and when watching the various processes to which it is subjected, one wonders how a yard of printed calico can be sold so cheaply.These goods are distributed to all parts of Canada, in the form of print dress goods, shirt- MARK FISHER, SONS & COMPANY.The oldest established and largest strictly.woollen house in the Dominion is that of Messrs.Mark Fisher, Sons & Company, dealers in woollens

to the trade.They are guaranteed indigo blue and woaded black.Special attention is also called to their new and varied patterns of fall and winter overcoatings of which they have an unusually extensive range.Mark Fisher, Sons & Company's rainproof overcoatings are exclusive in pattern and unexcelled in quality and can: not be duplicated.Their stock of Canadian woollens comprises.the best grades and choicest patterns this country produces while their costume cloths are the most attractive in every respect ever offered to the dry goods merchants of Canada.There is no article belonging

admitted into the firm when the present firm name was adopted.The steady growth of the business soon made it necessary to obtain more warehouse space and an adjoining store was added, and recently another store was secured and the whole was modernized making it a very attractive and convenient place of business.In March last Messrs.Hodgson, Sumner & Company purchased the wholesale dry goods

BROTHERS\u2019 COMPANY (LIMITED.) General dry goods to the value of about three million dollars annually is the estimated turnover of the Gault Brothers Company, of Montreal.Their importations of the same line of goods reach the aggregate of £250,000 sterling or a million and a quarter of dollars\u2019 worth.Most of this enormous stock goes into the homes of the people of Ontario and Quebec, with comparatively small orders for Newfoundland.To handle these goods 400 hands are employed in the company\u2019s factory, on Inspector street, corner of William street, and 140 more in the warehouse, at the corner of St.Helen and Recollet streets, Besides their large importations of dry goods, the company manufacture men\u2019s shirts and ties, and ladies\u2019 blouses and white wear.About half of the employees in their factory are French, and the other half English- speaking.To care for the firm's interests in distant parts of the Dominion, branch houses have been established in Winnipeg, Man., and Vancouver, B.C.Their English office is in Manchester.This mammoth enterprise was founded in 1853 by Mr.A.F.Gault, the present president, and the late Mr: J.B.Stevenson; the original premises being on St.Paul street, between St.Peter and St.Nicholas streets.The firm now consists of the president, Mr.À.F, Gault, and Messrs.R.W.MacDougall, Leslie H.Gault, and James Rodger, directors.The company became incorporated in 1896, and the business has been increasing rapidly ever since, as it has been doing constantly for many years.The capital invested by the firm is about one million dollars.EXCELSIOR WOOLLEN MILLS.The Excelsior Woollen Mills are situated at the corner of Ontario street and Papineau road, Montreal.The'factory is what is known as a ten-set mill, and has a capacity for turning out $250,000 worth of goods per annum.The product consists of woollen cloths and wor- steds of the very finest quality.This factory has been in operation for about ten years.Mr.A.F.Gault is the president of the firm.Mr.S.McDowell is the secretary-treasurer and Mr S.J.Moore is the superintendent;of the works.About two hundred hands are employed in connection with this concern.204 Mr.Geo.H.Bishop is the pushing and energetic sales agent for the firm with offices in the Temple building, St.James street, Montreal.The firm's produpts state, however, that although a great go to all parts of the Dominion.rat | deal of experience and expense have ; been put into the enterprise, the results, owing to the competition of English goods, under the present preferential tariff conditions have been very unsatisfactory from a financial standpoint, it being impossible for Canadian mills\u2019 to carry on operations profitably under existing circumstances.One.item of expense the firm consider a very unjust one and that is the cost of their water service.Since the introduction of water meters by the city, they have had to pay fifteen cents per thousand cubic feet for all the water they use.to eighteen cents, and their water bill this year will amount to about five thousand dollars.This tax they consider unreasonable and has been given as one reason for several manufacturing concerns removing from Montreal to other cities and towns, where more reasonable regulations prevail.THE CORTICELLI SILK COMPANY (LIMITED.) One of the most important and best known industries in Quebec province, is the Corticelli Silk Works, of St.Johns, Que.The Corticelli Silk Company (Limited), was established at St.Johns in 1888, and the great growth of the business made it necessary to incorporate and extend its operations in 1892.The president of the company is Mr.Ira Dimock, and the secretary-treasurer is Mr.W.H.Wyman.This rate

the length stated on the spool label.The manufacture of Corticelli silk was begun in 1828, and was so named in honor of Count Corticelli, an Italian nobleman, who devoted his life to fhe study of silk culture.The Corticelli skirt protector is one of the boons this company furnishes the ladies of our fair land.It is made of tough, soft, elastic Angora wool.It is steam-shrunk and will not pucker the edges of the skirt.It will not chafe the finest shoes.It does not hold dirt or dust, to soil or stain delicate dress goods.It dries quickly after getting wet.It is fine enough for the costliest garment, but cheap enough for ordinary wear.It is dyed in 350 shades.The trade mark, °Corticelli is on every packet of the genuine article.In addition to the administrative office, at St.Johns, the demands of the trade have necessitated the establishment of branch offices at Montreal, Quebec, Toronto, Winnipeg, and Vancouver.The Montreal office is at No.922 St.Helen street, and Mr.George Dawson is the local manager.THE SHIRT AND COLLAR FIRM OF SKELTON BROS.& CO.The largest and oldest shirt and collar business in Canada to-day is that of Messrs.Skelton Bros.& Company of Montreal.The business of shirt and collar making was unknown as a Canadian industry when the firm began business more than a quarter of a century ago.Owing to the original and unusual policy adopted, of making only one line of goods and selling direct to the trade, they at once became one of the important firms of the country, and have been recognized as the leaders in their branch of business ever since.The policy of a quarter of a century ago is the policy of, this firm to-day.Skelton Bros.& Company decided to make men\u2019s shirts and collars only, because it was strongly felt that side lines divided the attention and prevented that general excellence of workmanship and finish that is the only method certain PATON MANUFACTURING COMPANY\u2019S MILLS, Sherbrooke, Que.Among the most progressive manufae-

fully equal in quality to the best imported from Great Britain and the Conti: nent.: The product of the mill consists of |.tweeds and worsted piece goods of every description, dress goods and rugs, and woollen and worsted knitting and fingering yarns, which are sold to the manufacturing and wholesale trade in the Dominion from the Atlantic to the Pacific.The works were erected in 1866 and the present company was incorporated in 1868, and has always been the leading woollen mill of the Dominion; the present capital is $600,000.The buildings are an ornament to the city of Sher: brooke, being substantially constructed of brick, and well situated on the Magog river which supplies the motive power for operating the works.The equipment is up- te in all respeets, and em- 1\u20ac braces all the machinery and appliances necessary for successfully carrying on the large and growing trade controlled by this enterprising company, and a staff of nearly six hundred hands gives every facility for the prompt execution of all orders.The wools used come Zrincipally from Australia, the Cape of Good Hope and South America, and large quantities of domestic wool are also used in the manufacture of the output of the mill, which amounts to about $700,000 annually, and in the production of which about.$170, 000 is paid out in wages to the operatives.The head office of the company is situated at

the different processes of: manufacture can accomplish, is done to turn out fine, well-finished goods.To meet the steadily increasing demand for their goods, they last year built a large new factory, which has been equipped with the newest improved labour-saving machinery.It is the largest factory in Canada, devoted exclusively to the manufacture of men\u2019s shirts and collars, and there is not a province or town of any importance in the Dominion where S.B.and Co.s shirts and collars cannot be obtained from the local dealer.The firm employ a large staff of salesmen, who are constantly on the road.Everything the firm makes is branded with the name \u201c Skelton\u2019s\u2019 or \u20188S.B.& Co.,\u201d and the consumer has learned that this brand carries with it a certificate of excellence.: JOHN MURPHY & COMPANY.Established in the year 1869, at the corner of Notre Dame and St.Peter streets, the well known dry goods firm of John Murphy & Company continued to do a large and rapidly expanding business there until the autumn of 1894, when in accord with the seeming westward trend of the retail trade of the city, they removed to their present palatial premises, at 2343 St.Catherine street, corner of Metcalf street, Montreal.With a change in locality, a change also took place in the nature of the business, which heretofore having been exclusively confined to dry goods, was reorganized and fitted out to meet the requirements of that modern necessity and creation in distribution, a departmental store.Among the specialties sold by this firm are Jaces, dress and mantle trimmings, furs and fur trimmings, embroideries, costumes, cloakings, etc.In addition, manufacturing is carried on extensively in high class millinery, ladies\u2019 tailoring and Parisian dressmaking.The volume of trade done by the firm is by no means confined to the Province of Quebec, but extends throughout the Dominion in ever-widening circles, from the Atlantic to the Pacific.A branch house, thoroughly equipped, has been established in Ottawa, and is considered the finest of its kind in the legislative city.Mr.Murphy, the senior partner and founder of the firm, is well and favorably known in commercial and social circles in Montreal.He was born in the city, and is intimately identified with its later progress; While a thorough man of business, he takes an active and influential interest in many of the elevating agencies and ameliorating influences of its manifold life.: THE BRITISH AMERICAN IMPORT COMPANY, The business at present conducted under the firm name of the British American Import Company, was established twelve years ago by Mr.C.Rosenberg, the present proprietor.This is another of the many enterprises that have started in a small way and have developed into important concerns.As business increased, the first premises occupied became too small, and two.years ago the present warerooms, consisting of four large flats at No.364 St.Paul street, were secured and the present firm name.was adopted.Since that time business has nearly doubled and the \u2019s eon- nections have been steadily increasing in all parts of the Dominion.The deal in imported English woollens, Canadian woollens, staple dry goods, clothiers\u2019 supplies, tailors\u2019 trimmings, men\u2019s furnishings and sundries connected with such a business.They have several travellers on the road and receive numerous orders by mail.Goods are made up to order if desired.Mr.Rosenberg has had many years of practical experience in his line of business and as he carries a large stock he is prepared to give his customers entire satisfaction in connection with all orders entrusted to him.DAILY WITNESS.HENRY MORGAN & COMPANY.\u2018The \u2018 Colonial House,\u201d as the large establishment of Messrs.Henry Morgan & Company is called, was founded in 1844 by the late Messrs.Henry Morgan and James Morgan.The business is now conducted by Mr.James Morgan, jr., and Mr.Colin D.Morgan.After occupying different sites down town,the business was removed in 1891 to St.Catherine street, opposite Phillips square, and in 1900 a large addition was made to the premises, for the accommodation of new departments.The business is divided into thirty-six departments comprising every article of dry goods, China, drugs, glassware, boots and shoes, men\u2019s furnishings, books, stationery and kitchen utensils.Among the latest additions to the business are the optical department, photographic and sporting goods, confectionery and a well appointed restaurant.Particular attention is paid to carpets, curtains, wall papers and hangings, and all manner of house furnishings and decorations, a staff of salesmen, designers\u2019 and workmen being maintained to furnish ideas, give expert advice, and carry out the work in a satisfactory manner, either in or out of the city.The greatest care is exercised in the selection of materials, and the most drtis- tic designs are to be found here, in curtains, tapestries, Eastern and European rugs of the best makes.In the furniture department a staff of upholsterers and cabinet makers is also maintained.In the new wing is situated the art gallery which is visited daily by hundreds.Here may be seen and purchased pictures of every kind and examples of every school of painting, worth from five to five thousand dollars.In connection with this department pictures are framed, cleaned and restored.The business of this firm is a purely retail one,and customers are served in Halifax and Vancouver by means of catalogues and the mail order system, with as much satisfaction as if they personally visited the store.HAYCOCK & DUDGEON.One of the most attractive dry goods stores and one of the first business houses to be established in St.Catherine street west, is that of Messrs.Haycock & Dudgeon.The partners in this firm are essrs.A.B.Haycock and John Dudgeon, both men of thorough experience, up-to-date methods, keen foresight, and still in the prime of life.Linens have always been a specialty with this firm, and for many years their establishment down town, and later on St.Catherine street, near the corner of Peel street, was known as the \u2018 Belfast warehouse.\u201d A year ago last May the firm moved into their present large new premises near Mountain street, and the move has proved a wise one.Business has increased sevenfold in eight years\u2014 a record seldom equalled in commercial life.New departments have been added from time to time, and the store to-day is unexcelled in respect to the quality and completeness of its stock.The large airy basement is used for the toy and fancy goods department, and is a most attractive spot, especially at Christmas time.Ribbons, laces, trimmings, hosiery, gloves and small wares, as well as linens and staple goods will be found on\u2019 the ground floor.The upper floors are reached by an electric passenger elevator.On the first floor they show the latest dress goods, silks, prints, whitewear, wool underwear and millinery.On this floor also are the offices and a cosy waiting-room where customers may meet their friends.rest, write letters, ete.On the second floor are the mantle, costume, blouse, boys\u2019 clothing and curtain departments, as well as the dressmaking rooms.All departments are well lighted and ventilated, and the display of goods is most convenient and.pleasing.Messrs.Haycock and Dudgeon have shown their wisdom and enterprise in establishing themselves in what is generally considered will be the future centre of the retail trade of Montreal.W.H.SCROGGIE.For many years the north-west corner of St.Catherine and University streets was occupied by and widely known as Scroggie\u2019s dry goods store.Two years ago the management decided to extend the scope of their operations and con- \u2018duct the business on departmental lines, and, on Sept.11, 1900, after extensive alterations the establishment was re-open- ed as a departmental store.Since that time previous successes have been exceeded and the addition of departments has gone on, until to-day some forty-five stores may be said to be operated under the one roof and management, a uniform system prevailing throughout.The capacity of four floors is taxed to provide display and storage room for the immense stocks required to meet the demands of the firm's clientelle.The comfort and convenience of the public have been considered in the lay-out and furnishing of the stores, and the most prompt and courteous attention is accorded visitors and patrons alike, by every member of the staff.Except in the cases of millinery, toilet requisites and goods cut from the piece, money is refunded if dissatisfaction is expressed.The firm\u2019s stock in all departments is complete, and, judging from the busy aspect of the interior at all times of the day, their daily announcements represent.facts which are.being constantly proven and appreciated by the public.For the accommodation of out-of-town customers,the firm arrange to pay the express charges on dry goods purchases of five dollars and over to points within three hundred miles of Montreal, and freight charges on other goods when the value exceeds ten dollars.Catalogues are published for the convenience of dis- « Notre Dame street.\u2014= vom tant customers and will be nu.on application.B

manu- lactured by Mr.R.J.Tooke as it does to make a whole shirt for some other firms.When the quality of the goods is taken into consideration, besides, it is easy to understand why there should be such a difference in the prices and wearing properties of these garments.Mr.Tooke is probably the largest retail shirt manufacturer in the Dominion.His factory supplies nearly all the shirts, collars

In the Province of Quebec, Messrs.Barry Brothers, 1811 Notre Dame street, represent the company, and their energy and popularity among all classes of business men, has further accentuated the success of the Crompton Corset, whose sales they have largely increased in this territory since they assumed the agency.It is a pleasure to witness the success of Canadian enterprise and the Cromp- ton Corset Company can certainly be proud of its record. 10 .MR.J.FRANK RIEPERT.° This illustration represents the Main Silk room at Mr.Riepert\u2019s Yokohama Branch Office.ORIENTAL GOODS.In this mercantile review of the City of Montreal, the firm of J.Frank Rie- pert must be noted as being one of the most progressive and successful in the handling of silks, Oriental art goods, rugs and mattings, through being the pioneer in personally visiting the Far East and selecting his own importations of goods, calculated to be especially suited for the Canadian market, and whose attractive warehouse is situated at 60 St.Peter street.The modern popular demand among the fair sex for artistic productions in silk fabrics is constantly increasing, and gives unlimited scope for the utilization of scientific skill in creating desirable effects.In this particular Mr.Riepert possesses the faculty of originating harmonious designs, enabling him to take the initiative in showing the latest combinations in fabries and novelties, and owing to his annually visiting the Western Continent as well as Japan, he is kept in touch with the newest ideas.CHARLES DESJARDINS & CO.\u2018The largest and best-equipped retail fur house in the world\u2019 is that of Charles Desjardins & Company of Montreal.The premises have a frontage of 150 feet on St.Catherine street and a depth of 178 feet on St.Timothee street, and consist of five floors.The total staff of fur workers employed by the firm is 160, to which must be added a small army.of clerks and other employees.Mr.Charles Desjardins is the sole proprietor of the business, and Mr.F.A.Langlois is the manager.Mr.Desjardins, who has been in the fur business all his life, visits Europe two or three times every year and purchases all the firm\u2019s raw furs, which are bought direct from the trappers.Mr.Langlois has had twenty-eight years\u2019 experience as a practical furrier, both in Europe and the United States.The firm employ the very best expert artist furriers, desiguers and cutters that money can procure, and the customer gets all these advantages in addition to first-quality furs at from 25 to 30 percent less than competitors\u2019 prices.This firm carry a large stock of Royal érmine, genuine Crown Russian sable and Hudson\u2019s Bay sable, which are the most fashionable furs for this season.Persian lamb, seal and mink are always favorites, and are among the firm\u2019s staples.Co.LL Messrs.Desjardins & Co.are originators and designers of styles in fur goods, and are copied by New York, Tondon and Paris manufacturers.This house was the first to make up Siberian squirrel sets, which are now so muc sought after.; .There is nothing in the fur line that this firm cannot supply to customers, and as to style, quality and prices they defy competition.French counts, Russian noblemen and others from all parts of the world are numbered among this firm\u2019s customers.MESSRS.JAMES CORISTINE & COMPANY (LIMITED.) One of the oldest lines of business for which Montreal is noted, is the fur trade, and one of the oldest houses engaged in the fur trade in Canada, is that now owned and managed by Messrs.James Coristine & Company.This business was established in 1852, under the name of Gerhardt, Lomer & Company, with a branch house in New York.In the early days of the company the exportation .of raw furs to Europe was extensively carried on.Mr.Coristine became a member of the firm, and, in 1869, bought out the interests of the other partners, and became the sole proprietor _of the business.He closed the New York branch and confined his attention to the importation and manufacture of furs and felt bats.In 1899 the concern was incorporated with Mr.Coristine as president, and Messrs.B.W.Grigg and F.W.Kayser as directors., Their extensive premises were totally destroyed by fire in January, 1901, but have since been rebuilt, the new premises fronting on St.Paul, St.Nicholas and Lemoine streets.The total frontage is 350 feet.The building is a massive, modern, fireproof structure, seven stories in height.The factory is one of the most spacious in America, and was built with the object of furnishing every facility for the production of fur goods.The workine staff is very large, as it must needs be to meet the growing requirements of their business.The product finds purchasers in_ every portion of the Dominion, from Cape Breton to Dawson City.The furs used are purchased in Asiatic Russia, China, Japan, Australia and Europe, and comprise nearly all the kinds {mown to commerce.The demand, especially during the last three years, has been very large, and, judging by the present healthy condition of the country, the company will have orders probably in excess of past years during the coming season.Mr.Riepert recently returned from a tour through Europe, where he visited the noted silk weavers of France, Switzerland, Germany and England, and reports having been exceptionally fortunate in securing attractive effects, including exclusive artistic designs of the latest novelties for the spring season of 190.In addition to dress silks, this firm does an extensive business in floor rugs and mattings, and finds the demand constantly increasing.They also show the largest collection of newest designs in Oriental silk art embroideries, including mantle drapes, piano scarfs, cushion tops, chair scarfs, shawls, draperies, etc, also ladies\u2019 and men\u2019s silk handkerchiefs, in great variety.Since its establishment in Montreal this firm has been the headquarters for all descriptions of the finest Oriental and European goods.Five traveling salesmen are employed, covering the entire Dominion of Canada, and offering inducements to customers that cannot readily be duplicated elsewhere.Alb an dl sors .er Tirer os rT HGS TOT rR = a a we i Hi [I Ht ; ir Il THE MONTREAL EDGAR, CORISTINE & COMPANY.(Successors to Greene & Sons Company.) Messrs.Edgar, Coristine & Company are manufacturers, importers and wholesale dealers in hats, caps and fur goods.This business was established in 1840 by Messrs.Greene & Sons, who at that period were the pioneers in the dressing and manufacture of furs in Canada.It is needless to say that at that early date the manufacture of this line of goods was in its infancy, the styles being few in number and of antiquated design.The business of Messrs.Greene & Sons Company was continued without interruption until their retirement a few years ago.In January, 1900, the present firm of Edgar, Coristine & Company was formed in succession, Mr.John Edgar having been a partner in the business for more than twenty-five years.The business is still carried on in the old premises, 517- 521 St.Paul street, which has now been occupied in this department of trade for over sixty years.It is not to be wondered at that this business has become one of the best known in the country, and its connections widely established throughout the Dominion.The several changes which have occurred havé not appreciably altered the conditions of the business which at present enjoys a large output of the leading styles of the finer class of ladies\u2019 and men\u2019s wear in the fur line.Messrs.Edgar, Coristine & Company are also large importers of felt and straw hats and in the two separate departments of furs and hats have secured a large share of the trade.Their staff of travellers cover the territory from the Maritime Provinces to the Pacific coast.The members of the firm personally select their stock in the leading markets of Europe, and for the trade they keep a full line of raw and dressed skins, tails, satins, trimmings, etc.The firm employ an efficient staff of skilled labor which has had the effect of establishing for Messrs.Edgar, Coristine & Company a reputation for the superior style and finish of their productions.MESSRS.L.GNAEDINGER, SON & COMPANY.In the front rank among fur dealers and manufacturers, are L.Gnaedinger, Sons & Company, of Montreal.Established in 1852, they have grown up with the fur trade and are one of the best known houses in this country.The present members of the firm are Messrs.E.W.Gnaedinger, F.G.Gnae- dinger, J.T.Gnaedinger and Mr.K.Weber, and their offices \u2018and sales rooms are at 90, 92 and 94 St.Peter street, while the increasing business of the firm has made it necessary recently to secure spacious warerooms at 30 St.Peter street.In addition to these large premises the company have large new workshops at 1623 Notre Dame street, and they employ about one hundred and fifty hands.Their head offices and show rooms consist of four large floors and a basement, 120 by 70 feet, at the corner of St.Peter and Re- collet streets.The firm have completed arrangements for the addition of three new stories to their offices and warerooms, shown above.Their nine travelers cover the whole Dominion, from Prince Edward Island to British Columbia, and show lines of hats, caps, furs and furriers\u2019 trimmings, not excelled in this country.This company manufacture every kind of fur garment that can be required for men\u2019s, women\u2019s and children\u2019s wear, whether for use or ornament.Russian furs are their specialty, including the valuable and popular lines known as Persian lamb, Astrachan, and grey lamb.They have fine coney skins from Paris and Brussels, and seal and Australian furs, bought in London, England.L.Gnaedinger Sons & Company have this year completed their fiftieth year of unbroken success in -the fur business.Their trade mark, the moose head, is known all over the Dominion and stands for the standard of excellence in furs.THE WALDRON, DROUIN COMPANY (LIMITED).Montreal is the great manufacturing centre for the Dominion for hats, caps and furs, and the Waldron, Drouin Company (Limited), wholesale hatters and furriers, are rapidly coming to the front in this line of business.Estab: lished in 1895 by the present board of management, and.incorporated in the present year, the company is now firmly established and has made itself a splendid reputation.The management of the company is in the hands of such capable men as Mr.A.Eaves, presi dent; Mr.S.G.Waldron, vice-presi- dent; Mr.F.B.Drouin, managing director, and Mr.J.T.Smith, secre tary-treasurer.During the past four years the busi ness of the company has more than doubled, necessitating the reorganization of the concern, making it a limited company;

in fact, every continent and civilized country on the face of the globe.Montreal has always led the cities of Canada in the matter of metal manufactures.Her machine shops, rolling mills, bridge building works, car works, wire works, stove works, and general jounding and machinery enterprises have had a continuous record of growth, expansion and prosperity.There was a time, and not so long ago, when Steel and heavy iron had to be imported from England, Germany, the United States and other countries.To-day we manufacture at Sydney, C.B., New Glasgow, NS.; Hamilton, Ontario, Sault Ste.Marie and other places the finest steel in large quantities.Our agricultural implement shops, electrical works, fine tool factories and kindred industries consume the present output, while both the demand and the supply are rapidly increasing.Although starting at a later date, and having hitherto a smaller population than competing countries and nations, Canada is destined to shine in the world as a producer of both raw and manufactured metals.When the race is over she will not be found last in the running.She wants capital and she wants population.In respect to her resources, her methods and the quality of her products, there is nothing to be desired.There are reasons why, in some lines of manufacture, Montreal must continue to lead for many years to come.There are other departments of mechanical industry, however, that are developing, owing to natural causes, faster in the east and also in the west than at the centre.As a manufacturing centre Montreal to-day holds the palm, and it is to the credit of her enterprising citizen capitalists that the Canadian metropolis to-day is well known throughout the world as the home of some of the most successful, progressive and extensive manufacturing concerns on the globe, ari tle place where, in some lices, the best of their kind in the world are made.The metal industries of Canada may be placed in two classes : mining and manufacture, It is estimated that for every ten thousand of our population, about 1,500 are engaged in extracting various metals from the earth, and 800 in manufacturing the raw material into all kinds of machinery, tools, etc.; 1,600 are engaged in agricultural pursuits; 400 in trade and transportation; 140 in the professions, and the balance in miscellaneous employment.In the line of heavy iron manufacture Montreal has made a record that no other city in Canada can ever surpass.It was here that the first steam boat engine ever built in Canada was construect- ed, and Montreal has, ever since, been headquarters for boilers, engines, structural iron work, architectural iron work, hammered relief work, brass and copper goods, elevators, wire goods, and general founding.The first Canadian smelting works were erected in this province in 1737 by pe French Government, and were known as the St.Maurice Forges.After the treaty of Paris, these works were carried on by the British.Later, other smelters were established at Hull, Que.; Marmora, Furnace Falls and other places in Ontario; Woodstock, N.B., and points in Nova Scotia._The production of iron from Canadian blast furnaces, at Present, must.be near two hundred thousand tons per annum.r\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 DOMINION BRIDGE COMPANY (LIMITED).One of the great and growing enterprises of the city of Montreal and her thriving suburban towns, is that of the Dominion Bridge Company (Limited).The works and offices of this establishment are located at the neighboring town of Lachine, and form one of the principal industries of that town, and the success: of the enterprise attracts the attention of manufacturers to the advantages offered at that location.The Dominion Bridge Company was organized nineteen years ago in a most modest way, with an original capacity of 6,000 tons per annum.Bridges \u2018and structural iron for all purposes are the products of the plant, and the demand has increased to such an extent that the capacity has been extended to 25,000 tons per annum, single turn, and further additions are now in progress.The company works over the entire Dominion and does an export business to Newfoundland.Our best buildings and largest bridges are being supplied with the structural iron by, theme officers of the company include the following ist of names, Which is a sufficient guarantee for the progressive policy of the firm: \u2014 progr James Ross, president; James P.Dawes, vice-president; Phelps Johnson, manager, and A.W.Sherwood, secre- tary-treasurer.Their post-office address is Montreal.H.R.IVES & COMPANY.An establishment that has done much to secure an enviable reputation for Canadian manufactured goods, and one in which the city of Montreal can justly take considerable pride, is that of H.R.Ives & Company, general founders, and manufacturers of brass and iron bedsteads, architectural iron work, artistic wrought iron grates, fences, bank railings, hammered leaf work, grilles, chandeliers, elevator enclosures, elevator cars, ete.The best and most artistic work in the modern structures throughout the Dominion has been furnished by this firm whose immense plant, having over two acres of floor space, is located on King, Queen, Prince, William and Ottawa streets, Montreal.The products of the plant are so numerous and varied,they cannot be mentioned in this article.One of their great leaders, however, is brass and iron bedsteads.In this line they are not surpassed in Canada, and their output reaches the immense total of three hundred bedsteads per day, which number even is not sufficient to supply the demand, An enquiry elicited the response that the plant was overcrowded and the highest tension must be employed to keep pace with the remarkable call for goods.The handiwork of this firm is visible at almost every turn: the Parliament buildings, the Grand Trunk offices, the great new King Edward Hotel, the Hotel Frontenac, all C.P.R.hotels, and the Governor-General\u2019s house are a few of the structures fitted out by H.R.Ives & Company.Plainer and less expensive goods are also manufactured, in fact all grades, from the cheapest to the very best.Another specialty is the Royal Buffalo Hot Water Heater: a heater constructed to consume less coal and give more heat than any other heater in the market today, and fast coming into prominence as the popular heating apparatus of the age.STAR IRON COMPANY (LIMITED.) The Star Iron Company (Limited), was founded in 1894, by Messrs.C.F.Lalonde, C.Guimond, C.F.Leduc and J.B.Leduc.It was incorporated in 1898, and the present officers are Mr.AS.Hamelin, president; Mr.L.A.Mon- genais, manager, and Mr.P.Roullier, secretary.The head offices of the firm are at 593 Craig street, and the warehouses at 8 and 10 Coté street.The articles manufactured by them include hot water boilers, wall coil stays, steam fittings, THE PILLOW & HERSEY MANUF This is the pioneer as well as one of ti: largest establishments engaged in !i8 manufacture of bar iron, nails, etc., in Canada.Their rolling mill, horse \u201ctoe, spike and cut nail factories are lo- led at Nos.94 to 102 St.Patrick -lreet;

reached immense proportions, but the foreign business has had a phenomenal growth.There are more Mas- sey-Harris machines sold in Great Britain than of any other make, and the same applies to the Australian trade.Not \u2018how cheap\u2019 but \u2018how good\u2019 is their motto.To take care of this growing business, branch offices controlling extensive districts have been established; at

heaters, steam fittings, scales, ete, by this firm and its connections, has developped to enormous proportions.Out of the original business has grown the Gurney Foundry Company (Limited), the Gurney-Tilden Company, of Hamilton, the Gurney Scale Company, of Hamilton, the Gurney-Massey Company, of Montreal, the Gurney Stove & Range Company, of Winnipeg, the Gurney branch store, at Vancouver, B.C., and the Gurney Heater Manufacturing Company, of Boston, with branches in New York and Chicago.branch of the Gurney Foundry Company (Limited), has also been established in London, England.In 1875 Messrs, E.and C.Gurney es- tublished a branch in Montreal, with offices in St.James street.This enterprise grew to such an extent that in 1893 it was decided to turn the Montreal branch into an entirely separate concern, and it was accordingly incorporated under the name of the urney-Massey Company (Limited).The president is Mr Edward Gurney; the vice-president is Mr.W.H.Carrick, and the managing director, Mr.R.J.Lockhart.The of- tices and warerooms of this company are at 385-387 St.Paul street.Nothing is maunfactured by the Guruey-Massey Company, but they sell the Oxford\u2019

deal of late, and promises to do much more, for the advanéement of Canadian manufacturing interests is the Canadian Manufacturers\u2019 Association.The head office of the Association is in r r Cyrus A.Birge, of Hamilton, is the president.The work of the Association runs in many different channels.One of its aims is to preserve the Canadian market, as far as possible, for Canadian industries.Another object is to infuse a spirit of national pride into the Canadian people and to impress upon them the advisability of buying goods \u2018made in Canada.\u2019 Its ambition also is to encourage the extension of Canadian trade in outside markets.Much has been done to advertise Canadian products in foreign countries; to teach \u2018foreigners\u2019 the fact that Canada can export pianos, carpet and machinery as well as wheat, lumber, cheese and fish.Its efforts in this direction have proven very successful.Numerous correspondents have been appointed in foreign countries, and they are busily engaged talking \u2018Canada, and supplying the Canadian merchants \u2018with information relative to the markets in which they are situated.Agents coming to Canada to learn of its possibilities, in respect to exports, are taken in hand and put in touch with our manufacturers.An information bureau has been established at the head office and through this thousands of trade enquiries pass every year.Exhibits of Canadian goods are placed in foreign exhibitions, and in a thousand and one ways, the Association is trying to enthuse \u2018export\u2019 enterprise into the minds of its members, and ¢ import\u2019 enterprise into the minds of foreigners.The local branch has taken up some | important matters affecting the interests of local manufacturers.Its voice was effectively heard against the machinery tax.It is urging the appointment of a representative for the Province of Quebec in the London Trade Commissioners\u2019 office, to be established in London, England, and it is also as-i and druggists, sisting in the proposed establishment of | and telephone proper technical facilities for Montreal's industrial classes.Its object is not so much to pass resolutions as to \u2018do things\u201d Twenty-eight of the leading manufacturers of the city are on its executive which is a guarantee that its movements are steady and sure.THE MICA BOILER COVERING CO.(LIMITED) It was in 1895 that inventors discovered a successful process for utilizing the valuable properties of mica as a nonconductor of heat.This process is now controlled by the Mica Boiler Covering Company (Limited).Their mica covering has been on the Canadian market for six years, and is admitted to be the best covering on the market for steam pipes, boilers, engines, water heaters, &c.In order to meet the growing trade the Montreal factory was recently considerably enlarged, and even now the management find difficulty in supplying the demand.Mica covering is largely used on the plants of street rail- HON.LOUIS J.FORGET Senator from Montreal; president of the Montreal Street Railway Company; senior member of the firm of L.J.Forget & Company, financial agents and members of

whose offices are situated at 49 St.Francois Xavier street, Montreal.This firm was established\" so long ago as 1837, by the late Mr.Philip Holland, father of Mr.Philip H.Holland, the present sole proprietor of the business.The late .J.Winn succeeded the founder of the business and formed a partnership with the present proprietor, the present firm name being adopted in Possessing - ample resources and the most valuable trade connections in Europe, the firm do a most extensive business throughout Canada, which brings them in touch with papermakers, cotton | mills, woollen mills, soap works, pork packers, tanners, oil works, enamellers, | paint works, baking powder manufae- ! turers, buttermakers, wholesale grocers confectioners, telegraph companies, wholesale hardware merchants, miners, ete.; in fact with every leading business interest in the Dominion.They are ably represented in St.John, N.B.; Halifax, N.S.; Winnipeg, Man., and Vancouver, B.C., and in some lines do almost the entire trade of Canada.Their importations consist principally of alkali, alum, bicarb soda, bleaching powder, borax, boracic acid, caustic soda, cod liver oil, glycerine, hyposul- phite of soda, morphia, quinine, sal soda, tartaric acid, wire, wire rope, bottles, ete.They represent Brunner, Mond & Co.(Limited), Northwich, and have done so since 1883, and among other English and European

are now covering the pipes of the battleship \u2018 Lancaster, and are completing a large order for the War Office at the Waltham Abbey Powder Mills and the Woolwich Arsenal.The London office recently secured the contract for covering the steam apparatus of H.M.S.¢ Suffolk\u2019 and \u2018 Berwick.\u2019 Among the advantages of mica covering are its durability, lightness, easy application and removal, economy and non-conducting properties in respect to cold and heat.Mica mats are also made for certain purposes, which are elastic and flexible and cannot crack or shrink, though they readily expand and contract with the iron which they are used to cover.The product of this company was awarded the gold medal at the Pan-American Exposition and the grand prize and diploma at the Paris Exhibition of 1900.The company also deal in mica fire-proof cement, mica for stoves and electrical purposes and general engineers\u2019 supplies.Their head office is at 35 Queen Victoria street, London, E.C., and the Canadian office and factory is at 86-92 Ann street, Mont- 1866, and is well and favorably known throughout the Dominion.By means of their connections in New York, and at all the important points of production in the Southern States, they have maintained a leading position in the naval store trade, for the supply of spirits of turpentine, rosin, tar, ete.They make direct shipments from the South to any important point in Canada.They have always in stock the various grades of oakum, and also pine pitch.From their New York house they can fill orders promptly for all

stove and furnace trade, dating its inception from 1854, and its incorporation as a limited company from 1881.Its plant is extensive, as will be seen from accompanying illustration, and is operated continuously from year end to years end, with only a short interyal annually for stocktaking and repairs.people employed runs into the hundreds, and the product is distributed in every province of the Dominion, and is also to some extent exported to Europe.Builders\u2019 and house furnishing hardware, steel hinges and butts, pumps, sawing tools and machines, cabinetmakers\u2019 hardware, lawn mowers, carpet sweepers and clothes wringers are some of the specialties in the hardware department.Within a recent period a tool department has been added, turning out high grade cast steel hammers, sledges, hatchets and axes.In the stove and furnace department all the usual varieties of such goods are produced\u2014cooking stoves and ranges, coal and wood heating stoves, warm air furnaces for coal and for wood, and registers for same.The company\u2019s leader in the heating line is the Kelsey Warm Air Generator, which was introduced to the public in 1896, and has had remarkable success.In construction it differs radically from all ether warm air heaters, and accomplishes results previously considered unattainable by that method of heating.These not only include a distinct saving in fuel, but also a thorough distribution of heat to the remotest corners of the building heated, accompanied by adequate ventilation and purity of air. ÿ 3 ; ; 1 AAC IE ÉD MR er MELE ASA LÉ CARE rg SpA

One of the most prominent and prosperous manufacturing firms in Montreal to-day is that of Messrs.James Me- ; .Cready & Company (limited), boot and .shoe manufacturers, whose factory is at the corner of St.Peter and d\u2019Youville treets.The business was established t 18 and 20 Lemoine street, by the late .James McCready in 1870.; e firm, which was incorporated in NOV, 1900, now consists of Messrs.Chis.¥.Smith, president; Clarence F.S vice-president, and John Ham- ecretary-treasurer.The Canadian kes the total output of this firm THE J.D.KING COMPANY, (LIMITED.) A million dollars\u2019 worth of boots and shoes | at a pile they would make! Well, that is the quantity the J.D.King Company, of Toronto, turn out in a year.This includes both leather and rubber goods.Established in Toronto in 1871, by Mr J.D.King, the business has steadily grown to phenomenal proportions, until to-day they have houses in Montreal, Vancouver and Halifax, and ship $150, 000 worth per annum to foreign couu- tries, principally England, Australia and South Africa, where branches have been established in London, Syduey and Cape \u2018Town respectively.; Three hundred skilled operatives are constantly employed in their factories.\u2018King Quality\u2019 shoes and rubbers, Crown brand shoes and Maltese cross rubbers are their specialties.The company was incorporated in 1892, and the following are the officers: Mr.J.D.King, president; Mr.J.S.King, vice-president; Mr.C.A.Johnson, treasurer and Mr.E.L.Kingsley, secretary.Their Montreal office is at 767 Craig street, and Mr.Robert Wall is the local representative.Fine, stylish, durable goods, made by expert mechanics, are bound to win their way to popular demand, and this- is the secret of the success of the \u2018larg est manufacturers of fine footwear in Canada.\u201d The capacity of their

manufacturing house of J.& T.Bell was founded by Alexander Bell, who, in 1845, was succeeded by Messrs.Joshua and Thomas Bell, at which date it took the present name.In 1881 Mr.John T.Hagar became the sole proprietor, refain- ing the well known name, and continuing which amounts to $700,000 per annum.The company\u2019s imports reach over forty thousand dollars a year, consisting of fine leathers, linings, buttons, wire, machinery, ete.They employ about four hundred hands, mostly Canadians.To meet the requirements of their rapidly increasing business, the company recently decided to build a large new factory, which will have double the capacity of their present plant and enable them to turn out 5,000 pairs of shoes per day.The new premises will be situated on Mount Royal avenue, between Messier and Fullum streets, having a frontage of 170 feet on Mount Royal avenue, and a wing on each of Je a LEATHER GOODS Canada produces good hides and has the best facilities for treating them.Jo DIEDEDIEDIIDIIODIIIENIINIEN INE _ Canada is behind no country in the line of leather manufactures.We raise the hide producing animals on our farms and prairies.We have the forests which produce the best tan-bark in the world.We have large tanneries which employ the most modern and scientific methods in the treatment of the raw material, and turn out a finished article, which is in great demand, far beyond the confines of the Dominion.Our exports both of raw hides and leather have increased about three fold within the last ten years and now amount to very near two million dollars each per annum.Not many years ago, most of our shoe leather and other fine leathers were imported and Canadian leather was largely exported, it being mostly of the coarser grades.Besides, the greater portion of our footwear was imported ready made.All this is rapidly changing.The quality of our domestic leather is mow, in almost every class, equal to the imported article, and the large factories scattered all over this country now produce practically enough shoes to supply the demand.It is true that certain grades of leathers and leather goods are still imported, while, on the other hand, very large orders of boots are being shipped from Canada to Eng- pzaoze/aza0zen;ze DR 0TAYa0Te TasVAUTe - land, Africa, Australia and other lands, entering into very successful competition with the goods there manufactured.Up-to-date business methods, the most modern machinery, combined with first-class material and workmanship, all contribute to this satisfactory condition of affairs.It is estimated that about twelve million dollars\u2019 worth of leather is made in Canada each year.There aie about eighty shoe factories in Canada, and fifty of these are in Quebec province, some of the largest being in Montreal.Montreal also has extensive works, for the manufacture of patent and carriage leathers, harness leathers, ete.The enormous increase in the demand for fine carriages, covered buggies and leather upholstered equipages, in recent years, has made this industry one of great and growing importance.The leather industries of this country give employment to many thousands of hands, and are giving capitalists good returns for their investments.Montreal has long been the foremost to manufacture the best and most stylish footwear in the Dominion of Canada, if not on the continent.The great factory is located at 180 Inspector street, Montreal, and recent additions and improvements have made it as complete as modern machinery and appliances could do.All grades of boots and shoes for men\u2019s, women\u2019s and children\u2019s wear are manufactured.ATT.FINE FOOD TWEAR a à.JsT.BELL,FINE FOOTWEAR.SRE =o STEN == MONTREAL.JOHN T.HAGAR, PROPRIETOR the other streets, 230 feet

and dining rooms for the use of the employees on their property in rear of the new factory.It is expected that the new premises will be ready for occupation about the first of December.There will be

honored name with signal success.-This firm have, from the commencement, made a specialty of hand made boots and shoes, and are the recognized leaders in this class of goods.Their establishment has been favored with the patronage of the most fashionable people in Canada and the United States.The firm have also had the distinguished honor of doing work for the royal representatives of the British Crown when they have visited Montreal, including His Majesty King Edward VII., who, as Prince of Wales, visited Canada in 1860.Of this fact the venerable founder of the enterprise was naturally very proud.Lo The \u2018 House of Dangerfield,\u2019 as it is sometimes called, has a wide reputation for the superiority of its fine shoes, and many customers of the firm residing in Europe or the United States, will wear no other make.The firm manufacture all sizes and styles of boots and shoes, dress slippers, riding and military boots, etc, in their factory, at 1671 Notre Dame street, where they occupy four extensive flats.Notwithstanding the general introduction of machinery into the shoe manufacturing industry, this firm still find it profitable to.make high class hand sewn boots and shoes, and their total output is steadily increasing from year to year.They also carry a large and complete assortment of French and German felt slippers, buckskin \u2018overs, cloth boots, overshoes and rubbers.Since the death of the late Mr.Dangerfield, in November last, the business has been taken over and managed by Mr.John Ryan and Mr.Patrick Donnelly.Both gentlemen were connected with the business from boyhood; the former having had charge of the manufacturing department for thirty-nine years, and the for twenty-two years.The name and their care.MR.JAMES One of the successful business men of Montreal, and one who furnishes an example of what can be done by judicious management combined with a thorough knowledge of his business, is Mr.James Robinson.In 1885 Mr.Robinson de- eided: to go into the boot and shoe business as a jobber.He commenced by opening an office in his own house.Increasing business necessitated his removal to other and larger premises, and in 1896 he secured the large warerooms, show rooms and offices, he now occupies at 184 and 186 McGill street.These also proving inadequate, Mr.Robinson, some months ago, leased additional storeroom.The growth of the business is perhaps best illustrated by the following figures :\u2014In 1885 he did $4,600 worth of business; in 1895, $337,000; and in 1901, $862,000 worth.Mr.Robinson has devoted considerable attention to the rubber industry as well as to boots and shoes.Six years ago he organized the Maple Leaf Rubber Com- ROBINSON, - pany, (Limited), which has a large factory at Port Dalhousie, Ont.He is president of the company.Mr.J.A.Me- Laren, of Toronto, is the vice-president, and Mr.Walter Binmore, the secretary- treasurer.This factory turns out immense quantities of rubbers, but is unable to fill the demand.Mr.Robinson is also president of and a large shareholder inethe Durham Rubber Company (Limited), of Bowmanville, Unt.Rubber belting, bicycle and carriage tires, fire and garden hose, packing, rubber soles and heels of the \u2018Durham\u2019 and \u2018Czar\u2019 brands, and rubber cement of excellent quality.are here manufactured.This factory is also taxed to its utmost capacity to fill orders.Fifteen travel lers represent Mr.Robinson\u2019s interests throughout the Dominion.- Mr.Robinson\u2019s imports of specialties in the fine shoe line, from England, Germany, France, Austria and the United States amount to $50,000 per annum.Mr.Robinson is president of the Dominion Commercial Travellers\u2019 Association.leather and boot and shoe manufacturing city in Canada, and it is estimated that the annual output of boots and shoes in this city alone is worth five million dollars.It is probable that the united plants in the shoe trade in Montreal would be worth an equal sum of money.Four thousand hands are employed in this industry in Montreal alone.- The first shoe factory in Canada is said to have been established in 1828 in Montreal.There is, perhaps, no Tine of business in which machinery plays a more important part than in that of shoe- making and leather working of all kinds.Great improvements have been made in this line in late years.SHAW, CASSILS & COMPANY.Two of the largest sole leather tan neries in the British Empire are nwned by Messrs.Shaw, Cassils & Company whose head offices are at 1798 and 1800 Notre Dame street, Montreal.One of these tanneries is at Bracebridge, Ont.and the other at Huntsville, Ont.They also.have a tannery at Hawkshaw, near Fredericton, N.B.The ocak and hemlock sole leather manufactured by this is celebrated the world over, their annual output amounting to ten million pounds, half of which is exported, principally to England.The balance is disposed of in Canada.The company\u2019s export business is rapidly increasing, owing to the superior quality of their produets.It has, in fact, doubled within the last five years, and is now equal to one-fourth of the total exportation of sole leather out of the United States.Five hundred men are employed by this company in preparing this enormous quantity of goods for the market.The hides treated by Messrs.Shaw, Cassils & Company come, principally, from South America, China, and ihe East Indies, as those procured from these countries make a leather of the most solid and durable nature.The capital invested in this business is $1, 500,000, and the annual turnover amounts to two million dollars.The business was established by Messrs, F.Shaw & Bros., at Roxton Falls, Que., in 1859.They removed 10 Montreal in 1862, and in 1874, the late Mr.John Cassils was admitted as a partner in the firm when the present rm name was adopted.The members of the firm now are Mr.Brackley Shaw, Mr.C.T.Shaw, Mr.Henry B.JAMES LINTON & COMPANY.All grades of boots and shoes, from their

Company was established in 1875 for the purpose of carrying on a wholesale business in carriage builders\u2019 and harnessmakers\u2019 supplies.With the growth and development of the business came the decision to go into the manufacture of carriages and harness.For this purpose a large factory was secured at \"758-788 Notre Dame street.It is a substantial brick building of four stories, and a basement with a frontage of 225 and 65 feet in width, and \u2018 L\u2019 wing 125 feet long, four stories high, and 40 feet deep.Besides this there is a two story warehouse, 150 feet by 75 feet, on the premises.The company\u2019s offices, show rooms, city warerooms and harness factory are at 333-335 St.Paul street.These premises consist of a large solid stone building of six stories running through St.Paul street to Le Royer street, the ground floor being occupied as offices and show rooms.These show rooms include two stores, and are filled with stylish carriage and harness outfits, saddlery, horse clothing, &c., &c.This year the firm will turn out several thousand buggies and more than a thousand cutters.Be sides their large home trade they send large shipments of vehicles and leather suitable warerooms and offices were taken at 771 Craig street, where the firm now occupy five large flats.Five years ago the firm name of W.A.Fleming & Company was adopted, Mr.Fleming still remaining the sole proprietor.At the same time a branch was opened at St.John, , Where a full line of goods is carried for the convenience of the maritime trade.Dealing in the Reddaway Company\u2019s goods naturally led to the addition of other lines allied to the milling trade.The firm are sole agents in Quebec and the maritime provinces for the Shallow Lake Pulley Company, owners of Reid's patent on bent-rim pulleys, and ma=a- facturers of the same.They are agents for the Garfield Oil Company of Cleveland, Ohio; also for Lythite cold water paint and manufacturers of Zanzibar paint, which are in great demand for both interior and exterior use.They also keep in stock a full line of linen goods to Great Britain, South Africa, hose, ose racks, Niagara spray and New Zealand.The total

iron and steel department, and add to the chemical business dye stuffs and Portland cements.This led, about ten years ago, to their taking up the business of laying asphalt pavements and sidewalks.They now own two extensive plants, one in Montreal and the other in Ottawa, and they are prepared to undertake contracts for high grade paving in any part of the Dominion.In cements they import English, German and American grades; in chemicals they keep bleaching powders, caustic soda, blue vitriol, sulphate of alumina and innumerable other lines; in dye stuffs they carry a very extensive stock of logwood extracts and aniline.They are the sole agents in the United States and Canada for the West Indies Chemical Works (Limited), of Spanishtown, Jamaica, the largest manufacturers of logwood extracts in the world.This is the only firm whose works are situated on the spot where the wood is grown.Also agents for Kuthoff, Pickhardt & Co., aniline and aleyarine colors, indigo, ete.The company have a branch in New York, which is conducted under the firm name of Dillon & Company.It was established thirteen years ago.The Montreal house is managed by Mr.R.Lacy Dillon, and the New York house by Mr.James St.George Dillon, who are the partners and proprietors of the united concern.This company\u2019s busi- It shows a ness has increased fivefold in the last twelve years.© The annual turnover now amounts to a million and a quarter of dollars, and their imports are equal, to one hundredth part of all the imports coming into Canada in a year.Messrs.Bellhouse, Dillon & Company have supplied the cement for such large contracts as the new elevator in the Montreal harbor and the harbor improvements; the new pier at Maison- neuve, the Hillsboro\u2019 bridge at Charlottetown, P.EI., the Quebec bridge, the pulp and paper mills at Brompton Falls and Spanish River, and many others.Their Montreal office is at No.30 St.Francois Xavier street.SUESLELIL eS 2 x &Ÿ +1 3° x s The Building Trade The Building Trade & % \u2014 2 x x A City's Homes and Offices $ % % = | bear witness to its Prosper- $ % & % ity or otherwise.eal % Cas APSARA DÉCOR IDR DRIDE IDR T® DXIOX IDR IORIAIOSS Naturally, the building trade is one of the oldest and most important lines of business in any town or city.Civilized people want houses to live in, and offices, warehouses and factories in which to carry on their enterprises.The more prosperous business is, the larger and finer will be the homes and places of business of the people.This is true of individuals, firms and cities.One can judge very correctly, as a rule, whether prosperity or adversity obtains in a community by the style and comfort or convenience of their buildings and.residences.Montreal is undoubtedly the richest, as well as the largest, city in Canada, and the fact is revealed in no better or plainer way than by the character of its buildings\u2026 They are artistic; they are substantial; they are modern in all their appointments, and comfortably furnished.Not only has Montreal a mountain and river, an island and numerous city and suburban parks near by as cooling and refreshing breathing spots in the warm days of summer, but, thanks to the high attainments of the architects\u2019 and builders\u2019 professions, our citizens reside in homes that provide the utmost comfort in the coldest days of our glorious Canadian winter.The newest and handsomest designs, the most attractive and durable material, whether in stone, brick or wood, combined with the most modern interior finish and , ornamentation, are put into our homes and offices, and there i= as great a difference between the construction and furnishing of our homes and those of our grand-parents, as in our ways of doing business compared with the methods of two generations agp.The building trade in Montreal is now in a prosperous condition.The general prosperity all over the land is favorable to great advances in this line of business throughout the Dominion, aud the fact of large manufacturing plants springing up in and about Montreal, bringing with them increased population, foretells a time of still greater activity at hand for the building trade.THE J.CRADOCK SIMPSON REAL ESTATE AND AGENCY COMPANY._ Montreal is growing rapidly, and the indications are that the growth of the city during the next ten years will be as much as during the last twenty years.Thirty years ago the assessed value of real estate in Montreal was $46,000,- 000, and the population 107,225, while this year the assessed value is $150,000, 000, and the population about 300,000.The suburban electric car service has helped to develop the neighboring muni- \u201cipalities, the statistics of which should airly be counted in with Montreal.The business of real estate is now a very large one, and chief amongst the rms engaged in that business is the J.Cradock Simpson Real Estate and Agency Company.This incorporated rompany, of which Mr.J.Cradock Simpson is president and managing director, is the outcome of a real estate, insurance and financial agency business, started by Mr.Simpson about twenty- \u2018pur years ago, and which has been con- \u2018\u2019nued in all its branches, buying and ~lling real estate on commission, man- \u201cfing properties and estates,

is the above well known firm, and many of the leading manufacturing and residential premises bear testimony to their work.The business was established in 1890 by the late .John Heggie and Mr.Jno.Stewart (who is now the sole partner), and the offices of the firm are at No, 170 Guy street.To mention a few of the best known premises erected by this firm, reference must be made to the Gault Bros.& Company\u2019s warehouse, corner of William and Inspector streets, and those of Skelton Bros., manufacturers of shirts and collars, on William street, and the Laing Packing and Provision Company, on Mill street, Point St.Charles.) One of the largest buildings now in course of construction in Montreal is that of James McCready and Company (Limited) in the new town of Delori- mier, the contract for which is Being executed by Heggie & Stewart./ The spacious and ornamental busingss premises now being erected on St.Catherine street, for Mr.R.J.Inglis, is another sample of the class of work being executed by this firm.In no small measure does the city of Westmount owe its popularity as a residential neighborhood to the enterprise of Mr.Stewart, who has built some of the finest residences on Roslyn avenue and other streets in the near neighborhood.These buildings are distinguished by a class of work and style of construction which at once stamps them as comfort: able and \u2018modern\u2019 residences in every sense of the word.Particular reference must also be made to Victoria Hall and the Public Library in this new and flourishing town, which for superior workmanship in every detail, is unsurpassed in the Dominion, and which the contractors and citizens of Westmount may well be proud of.PILKINGTON BROS.(LIMITED).The great glass manufacturing firm of Pilkington Bros.(Limited), of St.Helen\u2019s Lancashire, a firm employing 10,000 hands and ranking as one of the largest in the world, maintains two important Canadian branches, one at Busby lane, Montreal, the other on Mercer street, Toronto, and control a goodly percentage of the polished plate and window glass trade throughout the Dominion.A strong feature of the large business of this firm comes from the demand for their \u2018 Patent Prismatic Rolled Glass,\u2019 which is built on a scientific principle to reflect the greatest number of light rays possible.With the use of this glass, darkened cellars, corners and passage ways are almost entirely obviated.The value of property is much enhanced; it is a safeguard against fire arising from the use of artificial light, as well as the expense, inconvenience and dirt due to the same cause.It is economical, of_ good appearance, stronger than the ordinary glass, and can be applied by any glazier.As space and rents count for so much in our modern cities, no architect or landlord can afford to overlook the advantages of this new departure in perfect lighting.Another improved material for building construction is their * Wired Rolled Glass,\u201d which has come into much general use during the past four years.Its advantages arise from its great strength and ability to withstand heat or pressure.The insurance companies allow a rebate in premiums on buildings where it is used.It may crack into a thousand pieces,yet still retain its form and imper- viousness to heat and water.It is burglar proof as well, and as an accident preventer, when placed in sky lights it is invaluable.Fully descriptive matter on all fmprov- ed lighting conditions may be obtained by addressing this firm at either the Montreal or Toronto house.J.BENJAMIN DAGENAIS.Mr.J.Benjamin Dagenais is a contractor and builder.While extensively engaged in general building operations, Mr.agenais pays special attention to embossed steel ceilings and interior wall coverings of stamped metal.He has also executed many important contracts in exterior wall and roof coverings with stamped metal siding and shingles, corrugated steel, etc.Mr.Dagenais is agent for the best Canadian manufacturers of metal roofing, ceilings and sidings, and also represents the Penn Metal Ceiling & Roofing Company of Philadelphia, one of the largest manufacturers of these goods in the United States.Among the samples of interior wall and ceiling work done by Mr.Dagenais and that have been greatly admired,are churches at St.Lazare, Que., and Bathurst, N.B.; rooms in the French Methodist Institute, Greene avenue, Westmount; the offices of the Canada Engraving and Lithographing Company, Messrs.Alex.Nelson & Company\u2019s fur store, Mr.William Patterson\u2019s tailor shop, and many other public offices and business establishments in Montreal.The power house and the convent at St.Laurent, the barns of Mr.C.Campbell, at Dorval, and many other examples of exterior covering, are giving entire satisfaction and may be inspected at any time.Mr.Dagenais always carries a large stock of eave troughing and conductor pipe for all kinds of buildings and residences.Mr.Dagenais commenced business_in 1882 in St.James street, Montreal.His present office is at 210 Guy street.He has had a very successful business career and every season finds him busier than the previous one.In the actual building season he usually employs about one hundred men.F.HYDE & COMPANY.The firm of F.Hyde & Company was established ten years ago.Mr.Peter Lyall is the proprietor, and Mr.T.O.Lyall, the manager of the business.Their offices are at No.31 Wellington street.The firm are dealers in builders\u2019 and contractors\u2019 supplies, including plain, pressed, enamelled and fire brick, of Scotch, English and United States makes and for all purposes.They are agents for the Canadian Drain Pipe Company, of St.Johns, Que.They also handle all good English, German and Belgian brands of Portland cement, and are now introducing the \u2018Invincible\u2019 brand of Canadian Portland cement, which is rapidly taking the place of imported cements and giving excellent satisfaction.This firm have executed some large sewage and cement contracts.They have supplied the City of Montreal with large orders of sewage pipe, etc., and have also contracted for large quantities of piping for Berlin, Ont., Winnipeg, Man., Toronto Junction, Ont., Truro, and Halifax, N.8., Sydney, C.B.and other places.Among the cement contracts filled by this firm may.be mentioned the supplies for the Soulanges and Lachine canals, and works carried out by the Dominion Iron & Steel Company, the Nova Scotia Steel Company, the C.P.R., the Shawinigan Falls Pulp Works, and many others.Mr.JOHN MURPHY.Mr.John Murphy, the well-known artistic painter and decorator, of 2236 St.Catherine street, Montreal, commenced business in this city in 1862, coming from Toronto, where he had received a first-class business and professional training.Mr.Murphy carries a full line of artists\u2019 materials, and is a large importer of high-class wall papers.His long experience as a house decorator and practical artist in water colors, ete., renders him capable of giving most gard to the use of paints and the choice of colors and decorations.Mr.Murphy has decorated some of the finest mansions and public buildings and offices in Montreal.The constant increase in dence that he has the confidence of the public, and that the quality of the work he does is appreciated by lovers of art in the home.Mr.Murphy employs a large staff of skilled workmen, and his .tained 900,000.bricks.valuable advice and suggestions in re- | iy fired, containe ;

LAPRAIRIE PRESSED BRICK COMPANY.At a period in the history of this city when more elaborate buildings are being erected, attention must be called to the famous brick manufactured by this company, and which is used in every building of any size by up-to-date architects the contractors; indeed, no specification is complete in which this brick is not included.It has stood the test now for some time, and fully justifies all that is claimed for it.Frost and rain do not make it scale, and buildings are rendered warmer by its use.here is a character about this article that adds to the appearance and solidity of a building.To enumerate all the buildings in which this brick has been used would fill a column, but attention may be drawn to the new Bank of Montreal Annex, the Liverpool & London & Globe Insurance Company\u2019s Building and the Guardian Insurance Building, all on St.James street, in this city, and now in course of erection.The Laprairie shale bricks are being used by the Grand Trunk Railway Company, the Montreal Street Railway Company, the Canada Sugar Refining Company, Peck & Benny Company, the J.C.Wilson Company, and a great number of our leading concerns, which fact speaks volumes for the article.The works are situated at Laprairie, Que., and employ about one hundred men, and when we say that the following gentlemen are at the head of affairs, it is a guarantee of the business like way in which the affairs of the company are conducted : Mr.A.A.Ayer, president; Mr.Peter Lyall, vice-president; Mr.F.Westbrook, secretary-treasurer, and Mr.J.W.Tester, managing director, whose office is in the Mechanics\u2019 Institute Building, St.James street, Montreal.MR.GEORGE ROBERTS.The late Mr.George Roberts, carpenter and joiner, commenced business in Montreal, at 597 Lagauchetiere street, in 1856.Mr.Roberts was a good workman, a shrewd, far-seeing business man and a man of sterling integrity and nobility of character.On these qualities: he founded his business.Mr.Roberts brought up his three sons, Messrs.E.M., G.N.and J.J.Roberts, in the business which he founded, and they have adopted his principles in the management of the business.These three gentlemen are the present members of the firm.Their business is more in the.line of high- class joinery or.interior finishing of residences and offices than rough carpentry work.They use immense quantities of mahogany, quartered oak, white wood and cherry in the manufacture of mantels, staircases, dadoes, ornamental floors, panel ceilings and permanent furniture in residences, public buildings, offices and stores.Among the contracts this firm have executed may be mentioned the interior woodwork of \u2018Ravenscrag,\u2019 the Redpath Museum, the McGill library, and physics building and part of the medical building and a large number of private residences on Sherbrooke street, Drum- mond street, etc.The Nordheimer building, the Molson\u2019s Bank, the Standard Insurance building, etc., are among the numerous large contracts taken by this firm and finished in a manner to command admiration.This firm does very little advertising, the quality of their work being a sufficient recommendation to keep them before the public and bring them all the business they can attend to.At the present time they employ over one hundred hands.Their planing mill is equipped with the best, up-to-date machinery and their dry kilns are the best that experience can devise.They always aim to put the best material and workmanship into their jobs and the result is their work stands and gives lasting satisfaction.PLASBESTER.Plasbester is a new word, representing a new composition, but, nevertheless a commodity that has many valuable uses.Plasbester is manufactured by Mr.James Cunningham, .of 360 Craig street, Montreal.The word was \u2018 coined\u2019 to represent \u2018asbestos plaster,\u201d and of all the varied uses to which asbestos has been applied of late years, it ie doubtful if any can compare in point ot practical utility with plasbester.Plasbester renders the walls of a house at once fireproof and sound proof, and a wall of this material will be à nonconductor of both cold and heat.Walls of this material are also impervious to dampness, and the overflow of water through plumbing accidents does not cause walls and ceilings constructed of plasbester to crack, scale, loosen and fall, but plasbester walls remain intact and practically unharmed.No one who understands the advantages of having the walls of their houses constructed of plasbester would ever consent to have them made of mere lime and sand when the cost of the better material is no more than that of the old fashioned kind of plaster.Plasbester is not only the best wall plaster, but it is also the best asbestos plaster.Its indestructibility by fire and its cohesiveness are two of its strong points, while the demand for dead walls in the \u2018flat\u2019 system ot house building, so much in vogue to-day, makes it indispensable if comfort is considered.- One of the most attractive arches which adorned the streets of Montrea: during the recent visit of Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess oi Cornwall and York, was constructed oi Plasbester\u2019 on a framework of light wood.W.MeNALLY & COMPANY.The firm of William McNally & Company, importers and dealers in contractors\u2019 and builders\u2019 supplies, was established in 1876 by Mr.,William McNally, the present head of the firm, associated with his brother, Mr.George McNally, who has been continuously with the firm since its organization.This firm have occupied their own premises at 50-52 McGill street, at the corner of Wellington street, with yards adjacent, facing on McGill, Wellington, Grep Nun and Youville streets, for over twenty years.This area covers over forty thousand square feet of ground, besides which they are obliged to store large quantities of material in outside warehouses.The principal lines carried by this company include Portland cements from Germany, Belgium, England and the United States; sewer pipes and connections of all sizes; chimney linings, five brick, fire clay, plaster of Paris, hard wall plaster, contractors\u2019 derricks, navvy wheel-barrows, steel road scrapers, chimney tops, agricultural drainage tiles, and a number of other articles required by manufacturers and gaswork plants.sue territory covered by this company extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and they do considerable business with firms in the United States as well.They have several travelers on the road, cm- ploy a large number of hands, and from twenty to twenty-five teams constantly during the building season.A large proportion of the goods they handle are imported, several lines not being manu: factured in Canada.THE LATE MR.ROBT.FORSYTH, founder of THE FORSYTH GRANITE AND MARBLE COMPANY (LIMITED.)

blocks\u2014in fact, anything m the stone and marble lines can be supplied by the Forsyth Granite and Marble ompany whose offices are at 546 to 570 William street, Montreal.The company\u2019s works were established by the late Mr.Robert Forsyth, at the St.Gabriel locks, in 1864, and are still located there.\u2018The present officers of the company are Mr.P.K.Brown, president; Mr.John Duthie, vice-president and managing director; Mr.Samuel Finley and Miss J.Forsyth, directors.This is the only firm in Montreal which saws out and finishes marble from the rough block.The important marble contracts executed by this company include the following :\u2014The New York Life building, the Canada Life building, the Sun Life, in Montreal (part); the Sun Life, at Ottawa, Hamilton and Sherbrooke $# the Bell Telephone building, the London & Lancashire, the Royal Insurance Company\u2019s building, the Merchants\u2019 Bank building, the C.P.R.Telegraph building and the Grand Trunk Railwa}y offices; while they now have in hand the Bank of Montreal and the Liverpool & London & Globe\u2019s .new buildings, It was Mr.Forsyth who introduced granolithic pavements in Montreal, and sidewalks laid by him ten or fifteen years ago, are still in first class condition.The best guarantee of the excellent character of the work\u2019 turned out by this company is the fact that they have testimonials from some of the best architects in Canada and the United States.These arq@embodied in a neat illustrated pamphiet which can be had on application.The annual output of this company reaches the sum of $50,000.They import ten thousand dollars\u2019 worth of marble, slate, granite, ete., per annum and give constant employment to sixty skilled mechanics.The business has increased 75 percent in the last four years.Ontario and Quebec provinces take all the material finished by this company.JOHN WATSON & SON.The architectural iron works of John Watson & Son, located at 63 and 65 Dalhousie street, Montreal, are fast gaining in popularity and good esteem with the business and building public.The principal products of these works are elevator enclosures and cars, iron stairs of every description, railings for offices and banks in brass and iron, prismatic lights of all kinds, fire escapes for asylums, hotels and factories, window guards, iron window sashes, columns and iron castings of all kinds, appliances for skylights, etc.The business was established in 1891.Mr.John Watson, senior, was with HR.Ives & Co.for twenty years, and was also superintendent of the Chanteloup Manufacturing Company and the Malleable Iron Works.John Watson, junior, has had a general experience in Montreal, and with the best firms in New York.Among the buildings that have been fitted out by

Canada's far-famed forests asset.a valuable national #X # AND # XF Estimated area of Wood- a Billion lands nearly Acres.Timber ~N\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 J The farm, the forest and the mine are the three principal sources of wealth in this country, and it might be possible | to prove that our forests are the most ; valuable of the three.The forest area of the Dominion, which has been estimated at about eight hundred millions, of acres, represents assets in timber beyond even approximate computation.Millions of dollars\u2019 worth of lumber and timber, not to speak of firewood, have been taken out of our forests, and still there remains a practically unlimited supply.It is true that in the parts of the country longest settled the forest has had to make way for the wheat field.It is equally true that to-day large towns and cities occupy sites that were a comparatively short time ago farm lands; but still.there is plenty of country around the cities, and so there is yet plenty of woods for ages to come.Owners of large timber limits tell us that the areas from which they are cutting millions of feet of timber every year are not thinning appreciably, for, as they take out the larger trees, those of smaller growth take their places, and as they go over the ground and return after a few years, they find a new crop of wood fully equal in quantity and value to that previously taken away.Only those parts of the country which are needed for farming are kept bare, and even here a sufficient wooded area is left for domestic use, besides shade and ornamental The common use of coal for fuel in nearly all the towns and cities of Canada is another reason why our forests will continue for an indefinite, perhaps rather interminable, period.; Montreal is the headquarters of a number of large lumber merchants and firms, some of whom deal principally in woods used in the building trade, and others who export large quantities to Europe, the United States and other foreign parts.] imber trade, and one which has grownjat a rapid rate wood The same, now give employment ts 1hou- sands of men, and represent millions of dollars in wages and revenue to cur workmen and our capitalists.Tt is acknowledged that Canadian spruce has no equal for pulp manufacture, and our limitless forests are the envy of our competitors in the pulp and paper markets of the world.The business of lumber exportation from this.country is now | about a century old, and it has had a continuous history of prosperity and expansion.The United States now takes about fifteen million dollars\u2019 worth of Canadian lumber annually, her own forests having become, at least in certain lines of timber, exhausted.In the early years of the timber export business, most of the sMpments consisted of square timber.At the present time the demand is for sawn and dressed lumber, and in many lines if is \u201cound to be profitable both to the British buyer and the Capadian manufacturer, to have articles made here and sent across the ocean, either finished or in the rough, to be simply put together and polished and painted on the other side.\u2018This saves the freight on chips, sawdust and other waste material, besides giving employment to our men and machines.Quebec province leads in the value of timber exported from Canada, Ontario being a close second, the pois of Montreal and Quebec being the principal shipping, points.But the! pulp industry, ch has had a phenomenal growth during the last ten or fif*cen years, bids fair coon to take first | piace in importance and value among our forest products.In the lumber business, as in every other industry, time, experience, machinery and competition have caused new methods to be adopted in the conduct of affairs in recent years.Less than | two generations ago the common.axe and broad axe were almost the only tools used in the forest.Then the cross-cut saw and the adze were introduced for _ squaring the timber.Next, the trees ;were cut down, and floated in rafts to \u201cthe big mills in or near large cities which re b In the \u201c first case, there was a great loss of good wood \u2018in chips.In the second case, \u2018much that was inferior in quality came to the mills, and was disposed of unprofitably.At present the trees are cut down and squared at the mills on the limits.What is taken off in this process is cut into useful sizes and sorted, and the refuse used for firewood.The good dimension timber is floated on the streams and rivers; for example, from the limits to Ottawa, and thence to various points, as Montreal, by the Upper Ottawa Improvement Company.This organization is a mutual association of lumbermen, and each proprietor or dealer is charged up with the bare cost of such transportation, which amounts 40 a mere trifle, on the value of the lumber or timber floated down.DOBELL, BECKETT & COMPANY.The firm of Dobell, Beckett & Company was established in Quebec, about orty years ago, by the late Hon.Richard R.Dobell, under the style of R.R.Dobell & Company, and has since been doing a.very large export business in timber and lumber of all descriptions.For a number of years past they have been the largest shippers from St.Lawrence ports to foreign ports.The present partners are Messrs.W.M.Dobell, L.Evans, Thos.Stevenson and R.M.Beckett.The head office is in Quebec, where Messrs.W.M.Dobell and L.L.Evans reside.A house in London, England, wag established some twenty years ago under the name of Richard R.Dobell & Company.Mr.T.Stevenson is the resident partner there, and it is through that office that most of the European sales are made.; The firm have a branch office in Montreal under the management of Mr.N.Christensen, and in tawa, where Mr.R.N.Beckett resides.They have also an office in Three Rivers, Que.The chief business is with the United gdom, and the firm is represented by agents in all the principal districts throughout England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales.They also do an extensive trade on the Continent of Europe.For some years they have had the best share of the lumber trade of Canada with South Africa and Australia.The late Mr.Dobell made every possible effort to promote business between Canada and the southern colonies, and was very successful in laying the foundations of what is likely to be a very extensive business in Canadian lumber.More than one-third of the company\u2019s shipments is loaded at Montreal and the balance chiefly at Quebec, Three Rivers and Pierreville, The annual output of this firm is estimated at 200,000,000 feet.THE TOURVILLE LUMBER MILLS COMPANY (LIMITED).The Tourville Lumber Mills Company is a limited joint stock company, having its head offices in room 25 Imperial building, St.James street, Montreal, and its mills at Louiseville and Pierre.ville Mills, Que.The business was established in 1880 by the late Hon.Louis Fourrille and Mr.Joel Leduc.In 1889 1t became incorporated with a capital of $250,000 and the Hon.Mr.Tourville, as president.Upon his death in 1896, Mr.R.Tourville became president of the company; Mr.N.Gill, vice-president; Mr.Ed.Ouellette, manager, and Mr.Arthur Tourville, sec®tary-treasurer.Lumber, pulp wood and hemlock bark are the principal commodities which the firm deal in.They hold four hundred square miles of government timber limits on the north shore of the Riviere du Loup, and own 50,000 acres of timber land on the south shore.Pine, red pine, spruce and balsam are the principal woods found on the north shore, and pine, spruce, hemlock and birch are the most common on the south shore.The company have their own wharf- age accommodation at Louiseville, on the north shore, and Pierreville Mills, on the south, as well as their own steamers and barges for conveying the timber.from the wharf to the ocean ; liners, which load at the Pierreville anchorage.\u2018Their annual output of lumber is estimated at twenty-five to thirty million feet, of which about sixty percent is exported to England.The greater part of their output is contracted for and shipped by Messrs.Dobell, Beckett & Co., with whom they have been doing business for the last fifteen years.Their business with England amounts to about $150,000 per an- num.They employ over eight hundred men, mostly French Canadians, and at the mills about four hundred and fifty.Their Louiseville mill has a daily capacity of two hundred thousand feet, day of ten hours, and is one of the most modern in its construction.The Pierre- ville mill was built in 1865.The company last winter added a steam feed circular saw, and worked-night and day all summer.The mill is lighted by electricity.WM.HOOD & SON.The firm of Wm.Hood & Son was formed nearly twenty years ago, when the late Mr.Wm.Hood admitted his son, Mr.R.George Hood, into the business.Since Mr.Wm.Hood\u2019s accidental death in 1901 in the firm\u2019s New Brunswick quarries, the business has been conducted by Mr.R.George Hood under the old firm name.In the early years carpentry and Joinery was their chief work.Many of the C.P.R.stations and structures were built by them.Bridge building as always been an important feature of their business, and their work in this line may be found in all parts of the country.In recent years their work has drifted more into the line of general contracting, as, for example, the main offices and general store building at Grand Mere for the Laurentide Puip Co., their contract including all branches sf the work.In the construction of Henry Morgan & Co.\u2019s Colonial House the necessity for a rapid pile driving plant forced them to introduce what is known as the steam hammer pile driver.Since then they have made pile driving a specialty, and have carried out some large pile-driving contracts throughout the Dominion\u2014 among them the Montreal High School, French Normal School, Deaf and Dumb Institute, Church of St.Louis de France, Shawinigan Falls Power Co., a large elevator at Fort William and other important contracts.At Indiantown, N.B., the firm has an extensive sandstone quarry, from which they are shipping a building stone of light, buff, olive shade, easily dressed, and very durable in our climate, and which retains its fresh and clean appearance to a marked degree.They also manufacture pulp grinding stones, which have been found equal, and in many cases superior, to the imported article.The magnitude of the pulp business renders this an important industry, and opens the way for the development of the great pulp and paper interests of the Dominion.MESSRS.J.& B.GRIER.About fifty years ago Messrs.John and Brockwill Grier formed a partnership, and commenced business in Montreal as lumber and timber merchants and manufacturers of sawzd lumber aud dimension timber.Their city mill is situated on the Lachine Canal, and *heir offices at 2642 Notre Dame street.They own and operate extensive timber limits in the Keppawa district on the Ottawa river, covering about seventy square miles.They own a mill at Aylwin, on the Gatineau, and a mill at Como also saws exclusively for this firm.In addition to a large local trade, this firm ship large consignments to the maritime provinces and the United States.The bulk of their domestic trade is in june, spruce and hemlock.They do a large business in Southern pine and British Columbia fir.At their city mills they manufacture laths and shingles.They also import red cedar shingles from British Columbia.A few years ago they brought a cargo of lumber by boas from Vancouver to Montreal via Cape Horn, which was done more cheaply than it the shipment had come by the direct overland route.The firm bave branch yards at St.Anne de Bellevue ard Nt.Laurent.The business is steadily growing in all departments, a very marked increase being noticeable during the past four or five years.Their annual output is now about fifteen million feet.T.PREFONTAINE & COMPANY (LIMITED).In noting the firms engaged in the lumber trade in Montreal that make up the bulk of the great business centered here, there is the well-known firm of T.Prefontaine & Company (Limited), which has been in successful operation for many years, and is a most important factor in the lumber interests in this city, and enjoys a good name and trade in the wholesale and retail features of the business._, .Their spacious yards, containing a railway siding, are situated on both sides of the Lachine Canal, and afford them splendid facilities for handling their lumber, especially for exportation.The offices o Prefontaine & Company (Limited) are located at the corner of Napoleon and Tracy streets, Ste.Cunegonde.They have a kiln and planing mill in connection with their yards, and make a specialty of birch and maple flooring, hollow back, end butted and bored.They carry a large assortment of white wood, oak, basswood, pine spruce, hemlock, lath and shingles, and, in fact, all grades and kinds of material in the lumber line are to be found in their stock.WILLIAMSON & MORRISON.In 1899 Messrs.William Williamson and Duncan Morrison formed a partnership for the purpose of carrying on a wholesale Jumber and timber business.Both partners had been engaged in the lumber business for a number of years and had acquired a thorough knowledge of.the conditions and requirements of the trade as well as a wide acquaintance and valuable connection with mill owners and foreign buyers.The amalgamation of their interests made them a strong firm and their annual shipments amount to many thousands of dollars.They hold very extensive timber limits and own large areas of patented lands in the Upper Ottawa and Rouge River districts.They have mills at L\u2019Orignal, Ont., and St.Jovite, Que.They aiso buy extensively from other mills.Mr.Williamson is the president and Mr.Morrison, the vice-president of the Lau- rentian Lumber Company, with mills on the Montfort & Gatineau Colonization Railway, which was recently acquired by the Great Northern Railway Company.Messrs.Williamson & Morrison handle the entire output of these mills, consisting of dimension timber, rough and dressed lumber, lath, shingles, and hard wood flooring, the latter being a specialty with this company.The firm export large quantities of lumber to the United States, and also sell large consignments to Messrs.Dobell, Beckett & Company, for the foreign trade.Messrs.Williamson & Morrison have their offices at present at No.30 St.John street, but have taken offices in the new Board of Trade Building, which they will occupy when that structure js completed.Mr.Morrison lives at Vankleek Hill, Ont,, while Mr.Williamson lives in Montreal in the winter, and has his summer residence at Point Fortune on the Ottawa River.E.J.MAXWELL & CO.The lumber business conducted under the firm name of E.J.Maxwell & Company was established by Mr.E.J.Maxwell in 1863 at No.725, Craig street, Montreal, the premises still occupied by him.Mr.Maxwell makes a specialty of fine imported hard woods for veneers.interior house and office furrishings, furniture, organs, pianos, patterns, and fall cabinet makers\u2019 purposes.These woods include mahogany, English oak, walnut, mountain ash, magnolia, African, Circassian and other foreign specimens.A car of these kinds of wood will cost from $500 or $1,000 upwards, and, while Mr.Maxwell\u2019s yards are not the largest in or around Montreal, he has one of the most valuable stocks and does business with the best class of cus- 19) PACKING BOXESACASES.\u201885 1035 ATWATER Ave\u201d ALS0 (ORNER SI ELIZABI THE WILLIAM RUTHERFORD & SONS COMPANY, (LIMITED! In the year 1852 Mr.William Rutherford came to Canada from Jedburgh, Roxburghshire, Scotland.In about six years he was in business for himself as a contractor, and in 1865 commenced the lumber business.From that time to the present the business has prospered and developed until to-day, under the firm name of William Rutherford & Sons Company, it is one of the largest concerns of its kind in Montreal.Mr.Rutherford\u2019s four sons are associated with him in the business.Mr.Thos.J.Rutherford being the vice-president, and Mr.William Rutherford, jr., the secre- tary-treasurer of the company, while the other two are directors and hold important positions.The company have two large factories, one for the manufacture of fine interior house furnishings and the other for the manufacture of various kinds of packing boxes.Both are equipped with the most modern machinery for the work to be turned out.For many years the company manufactured both house furnishings and boxes in the factory on At- water avenue, near the corner of Notre Dame street, but they recently built a large new box;factory on the canal bank, at the foot of Elizabeth street, St.Henri, \u2018which enabled: them to double their capacity.They were previously making avery large number of butter boxes and turning over about 10,000,000 feet of lumber per annum, the business having doubled in the last five years.They employ over two hundred hands.The company make and sell all kinds of contractors\u2019 supplies, in wood, but do no contracting themselves.They import large quantities of hardwoods, which they make up into mantels, staircases, house finishings, flooring, ceiling, panel work,.counters, etc.The soft woods used in the manufacture of doors, window sashes, boxes, etc., and for carpenters\u2019 use are purchased in large quantities from Canadian mills.MR.E.H.LEMAY.About fifteen years ago Mr.E.H.Le- may was a clerk in one of the large manufacturing concerns of this country.Today he is considered the largest individual lumber merchant in Canada.The time came when he had mastered the details of the lumber industry and, looking forward, he saw good prospects for success if he were to launch out in business for himself.From a humble beginning the business, under his management, has reached the enormous yearly shipment of 100,000.000 feet of lumber.Mr.Lemay buys the entire output.of several large mills, and ships their product to all the principal markets of the world.Besides this large export trade, Mr.Lemay imports from 25,000,000 to 30,000,000 feet of pitch pine from the Southern States every year.This year he inaugurated a new system, and brought to the port of Montreal three large vessels loaded with pitch pine from the United States.Mr Lemay has a branch office in New York City, Messrs.W.M.Crombie & Company, of 81 New street, New York, being his representative in that city.He is also about to establish a connection with South Africa, now that we have a direct steamship line from Canada to that country.Mr.Lemay is one of the best known business men in Montreal, and an influential member of the Board of Harbor Commissioners, on which he represents the lumber interests.THE DIAMOND GLASS COMPANY, (LIMITED).The North American Glass Works, at 179 Delorimier avenue, Montreal, owned by the Diamond Glass Company (Limited), is one of the most prosperous concerns in the city.It is an interesting hive of industry, employing about one thousand hands.The business was established in 1880 by Messrs.William and David Yuile, of Montreal, The present management consists of Mr.A.Lumsden, Ottawa, president; Mr.David Williamson, Montreal, secretary-treasurer; direc- | tors, Mr.William Yuile, Montreal, Mr.G.H.Perley, Ottawa, Mr.Geo.Rutherford, Hamilton, and Mr.John Watt, Toronto.The company have a branch in Toronto which looks after the Ontario business.Their goods which consist of bottles, fruit-jars, lamps, chimneys, insulators, and pressed table ware of all kinds, are sold in all parts of Canada, and for quality and wear, give universal satisfaction.This fact, together with their uniform fair treatment of customers, is accountable for the rapid and continuous increase of patronage which the company enjoy.The general prosperity of the country, and, consequently, of the company enables them to pay about twenty- five percent higher wages than were paid a few years ago.All nationalities are employed, regardless of race or other qualification, except skill and respectabil- itv.! { tomers in Montreal.Trade in this line this year has been unusually good owing to the good times, and numerous contracts for the erection of palatial residences in the vicinity of the commercial metropolis.Mr.Maxwell himself does no contracting or building, confining himself to the retail trade, with occasionally a car order for a large builder.Mr.Maxwell\u2019s father was a well-known builder and cabinetmaker, and Mr.Maxwell has the advantage of a thorough knowledge of timber and lumber of all kinds, which enables him to judge the quality of the commodity he handles and give his customers the best value for their money.In the early days of the lumber business in Montreal dealers had to get enough stock in during the period of navigation to last the balance of the year.Everything came by sailing vessel, and it sometimes took six months for an order of foreign timber to be delivered.There were sometimes \u2018corners\u2019 in lumber in those days, and such a situation could not be relieved until navigation opened again and fresh supplies arrived.In these days of rapid ocean and railway transportation most orders can be filled at a few days\u2019 notice.E.F.DARTNELL, MANUFACTUR-, ERS\u2019 AGENT.Mr.E.F.Dartnell, No.180 St.James street, does a very extensive business with the building trade, as agent for a large number of inventions and commodities, useful or necessary, to that trade.He commenced business at his present address in 1893.Among the builders\u2019 supplies for which he is agent are Cana, dian, American, English and Scotch sandstones; Bedford end other lime- stones, pressed brick, ornamental terra cotta, wire and expanded metal lathing, ete, Mr.Dartnell represents in Eastern Canada, the Grafton Stone Company, of Grafton and Elyria, Ohio, who are extensive producers of buff and blue Ohio sandstone.He is also agent for the Perry-Matthews-Buskirk Stone Company, producers of the celebrated \u201c\u2018P.M.& B\u2019 Bedford (Indiana) limestone.He is sole Canadian agent for the \u2018 Portable Gravity Concrete Mixer,\u2019 and the \u2018 Rotary Hand Power Concrete Mixer,\u2019 a mixer specially adapted for street work, where but a moderate output 8 required, and for the \u2018Gilbreth Accurate Measurer and Feeder, a machine for supplying stone, sand, cement and water in absolutely correct proportions to concrete mixing machines.He represents the \u2018 Toronto Pressed Brick & Terra Cotta Works,\u201d of Milton, Ont., and the \u2018Crown Pressed Brick Company,\u201d of Ormstown, Que., makers of fine pressed and common building bricks.He also represents the \u2018R.I.W.Damp-resist- ing Paint Company,\u2019 of New York, whose paint is now used so extensively, where protection from moisture is wanted, on ironwork, stonework, woodwork, floors, sheet iron roofs, hulls and decks of steel and wooden vessels, brine pipes in_refrigerator plants, etc.Mr.Dartnell is the sole Canadian agent for the Cary Manufacturing Company, of New York, manufacturers of box strappings, box corners, and fasteners, pail clasps, crate hinges, protective seals, and various other shippers\u2019 specialties and carries a considerable stock of these goods.JOHN P.O'SHEA & CO.Six years ago, the firm of John P.O'Shea & Company was established for the manufacture of ornamental glass, mirrors, fancy door lights, ground, drilled, bevelled, chipped, wheel cut and sand cut glass, etc.Their place of business, at the corner of Craig and St.Gabriel streets, has, since then, become well known, and samples of the firm\u2019s artistic work may be seen to-day in hundreds of homes in Montreal.How many times have admiring remarks been passed concerning the cut and ornamental glass doors in banks, insurance offices and city mansions, manufactured by this firm.The office and branches of the Hochelaga Bank afford examples of Mr.O\u2019Shea\u2019s elegant work, and reveal his taste and skill in designing.These examples, however, are only a few of many contracts which have made for Mr.O\u2019Shea an enviable reputation, The growth of the business has been such that the workshop and offices at present occupied by the firm, have become entirely inadequate for their requirements, and negotiations are in progress with a view to securing more suitable premises.These improvements, added to expert skill, modern methods and the most improved machinery will give Messrs.O'Shea & Company unsurpassed facilities for turning out larger quantities of work, and that, of even ner quality than heretofore.Mr.J.P.O'Shea, who is the sole proprietor of the business, is a practical glass worker.Not content with a thorou 5 technical knowledge of the business, he takes an annual trip to the United States for the purpose of securing the latest ideas and newest desiens in his art for the benefit of his numerous customers.Messrs.O'Shea & Company show beautiful pieces of crystalline work, bent glass work, cut glass table ware, art mirrors, etc.They also import large quantities of sheet and plate glass from ngland and Belgium, which enables them to meet any demand in glass and mirrors, at best market prices.THE GRANT-HAMILTON OIL COMPANY (LIMITED).Pennsylvania crude oil has the reputation of being the best in the world.It differs from Canadian petroleum in that it possesses less mineral properties which are detrimental to purposes of lubrication.The Grant-Hamilton Oil Company (Limited), are large manufacturers of lubricating oils which are produced exclusively from the finest Pennsylvania crude oil.This company was established in Toronto, in 1897, with Mr.William Irwin as president; Mr.James Playfair, vice-president, and Mr.T.H.Hamilton, general manager, with head | offices at 2 to 12 Strachan avenue.Nearly two years age the company opened an office at No.77 Common street, Montreal, with Mr.J.D.Johnston as local manager.The company\u2019s refinery is at Marietta, Ohio.They are manufacturers.of the celebrated © Sterling\u2019 brand of lubricating oil.They re-

their paint factory at 18 to 22 Inspector street, and their varnish factory at 16 William street.One hundred hands are now employed steadily in their works, including principally, English and French.Ramsay\u2019s exterior White Lead has es tablished an enviable reputation among painters that will be hard to excel or discount.It is said to be superior to the grade known as \u2018 pure\u2019 lead.Itis cheaper, works easier, lasts longer and keeps its color better than other leads.and every package bears the company's guarantee.Their.paints are brilliant and durable, made from the purest pic ments, scientifically combined, and the materials are consequently not easily ai- fected by sun or storm.Their Viens Green, for window shutters, is just the right shade and does not fade as many greens do.Their other colors are equally reliable, but Vienna Green is their trade mark.Tt is one of their greatest sellers, being made in three shades: light, for ornaments, boats and anything requiring a light fresh tint; medium for window blinds.cottages, ete, and deep green for doors, trim mings and places where the color is wanted to last.It will stand the test and is only an example of all their goods.When you buy Ramsay's paints you are not experimenting with untried goods, but getting the tested, tried and warranted article.n- Consolidated Plate etta, using only the products of

supplies the bulk of that commodity to the lake and river trade._ The company also manufacture ster: ling elastic graphite paint which is used extensively for roofing.It is fireproof and weather-proof, and, being elastic, is not affected by climatic changes.The shareholders of the company are all consumers; of oil, and largely engaged in manufacturing enterprises.The con- pany\u2019s business has increased very rap: idly during the past two years, and.for a young concern, they are doing a very satisfactory proportion of the old trade ! of this country.On account of the gener- i al prosperity and the constantly increas i ing manufacturing industries being estah- | lished in the Dominion, they anticipate?a still greater demand for their goods in | the future.BULMER, McLENNAN &

While other lines of trade and com- Gmerce have been expanding and chang- \"ug with the times.the grocery business has not been standing still.The leading grocers of Montreal to-day can give very interesting accounts of the differ- «nee between the way they do business now and the methods in vogue when they began to deal out sugar and tea.In the early days there were no telephones.The telephone and the modern delivery system have greatly increased both the amount of business and labor connected with this branch of trade, and the number and variety of articles now to be found in an up-to-date grocery store is about as complex and perplexing as in any line that could be named.A man cannot to-day start in the grocery business simply knowing how to deal out sugar, tea, baking powder, soap, butter, eggs and canned goods.Even a first-class business education behind him, without practical experience, will not save him from ruin if he has any kind of competition, such as will be met with in most towns of any \u2018size.Like many other occupations that a few vears ago were easy to manage and profitable under ordinary circumstances, the grocery business has to be learned almost as a science, if one would achieve success and lay by a competency.Montreal, as will be seen by a perusal of the sketches of the various business houses and manufacturing enterprises which follow, is the home of the greatest sugar refineries in British North America.We have the largest importing firms in the Dominion, whose travellers and goods may be found in all parts of this wide Dominion; and we have other manufacturing concerns, which are at the same time the oldest and largest in this country.Our tea importers get the soothing leaf from the growers in various parts of the worid.In respect to cereal foods, Montreal is perhaps behind no other city in Canada in the matters of manufacture, sale or consumption.In the consumption of fruit, which is now a very important part of the grocery business, Montreal may be placed easily in the front rank.The tea department itself might easily be given a column of space if an account of its development were desired.The \" The Dominion is keeping up with the y 777#|_.rest of the world in wholesome foods.Montreal is headquarters for Sugars, Teas, Soaps, Biscuits, * Cereal Foods and Imported Groceries.A A I BA A BAA Be À drama BOVRIL, (LIMITED)._ Bovril, (Limited), has been established in Montreal under its present name for about six years, but has really been in business \u2018here\u2019 for over twenty years, being the successors to the Johnston's Fluid Beef Company, manufacturers of the well known brand of Fluid Beef, bearing the name of its inventor, the late Mr.J.Lawson Johnston.After a great deal of experimenting, Mr.Johnston succeeded in improving his original invention and re-named it \u2018Bovril\u2019 In \u2018Bovril\u2019 he saw that he had the ideal concentrated food, and having disposed of his Canadian interests on very satisfactory terms, he removed to London, England, where the merits of \u201cBovril\u2019 were so well recognized that the present company was formed with a capital of £2,000,000.As the wonderful nutritive and strengthening properties of \u2018 Bovril \u2019 became more widely known, and the demand for it increased proportionately, the company opened branches in all parts of the British Empire.Naturally, the Canadian business was one of the first to be thought of, and the Johnston Fluid Beef Company once more passed into the hands of its original proprietors, and new forms one of the most thriving branches of this large and prosperous company.One whole flat of their fine new factory in Old Street, London, England, is devoted entirely to the manufacture of \u2018 Bovril,\u201d and compressed rations for the British Government.During the South African war thousands of cases of \u2018 Bovril\u2019 were used by the army at the front, its great strengthening properties having been found peculiarly valuable in restoring wounded soldiers, and those suffering from enteric and other fevers.One of the greatest surgeons reporting on the medical arrangements of the cam- |- paign, wrote after the battle of Colenso: \u2018 As each wounded man reached the hospital he was served with a cup of hot \u201c Bovril,\u201d large cans of which were boiling outside the tents.As a further recognition of the wer- its of \u2018 Bovril) the company have lately received notice of their appointment by special warrant as purveyors to His Ma- study of

Montreal in 1870 by Mr.H.Laporte, now Alderman Laporte, the senior partner of the firm.Owing to the rapid and extensive growth of the business it was found desirable in 1887 to increase the strength of the enterprise by the addition of more capital und new members to the firm.The firm was then reorganized with the following partners :\u2014Ald.H.Laporte, Mr.J.B.A.Martin, Mr.J.O.Boucher, Mr.L.A.Delorme, Mr.J.Ethier and Mr.J.A.Martin, under the style of Laporte, Martin & Cie.The company\u2019s spacious warehouse and splendid offices are situated at Nos.70 to 78 St.Peter street, where

in 1834, by the late Mr.Samuel Mathewson, on St.Paul street.Over sixty years ago the present head of the firm built the store and ware- rooms now occupied by them at 202 Mec- Gill street.The present mémbers of the firm are Mr.J.A.Mathewson, Mr.8.J.Mathewson, Mr.W.B.Mathewson and Mr.J.A.Mathewson, jr.This firm was the first in Montreal to import Japan teas into Canada; and fine teas have been among the specialties handled by them ever since.They have recently secured control for Canada of the choice and celebrated \u2018 Quaker\u2019 brand of black and green Ceylon teas, which are cured and packed in Ceylon and shipped direct to their warerooms in Montreal.Messrs.Mathewson & Company also control the \u2018Quaker\u2019 brand of canned goods in all lines of fruits and vegetables for

of standard and reliable quality.BRODIE & HARVIE.- One of the landmarks of Montreal and numbered among the longest established and best known business places in\u2019 the metropolis, is the store of Messrs.Brodie & Harvie, at No 10 Bleury street.The business was started forty years ago, and for the last thirty years has been conducted by the present partners.While doing a general flour business, the firm have always given particular attention to the family trade in flour and cereal products, and \u2018 Brodie\u2019s\u2019 celebrated_\u2018 Self-Raising Flour,\u2019 for cakes.biscuits and pastry, is known over the length and breadth of the country.From the first the firm have made a specialty of what is now called \u2018 Health Foods\u2019 (Graham flour, cracked wheat, ete.), and they were the first to manufacture \u2018whole wheat\u2019 flour, now so much in vogue.They also manufacture \u2018 Brodie\u2019s Self- Raising Buckwheat Flour,\u201d ¢ Self-Raising Griddle-cake Flour,\u201d and make or put up all varieties of breakfast cereals.There are few homes in this province in which some of their products are not regularly used.RE THE MONTREAL CARTER, GALBRAITH & CO.Messrs.Carter, Galbraith & Company are wholesale grocers and tea importers.Messrs.S.J.Carter and William Galbraith are the partners, they having united their interests and experience in the business about fifteen years ago.The premises they occupy are at No.80 St.Peter street, Montreal, and consist of five large flats facing the Board of Trade Building, in the most convenient and central portion of the city.These premises have been occupied as wholesale grocery warehouses and offices for over half a century, the well known firm of Kinlock, Lindsay & Company having formerly carried on business there.Mr.Carter was one of the original members of the firm of Ransom, For es & Company, and, later, of Ward, Carter & Company.Mr, Ward retired ten years ago, since when the business has been carried on under the present style.Both members of the firm have had life long, practical experience in the grocery business, and are thoroughly familiar with all the details of the trade and are prepared to meet all the demands of their patrons.Both gentlemen are members of the Montreal Board of Trade.This firm import goods from nearly every country from which commodities required for the grocery trade are procured.Several years ago the firm adopted the \u2018Encore\u2019 brand as their distinctive trade mark to indicate the highest degree of excellence in their teas, coffees, raisins and other goods.Articles bear: ing this brand may always be depended upon as the best procurable.Their stock includes everything legivimately connected with the grocery business, and they enjoy the patronage ot à very large and respectable clientele.They have a large staff of travellers and ther goods go to all parts of the Dominion.DAILY WITNESS.THE LANG MANUFACTURING COMPANY.Pure food products are of primary importance to the community, and while there is so much that is comparatively worthless in this line, placed on the markets, it is a pleasure to make honorable mention of a house that has built up an immense business on the purity and general excellence of their productions.This is \u2018The Lang Manufacturing Company, of Montreal.Their magnificent factory on Élizabeth street, St.Henry, is a model in every respect.The business was established twenty years ago, and was incorporated in 1886, Mr.H.H.Lang being then, and now, its president, while Mr.James Lang has been secretary-treasurer since 1892.Owing to the immense increase in the business it became necessary, about two years ago, to remove from their old premises, on St.Monique street, to their present factory at St.Henri.This new building has 100,000 feet of floor space, and is equipped with the most modern machinery.The company\u2019s business extends over the entire Dominion.They employ from a hundred and seventy-five to two hundred hands, while no less than twenty travellers cover their sale territory.They \u2018 manufacture every conceivable thing in the line of biscuits and confectionery, their goods being fully illustrated and described in their excellent catalogue, in which the descriptions of the different biscuits they make alone take up many pages.They manufacture all styles of chocolates and other cream goods, caramels, tablets, stick goods, boiled goods, gum, licorice goods, jujubes, lozenges of all kinds, mottoes, mixtures, rock candy.etc.In gross goods they have a very large variety, and all are of the high quality for which the house is noted.That they are appreciated by the trade and by the consumer is shown by the continually increasing demand, and the largely increased business: annually done by this progressive and enterprising company.The St.Lawrence Sugar Refining Company commenced operations \u2018in Montreal in 1879, the first works being situated at the corner of King and Queen streets, and Messrs.A.Baum: garten and Theo.Labatt were the founders.The first- refinery was destroyed by fire in 1887 and the new works were erected in Maisonneuve.between Notre Dame street and the river St.Lawrence.This site.was chosen so that the company might have the advantage of a wharf, directly in front of the refinery, at which the largest ocean steamers can discharge their cargoes of raw sugars right at the company\u2019s warehouse doors.THE ALBERT TOILET SOAP COMPANY.\u2018Baby\u2019s Own Soap\u2019 \u2014 that favorite toilet article\u2014the best of all soaps for the nursery and the ladies\u2019 boudoir, is manufactured by the Albert Toilet Soap Company, 168 McCord street, Montreal.When it was introduced, over twenty years ago, it rapidly won its way, on its\u2019 merits, into every home in the land.Why ?because there was nothing of the kind and quality on the market.There was the need, the demand, and it filled the long felt want.Everybedy who used it recommended it to their neighbors.It was most natural that imitations should appear.Other manufacturers copied the cake in size, color, shape and perfume, but the quality and the name were the exclusive property of the Albert Toilet Soap Company, and \u2018 Baby\u2019s Own Soap\u2019 is still the peerless toilet soap for fair and tender skin, Some time ago the enormous sale of this soap induced retailers to make it a \u2018 leader \u2019 and lower the price to the same figure as the imitations.Then competitors lowered their wholesale prices to dealers, to less than \u2018 Baby\u2019s Own Soap\u2019 could be put on the market for, and retailers took the imitations because there were larger profits on them.In spite of representations to the contrary, customers find that the standard quality of \u2018Baby\u2019s Own Soap\u2019 has been maintained, and storekeepers find that if they do not keep it their customers will go where they can get it.The difference between \u2018Baby\u2019s Own Soap\u2019 and most other scaps is that it is made of vegetable oils, while the others are made from animal fats, commonly called \u2018soap grease\u2019 which cannot pessibly he so good or \u2018healthy.\u2018Master Mechanies\u2019 Extraordinary Tar Soap\u2019 is also made by the Albert Toilet Soap Company, out of vegetable oils.It has wonderful cleansing properties and is good for ladies\u2019 hands.The vresent output of \u2018 Baby\u2019s Own is 54,000 cakes per month, and the total output of all kinds of soaps made by this company averages 144,000 cakes per month.WORKS OF THE ST.LAWR ENCE SUGAR REFINING: COMPANY (LIMITED), MONTREAL.Three hundred thousand \u2018barrels ot | refined sugar, over one-fourth of the | total amount made in Canada each year, is the output of this great factory Three hundred hands find employment here all the year round and they handle about two million dollars\u2019 worth of im- ! ported raw sugars in the course of the twelve months.Dealers in Ontario and | Quebec consume the entire output or this refinery.The purity of their \u2018 granulated > and the excellence of their 1 \u201c yellows\u2019 have won for this company a | reputation to be proud of, and a trade | the extent of which few people have | any idea of.It is a case of merit, with \u2018 sugar, and the St.Lawrence Company\u2019s | COOK\u2019S FRIEND BAKING POWDER.Housekeepers in Canada who have used \u2018 Cock\u2019s Friend\u2019 baking powder are legion; the temptation held out by \u2018cheap\u2019 goods or \u2018presents\u2019 may have induced some to try other makes, but no satisfactory substitute for the \u2018 Cook\u2019s Friend - has yet been discovered.All the materials used in its production are in themselves healthful; are the purest of each kind that money can buy and are scientifically compounded.About forty years ago the proprietor and manufacturer of \u2018 Cook\u2019s Friend\u2019 was in the retail grocery business.The need of a good reliable baking powder was strongly felt in the grocery trade, and in the homes of this country.¢ Cook's Friend > was made and placed on the market and it met the requirement.Housekeepers spread: the good news; they had found what they had long desired\u2014 a \u2018friend > upon whom they could depend.From small beginnings in the store of the proprietor, the sale of these goods increased rapidly, thus attesting to their great merit.It soon became necessary to procure larger premises and increased facilities for their manufacture in order to keep up with the demand.Suitable premises were secured on College street, directly opposite the old Montreal College, which is now the newer and wider part of St.Paul street, to which the latter name has been extended since the removal of the old Montreal College up; town.The home of \u2018 Cook\u2019s Friend\u2019 is now at Nos.583 and 585 St.Paul street.Here the best machinery was installed for the manufacture of \u2018 Cook\u2019s Friend,\u201d thirty years ago, since when the business has grown to large proportions.Mr.W.D.McLaren, the original and present proprietor, by strict adherence to the principles on which the business was.started, has made the \u2018 Cook\u2018s Friend\u2019 a staple article and standard baking powder.Notwithstanding all the competition and imitations it has had to contend with, its popularity is undim- inished.JOHN DUNCAN & COMPANY.The tea house of John Duncan & Company, whose offices and warerooms are at 450 St.Paul street, Montreal, was established in 1866.A record of thirty-six years of successful business has enabled the firm to establish a reputation for good teas and honest dealing that any company might be proud of.The present proprietor of the business is Mr.John Patterson.Mr.Patterson and Mr.William Hutchins were admitted into partnership with the late Mr.John Duncan, the founder of the business, in 1882, when the firm name still ! maintained was adopted.Mr.Duncan\u2019s death in 1892 and the retirement of Mr.Hutchins, in 1896, left Mr.Patterson the sole proprietor of the business.Not only has the old firm name been continued, but the business principles which did much towards establishing the concern on a substantial basis have been strictly adhered to; the excellent qualities of their teas have been maintained, and, in some respects, improved upon, and the same expert knowledge regarding the goods, the markets, the \u2018taste of the customers and the entire interests of the trade has been applied to the business in late years as that which characterized its early history.The firm deals extensively in all the popular flavors of China, Japan, India and Ceylon teas, which come direct from the fields where they are grown and cured.Mr.Patterson knows tea and the tea business.He has taken several trips to the Orient in the interests of the business, and has resided for some months, at different times, in Yokohama, inspecting and superintending the packing of teas purchased for the firm.This is why the firm of John Duncan & Company to-day are favored with such an extensive patronage, and enjoy what they consider the cream of the tea trade in Canada.product has stood the test and held ite place.The St.Lawrence Sugar Refining Company was incorporated in 1879, and the members of the firm are Mr.A Baumgarten, president; Mr.Theo.La- batt, vice-president; Messrs.James Crathern, J.M.Douglas, Robert Hamp: son, and E.A.Reincke, directors.Mr B.McNally is \u2018the secretary-treasurer The general and sales offices are in the Canadian Pacific Railway Telegraph Chambers, corner of St.Francoix-Xa- vier and Hospital streets.Messrs.J Alex, Gordon & Company are the sales agents for the company.17 MR.A.BAUMGARTEN, President of the St.Lawrence Sugar Refining Company (Limited).THE TAMILKANDE TEA COMPANY.18 St.Maurice Street.It was a discerning entomologist more than a half century ago, who, ou being shown a butterfly from India, announced that the tea plant would be found there, the presence of the species denoting the existence of its food.Hence was begun the marvellous production of tea in India and Ceylon, which, at this date, is no longer extraordinary, but commonplace; .so completely has the superior merit of Indian and Ceylon teas won their place over all other teas in the homes of the millions.It was in 1892 that Mr.Silas Huxley, founder of the Tamilkande Teu Company, brought to Canada from England, the first machinery used in putting up their famous blend of Tamilkande tea.Since that time this brand of tea has had an enormous sale and the demand is still constantly increasing in all parts cf the Dominion.In Quebec province the consumption of this tea has increased forty percent in the last three years.Tamilkande tea has also been introduced into Jamaica, the Barbadoes and the United States, where the excellence of its flavor has brought it into great favor \u201cand the demand for this brand is steadily increasing.Approximately the consumption of tea in Canada is four pounds per head, and indications are that this total consumption will eventually be filled by the British grown teas of India and Ceylon\u2014an Imperial sentiment we are not loth to confess.The Tamilkande Tea Company, however, alive to the requirements of a public taste which must be satisfied, meantime, with an accustomed beverage, put un choice blends of China and also Japan teas, which are noted for their excellence.The Tamilkande Tea Company import coffees which rank among the best grades of this popular, but too often de'eterious and unskilfully prepared article.NOW AND THEN.Twenty-five years ago the wholesale grocery trade was supplied by importers.To-day the facilities for regular and rapid transportation and the despatch of orders to foreign parts by cable makes it possible for wholesale men to do a direct and independent business with the producers on the one hand and the retailer on the other.BIRKS, CORNER & COMPANY.Birks, Corner & Co., are wholesale grocers and tea importers, at 39 Place D\u2019Youville, and 2, 4, and 6 St, Francois Xavier streets, Montreal, This enterprising firm, consisting of Messrs.Arthur Birks, and A.J.Corner, founded this business twelve years ago at 18 and 20 St.Sacrament street.From its inception, through all the vicissitudes of the changing conditions of the grocery business, they have made steady and lasting progress.Owing to their expanding business, BIRKS, CORNER & COMPANY'S they were compelled some five years ago , to remove to their present commodious | premises situated at the above address, where they have ample room for carrying on their ever increasing business, | which consists largely of importations of | teas from Japan, China, India and Ceylon; molasses, etc., from the West Indies; dried fruits, from California and ; the Mediterranean ports.| These goods, together with full lines | of groceries of foreign and home produe- | tion, they distribute throughout the provinces of Ontario and Quebec.| OFFICES AND WAREHOUSE.When asked to account for their success, during a period, in the grocery business, when so many firms were compelled to retire, they stated that their determination to handle no goods of inferior quality, their painstaking efforts in executing orders, prompt shipment of all business entrusted to their care, and making prices as low as consistent with à living profit, soon brought its reward by a steadily increasing volume of trade, which enables them to rank, to-day, as one of the leading houses in their line, in Canada.ere 18 THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.WCC CCC CRC-E and \u2018 prompt shipment.\u2019 In addition to the regular grades, they pay

the youngest profession we have, perhaps, and one which, if he has not created, he can claim to have developed more than any other person in this country.Mr.Dawson conducts a commercial stationary, book binding and printing business at 226 St.James street, Montreal.His father and grandfather were in the book business before him, and he grew up in it.= When Mr.Dawson left college he went into the factory and got a thorough technical and practical knowledge of book making and printing.When he took charge of the store he set about studying and supplying the requirements of business men in various lines of trade and manufacture.Now a joint stock company is formed and wants a set of books and office supplies specially suited for their particular business, Mr.Dawson is consulted and \u201cfurnishes the entire outfit for the same price, and, without the worry that would be expended in getting it from dealers who had little or no experience in this line of work.' The Razall Loose Leaf Ledger system is the latest approved book-keeping system.Mr.Dawson is the Canadian ve- presentative of this up-to-date device.It matters not what line of business or how complicated the form required for keeping the most minute accounts, Mr.Dawson can devise, or probably has in Mr.Dawson does an immense mail order business in this line.You can write him about your business or accounting difficulties and have your book-keeping simplified to the last degree.Twenty-five years of experience has made Mr.Dawson an expert in his business and profession, and there is probably not another man in Canada in a position to do what he can for the business men of this country.THE LIVINGSTON LINSEED OIL COMPANY (LIMITED).The Livingston Linseed Oil Company (Limited), was founded at Baden, Ont., by Mr.James Livingston, ex-M.P., in 1864.The Baden Mills have a capacity of 150 barrels per day, besides which the Montreal branch, estublished last year, has a capacity of sixty barrels per day.Consequently this firm is one of the oldest and also one of the largest of its kind in Canada.\u2018Mr.P.Erbach is the manager of the Baden factory and Mr, H.P.Livingston is the manager of the Montreal works, with offices at 31-33 Mill street.Large quantities of the raw material are purchased from growers in Manitoba and the North-West, but the bulk of it has to be imported from the United States, South America and India.Canada does not grow nearly enough flax to supply the demand, and, on the other hand, Canadian cattlemen have not seen it to their interests to feed oilcake to their stock, sufficiently to use more than a small fraction of the output of oilcake made in the Canadian oil factories.Experiments and analyses have proved that there are valuable fat and milk producing properties in oileake, and that the benefits to the soil when it is fed to stock on the farm are very great.; ; In years when the pasturage in this country is good very little oilcake is used, but in years when pastures are bare or short, breeders of good and thoroughbred stock feed considerable quantities of it, but the great bulk of it goes to England, where its advantages have been proved and it is highly prized.The Montreal factory is now firmly established and is getting its share of the trade of eastern Canada.THE CANADA LINSEED OIL MILLS COMPANY (LIMITED).The Canada Linseed Oil Mills (Limited), is a recent acquisition to industrial * Montreal, having been incorporated on May 1, 1901.Their new plant for the manufacture of raw and boiled linseed oil and linseed cakes is situated at S1Q Notre Dame street.The concern is a limited stock company and the board of directors are :\u2014 Mr.John Baillie, president; Mr.J.J McGill, vice-president; Mr.J.O.Gra: vel, treasurer; Mr.E.Liersch, secretary and manager, and Mr.Adolphe V.Roy, director.Raw linseed oil is used extensively in the manufacture of paints, and the per manency of the paint depends largely on; the durability of the oil.That the oils manufactured by this company are giving satisfaction is shown ALEX McARTHUR & CO.The firm of Alexander McArthur & Company are large manufacturers of hanging and print papers, brown and manilla wrapping, two and three-ply ready roofing, building papers, sheathing and carpet felts and coal tar products.Their \u2018Black Diamond\u2019 brand of tarred felt is a very superior article and in great demand among the building trade in all parts of the province, and even beyond.Their flour sacks are noted for their strength, and their wrapping papers are not only very tough and suitable for hardware and dry goods dealers, but they are highly moisture-resisting, and the best kind of wrapping for butchers, fish dealers, etc.: The firm is one of the reliable and long-established enterprises of this province, and the accompanying illustration shows their extensive works both at Joliette and Montreal.Their roofing felt factory is on Harbor street, corner of Logan street, Montreal, and their paper mills are at Joliette, Que.\"lheir head offices and warerooms are at & McGill street, Montreal.by the fact that they are now doubling their present capacity in_order to meet the ever increasing demand for their product.In the manufacture of their \u2018Pale and Double Boiled Linseed Oils,\u2019 the very best driers are used, and under ordinary conditions will dry thoroughly in six hours.Linseed oil cake for either fat, flesh, milk or butter producing value is ac knowledged to be the best and cheapest of all cattle foods.This company\u2019s pre sent output of linseed cakes is from fif teen to twenty tons per day which will shortly be increased to double that quantity.The United States and Canada manufacture annually about 400, 000 tons of linseed cakes, and fully 95 percent.of it is exported to Great Britain and Europe.The nutriment of 10Q lbs.of linseed cakes is equal to 309 lbs.of oats or 318 lbs.of corn or 767 lbs.wheat bran or 1,000 lbs.hay.The ma- nurial value of linseed cake is $21.11 as against $7.43 for oats and $6.75 for corn.Qur farmers would do well to profit by the experience of European farmers and feed more extensively in this: country instead of allowing the product to ge abroad to enrich foreign soils.This vast agricultural country of ours should be an importer instead of exporter of linseed cakes.R.MOAT & COMPANY.The brokerage business at present carried on by R.Moat & Company, was established about 1865, by Mr.Robert Moat, who was one of the original members of the Montreal Stock Exchange.For some years and until his death in 1881, Mr.John Moat was associated with his brother, and the fi name was R.& J.Moat.On Nov.4, 1884, Mr.W.R.Miller was admitted as a partner, and the firm name was changed to R Mnat & Co.Mr.R.Moat retired from the active management of the firm about this date and left Canada to reside in England.Mr.J.H.Wallace was admitted a partner in 1888.In 1892 Mr.R.Moat retired from the firm, and the business since that date has been carried on by Messrs.W.R.Miller and John H.Wallace.Mr.W.R.Miller was elected secre- tary-treasurer of the Montreal Stock Exchange, in 1895, and served in that capacity until 1897, when he was elected vice-chairman.In February - was elected chairman, and i, position until May, 1901.a The have unexcelled :.- handling New York business are

machine to suit the requirements of dairies.Two of these machines were supplied to the Gor- ernment experimental dairies at Cowans ville and Woodstock, where they luve given high satisfaction.The shipping companies experienced great difficulties in delivering dairy jro- ducts in good condition in England, tnt during the last two years the Lind« British Refrigeration Company of (a nada have

COMPANY.The Perrault Printing Company is cne of the oldest firms in Montreal and was the first business of its kind estabiished in Canada.The late Mr.Louis Perrault, the founder of the business was the first paper manufacturer in Canada, baving a mill at Chambly.He was succeeded in the business by his sons, Messrs.Lovis and , Ovide Perrault, who were the first artistic printers in \u2018Canada, and did the finest work that was broriuced by the printer\u2019s art in this country ior many years.Mr.Louis Perrault, sr., aied in 189.In 1899 the business was purchased by a syndicate at the head of

> < The grocery business, in all towns and vities, is a very large and important ranch of trade.Very few people living ia our cities have suitable cellars or \u2018arders in which to keep large supplies oi provisions.The grocery store, bake «hop and butcher shop are so near to vaost homes that such articles as may ve required for food, are obtained, from day to day, in such quantities and varieties as the taste or fancy of the purchaser may dictate.A variety of circumstances have combined to make the custom of lunehing \u2018 down town\u2019 more general than it ever was before.Business men and laboring men, both, in many cases, now live in the suburbs or actually in the country, the electric car lines having been extended to the utmost paying limit for the passengers\u2019 accommodation and their own prospective future revenue.Both classes are usually too busy to spare the time it would take to go home for the mid-day meal, and cold lunches are seldom very tasty or invigorating.MR.WALTER PAUL.Mr.Walter Paul is one of the leading retail grocers of the Dominion.His business ability, enterprise and affability have caused him to be very widely and favorably known.He is a Scotchman, and came to Montreal thirty-five years ago, and has been engaged in the grocery business ever since.In 1879 Mr.Paul commenced business for himself in a small store on the north east corner of St.Catherine and Metcalfe streets.Business increased rapidly, and in 1884, he moved into the large store built specially for him on the opposite corner.He still occupies these premises which also have been enlarged twice to accommodate his ever-expanding trade.Mr.Paul has not only kept up with the times, but has led the trade in a number of important matters.© He was the first grocer in Montreal to demonstrate the fact that the grocery business could be successfully conducted without the liquor adjunct.He saw in fruit a suitable substitute for intoxicants, and was the first Montreal grocer to engage in selling fruit as a regular department of his business.Vegetables have since been added, and now Mr.Paul\u2019s importations of both summer and winter fruits and vegetables amount to thousands of dollars every year.\u2018Mr.Paul frequently visits the American and English markets in order to secure new ideas.The consequence is that everything worth having will be found in his store.It has become a saying.that \u2018it is summer all the year round at Walter Paul\u2019s.i Mr.Paul has always been favored with the patronage of the very best class of citizens.that Montreal can boast of and his stock is the best that money can buy.It has often been said that \u2018if you cannot get what you want at Walter Paul\u2019s, you will not find it in the city?S.H.AND A.8.EWING.The firm of S.H.and A.S.Ewing, importers and dealers in coffee, spices, and baking powders, was founded in 1845.Their history has been one of success and progress, and their business methods and the quality of their goods have made a reputation for them throughout the Dominion that any firm might envy.The firm\u2019s large warehouse is situated on Cote street, corner of Lagauchetiere street.Their mills, which are fitted with the most modern machinery, are in the rear of these premises.Here the roasting and blending of coffees, the grinding of spices, the manufacture of cream of tartar, S.H.& À.S.EWINGS Coffee and Spice Mills, Montreal.\u2018 Vienna \u2019 baking powder, &c., are carried on under the personal supervision of the members of the firm, and according to the most approved methods.The name of S.H.and A.S.Ewing on a package of these goods is taken as a guarantee of its excellence all over Canada.The proprietors are men of practical experience in all the departments of their business, and by.prompt.and * careful attention to orders and courteous treatment of their customers ave secured a large patronage throughout the Dominion, which is constantly Increasing in value and importance.ALEXANDER'S, The catering and confectionery business, known for many years, as \u2018 Alexander\u2019s,\u2019 was founded in 1842, by Mr.Chas.Alexander, father of the present proprietor.His first place of business was on- McGill street, but the growth of the business soon necessitated his removal to larger premises, which were taken on Notre Dame street.This store was destroyed by fire in 1883, when Mr.Alexander removed to 219 St.James street, which place is now under the proprietorship and management of Mr.Chas.M.Alexander.A few years ago, a branch was started at 2358 St.Catherine street, where business has increased to such an extent that, for some time, a separate staff of employees has been kept busy, .under the management of Mr.John F.Alexander, who is also the present proprietor.A large mart of this business consists of the manufacture and sale of cakes and candies of the highest quality, and innumerable varieties.These Goods are all manufactured on the premises by expert confectioners, under the personal supervision of the proprietors.Wedding cakes, Christmas cakes, and all kinds of choice confections are a specialty with the Messrs.Alexander, and orders for these are frequently received from all over the country.Sixty-five persons are now employed in the establishment, under the management of the Messrs.Alexander.A very important branch of business carried on by these gentlemen is the refreshment or dining rooms, connected with their stores.These dining rooms are kept very neat and clean, and invitingly furnished, and are very largely patronized by merchants and business men, who find it convenient to lunch down town.The \u2018 House of Alexander,\u2019 as it is sometimes called, is one of the renowned firms of this country, all the members of which are very popular.MR.D.H.WELSH.Thirteen years ago Mr.D.H.Welsh started in business as a caterer and éon- fectioner.To-day he has four stores with lunch rooms and banquet halls in connection, and if he has not the largest business of the kind in Montreal, he is certainly not far behind the foremost.Mr.Welsh learned his business thoroughly before commencing for himself.His first store was on Notre Dame street, but in a short time he moved to a better stand on St.Lawrence street.About the same time he opened another store at 2103 St.Catherine street, near Bleury street.His next move was to sell out the St.Lawrence street business and open a new place at 1875 St.Catherine street.The next addition to the business was the opening of a store on St.Peter street, near Craig street, and still later the purchase of the business formerly carried on by Mr.Detlefs, at 2245-47 St.Catherine street.Three different premises have been occupied by Mr.Welsh in St.Peter.street, each move being into larger and more suitable premises, the present store, dining- room and banquet hall, in the \u2018Witness\u2019 block having been fitted up in splendid style specially for Mr.Welsh\u2019s requirements.It is one of the favorite lunch resorts down town, Mr.Welsh makes all his own cake and candy; cooks his own meats for hot and cold dinners, banquets, etc.He is a popular caterer and 1s prepared to furnish estimates for all kinds of festivities and prepare or serve all kinds of suppers.The banquet and supper halls at, 126 St.Peter street and 2245 St.Catherine street, corner of Victoria street, are in constant demand.Personal attention is given to the preparation of wedding cakes, wedding dinners, Christmas dinners, and orders for all similar occasions, whether in the city or elsewhere.THE DAIRY LUNCH, 2318 St.Catherine street, Montreal.A First-class Ladies\u2019 and Gentlemen\u2019s Café, serving hot and cold dishes from 7 a.m.to 12

flavour.Everything fresh daily.A tasty luncheon at any hour is served, and a special luncheon at noon is a feature, and much appreciated.The location is in the heart of the uptown business district, 2318 St.Catherine street.Certain specialties are gaining a reputation for the Dairy Lunch as being fire, class and \u2018home-like._ A trial will convince the most exacting.All service a la carte.m.F.J.Hart, manager.MR.R.S.AULD, BAKER AND CONFECTIONER.Mr.R.8.Auld\u2019s bread delivery waggons are familiar objects on the principal streets of Montreal, and his confee- tionery store at 557 St.Antoine street, is one of the most attractive spots in the west end.This business place is situated within the limits of the growing and progressive town of Westmount, but Mr.Auld caters extensively to Montreal city patronage as well.The business was established twelve years ago on St.Martin street, in modest style.To-day the store at the corner of St.Antoine and Atwater streets is one of the showiest, cleanest and best fitted up to be seen in or around Montreal, and twenty-five hands are employed in connection with the establishment., The foundation stone on which this business was erected was quality, and the superstructure stands firm as a rock with tHe same kind of material for the keystone.Bread and cake of all popular styles and many kinds of candy are manufactured by this firm.Wedding cakes are among their specialties.The finest grades of flour, fruits, essences, flavorings, sugars and syrups are used in the manufacture of their goods.This firm was awarded a silver cup, the highest award for Canada, at the Colonial Bread Show, held in London, England, in September, 1900.Mr.Auld strives, by giving good values and an accommodating service, to please all who favor him with their orders and his splendid trade is the most satisfactory evidence of the success of his efforts.MR.JAMES STRACHAN.One of the best known names among Montreal\u2019s former citizens, is that of James Strachan, baker.The late Mr.James Strachan was born at Ormstown, Que., in 1836, and came to Montreal at the age of sixteen years.At the age of twenty years he began ecommer- cial life with Mr.Benny, one of the well known bakers of that day.In 1860, Mr.Benny retired and Mr, Strachan took over the business, which he continued with remarkable success until his death, which occurred about two years ago.Since that time, the business has been continued under the firm name by Mr.Strachan\u2019s two sons, Mr.William and Mr.James F.Strachan.The business consists solely of the baking of bread, of which they turn out between seventy- five thousand and eighty thousand loaves per month.In the manufacture of this and night.It takes nine waggons to deliver their bread, which is sold in large quantities by grocers, in all parts of the city and suburbs, as well as delivered to customers direct.They bake bread in ore hundred and five different styles, using only the very best quality of flour.They employ the most improved machinery known to the baking trade, and the extension of their business has necessitated considerable additions to their plant, a new shop and oven having been recently erected.This firm are justly entitled to the distinction of being \u2018Bakers to Royalty,\u201d as, during the recent visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Canada, they suplied the Royal train, their bread having been selected from among the samples of a large num- her of competitors.They are purveyors to the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific railways and all the leading hotels of Montreal.This firm carried off the prize for the best delivery outfit at the Spring, Horse Show, held at the Arena, in ; WM.EWING & COMPANY.Seed Merchants.142 to 146 McGill Street, Montreal.The firm of William Ewing & Company, seed merchants, is composed of quantity of bread they employ.fourteen \u2018bakers, and keep five ovens, going day Mr.William Ewing and Mr, J.H.Davi- son.The hneiness was established in DAILY WITNESS.MR.JAMES M.AIRD.Twenty-five years age Mr.James M.Aird bought out a small bakery and commenced business for himself on St.Antoine street.He startd with two delivery waggons on the road, and now has eleven, seven of which deliver only bread.A few years ago Mr.Aird built the new factory he now occupies at No.101 St.Urbain street, where he has five large ovens in operation.He employs eleven bread bakers, eight hands in the cake shop, four in the candy shop, five in the biscuit department and forty others in his stores, lunch rooms, etc.His bread is used by some 1,500 to 2,000 families in this city.He was tlie first to make \u2018Vienna\u2019 bread, to use coal in his ovens, and to run covered delivery waggons.He has had a place of business on Notre Dame street since 1879.About ten years ago Mr.Aird opened a branch store at 469 1-2 St.Lawrence street, and four years ago he opened the fine large corner store and lunch room at the corner of Notre Dame and McGill.Cake making was added to the business soon after Mr.Aird started, and candy making has developed into an important department during the last fifteen years.Two years ago Mr.Aird introduced into his business the Corby process of dough-making, which generates all the gluten that can possibly be developed from the flour.All the flour used by Mr.Aird is sifted and all the water is filtered, and \u2018all the ingredients used in the manufacture of his products are of the best quality.His Triticumina Infants\u2019 Food is recognized to be an excellent article.It is also one of the most digestible foods that can be procured for invalids.Triticumina Bread is really the best bread to-day for those troubled with indigestion.CHARLES GURD & CO.A firm which has held the lead in its particular line, and has retained public confidence for thirty-five years, needs little introduction.tablished, in Montreal, the first Canadian sugar refinery.Shortly afterwards, in the business, and the firm became John Redpath & Son, under which style it was very successfully carried on for a number of years.: At a later period the Hon.Senator Geo.\u2018A.Drummond and the late Mr.John James Redpath, became partners, the former assuming the duties of manager at the works.In 1879 the business was converted into a joint stock company, under the name of the \u2018Canada 1869, by Mr.William Ewing, who had arrived from Scotland, four years previously.In addition to their large retail store, offices and sample rooms, on McGill street, they have extensive warehouse premises on St.Maurice street, corner of St.Henry street.Their warehouse capacity is sufficient to enable them to store a hundred and twenty-five car loads of seeds.These warerooms are provided with conveniences which enable the firm to handle three thousand bags per day.As many as five loads can be taken in at the same time.They employ the most modern and improved seed cleaning machinery and hoisting gear, all of which are driven by a.fifteen horse power electric motor.2, Tbis firm deal in everything in the line of seed, for both farm and garden, and everything offered by them is of the best quality that can be procured, and the most suitable for our soil and climate that Canadian and European experience has found it advisable to use.Every department receives equal attention.Flower seeds, bulbs, garden and pot plants that have a world-wide reputation may always be obtained through this house, while such farm seeds as clover, timothy, and seed grain, of standard varieties and selected quality, are always kept on hand, in large quantities.This firm have made a special study of the kinds of grain suitable for growing in the different parts of the Dominion and Europe, and are prepared to give reliablé and valuable information on this subject to their patrons.This firm also keep on hand a full line of incubators and poultry supplies; gar- en and farm tools; spraying apparatus, and artificial fertilizers.They publish an- .nually, in both French and English, large editions of illustrated séed and bulb ca- talogues, which will be mailed on application to intending customers, THE CANADA SUGAR REFINING COMPANY ( In 1854 the late Mr.John Redpath es-; his son, Mr.Peter Redpath, joined: him.Sugar Refining Company (Limited), with $1,000,000 capital, and with offices at No.39 St.Francois Xavier street.Senator Drummond is now, and has been, for some years, the president and managing director of the company; R.B Angus is the vice-president, and Mr.W.W.Watson, secretary.The refinery is situated on the banks of the Lachine Canal, just west of the city.The plant covers twelve acres of ground, and some of the buildings are massive structures seven or eight stories in height.In connection with the plant there 1s a large cooper shop where the company manufacture all their own barrels.All the machinery employed in Messrs.Charles Gurd & Co.not only hold this distinction, but by their enterprise and public spirit, have in no small measure contributed to the present fame of Montreal and Canada as homes of mercantile and manufacturing progress.The awards of the firm include gold medals at Ottawa, Montreal, World's Paris Exposition, besides medals and diplomas at Chicago, (World\u2019s Columbia Exposition), London, England, ete, etc, in all, three gold, three silver, five bronze medals and eighteen diplomas, the highest award given in each instance.While non-intoxicating beverages, constitute the staple lines manufactured by this firm, the chief of which is the world-famous Gurd\u2019s ginger ale; Messrs.Gurd & Co.do a large trade in medicated waters, and are the agents and bottlers.of the \u2018Magi,\u2019 Caledonia natural mineral waters.The various lines include Gurd\u2019s celebrated ginger ale, apple nectar, lemonade, sarsaparilla, cherry phosphate, cream soda, ginger beer, lemon soda, Scotch kola, Gurd\u2019s super-carbonated soda, medicated waters (prepared from the best formulae), seltzer, potash, Vichy, Lithia (in bottdes and syphons), and syrups of various flavors and high class excellence.; Among the.direct.causes of this firm\u2019s sucess, is the fact that its filtering system is the acme of ingenious and thorough achievement and is without an equal.Mr.Charles Gurd, proprietor, has directly conducted the management since the beginning, and has been jealous of both the standard and motto of the business, which is brief and suggestive, viz., \u2018The best\u2019 LIMITED).N.QUINTAL & FILS.The well known wholesale grocery house of N.Quintal & Fils was established in 1851, by Mr.Narcisse Quintal.In 1880 his son, Mr.Joseph Edmund Quintal was admitted to the firm as partner, and, under his progressive management.the business has had a very rapid an substantial growth, and is now one of the largest wholesale grocery houses in the Dominion, doing a business of over one million dollars per annum.In 1897 Mr.Alfred Marien, who has been connected with the firm for twenty years, was taken into partnership.The ouse is keenly alive to every feature that will improve their business and.accommodate.their trade.Their goods are known to be absolutely as represented, and no firm stands stronger with the business public.Their offices and salesrooms are located at Nos.270-274 St.Paul, and Nos.111-113 Commissioners streets, Montreal.THE OGILVIE FLOUR MILLS COMPANY (LIMITED).To be the greatest flour-milling concern in the British Empire is certainly a distinction for any industry.To have this industry in Canada is a matter of pride and congratulation to all Canadians.The Ogilvie Flour Mills have been in existence one hundred years.The development of the Dominion, especially the wheat-producing North West, is in many ways traceable to the great consuming powers of these mills, There are now three great mills in operation \u2014the Royal Mills at Montreal, the Glenora Mills at Montréal and the Winnipeg Mills\u2014all of which are equipped in the most modern and perfect manner, and conducted in every branch by experts in their various duties and positions.The two brands sold throughout Canada and the flour-im- porting countries of the world are \u201cOgilvie\u2019s Glenora Patent\u2019 and * Ogil- vies Hungarian Patent,\u201d names which have grown to be household words throughout the Empire.¢ Ogilvie\u2019s Oats\u2019 is also a great favorite as a breakfast food.Absolutely pure and unadulterated, it has stood the test for years.the business is of the most improved ' kind and the methods employed are the latest and best known to science.Twenty-two huge steam boilers are used to boil the sugar which is refined by the vacuum process.The plant has a capacity of 2,000 barrels a day, and the product has gained a reputation for excellence of quality that no words are needed here to amplify.About six hundred men are employed in the works, and the annual pay roll reaches about $200,000.The anriual output of sugar is estimated at $4,500,000 per annum, the product being distributed to all parts of the Dominion.The company also manufacture high-class sugars.! Granby Rubber Company are on THE HON.GEO.A.DRUMMOND, Senator, President of the Canada Sugar Refining Company, etc.The Ogilvie Flour Mills Co.is under the direct supervision of Mr.F.W.Thompson, managing director, who has been associated with its success far the past twenty years, and who still plans improvements and developments that the marvellous growth of the country justifies.A great distinction has been conferred on their mills, resulting from the recent visit of the Duchess of York, now Princess of Wales.So impressed was she with the perfection of their product, that bakers in the Royal household are commanded to use only Ogilvie\u2019s flour, and Ogilvie\u2019s products wherever possible, thus giving the title of Millers under Royal Warrant to the Ogilvie Mills.oe STUART & HERBERT.Montrealers like good bread and.eat lots of it.For instance, the firm of Stuart & Herbert make and sell over a million and a half of loaves in a year, and they are only one of several big bakers in the city.The business was started in 1888 with a small staff and only three waggons on the road.By making good bread and by pursuing proper business methods, trade has increased, until to-day a staff of about fifty hands is employed, and sixteen waggons are constantly out on the rounds delivering bread, cakes and confectionery.The business was started at No.600 Ri- vard street, but to-day their premises extend from No.611 to 623 Rivard street, and the present year promises to be the record year in the firm's exist- The firm manufacture plain and ence.fancy bread, the \u2018Quaker\u2019 brand of bread being a specialty.They also make all kinds of cakes.They are popular caterers as well, and the enjoyment of many a soirée and social gathering has largely depended upon their catering abilities.They could give hundreds of testimonials as to their success in this line.THE GRANBY RUBBER COMPANY.The Granby Rubber Company, whose factory and main offices are located at Granby, Que., is one of the largest institutions of its kind on the American continent.In 1887, Mr.S.H.C.Miner, the man whose name is so intimately associated with the prosperity of Granby, and the Dominion, in fact, conceived the idea of establishing a rubber plant that would meet the growing requirements.of Canada for a High class of goods, which, up to that time, could not be found among Canadian made goods.The progress this company has made has been remarkable.With \u2018a plant as modern as money can make it, they give employment to about five hundred hands.What this means to a town like Granby, containing some 3,500 inhabitants, can be easily estimated.The Granby Rubber Company formerly manufactured clothing and all kinds of rubber goods, but the trade has been specialized now to boots and shoes exclusively.The Montreal headquarters of the Victoria square, and_ their selling agents are Messrs.Ames, Holden & Compahy, who -also carry stocks in Toronto, Winnipeg, Quebec, Victoria, Vancouver and St.John, N.B.Mr.S.H.C.Miner,the president of the company, is widely known throughout Canada, from his connections with various commercial enterprises and for his aggressive business tactics.He is also mayor of the town of Granby.Mr.J.H.McKechnie, the general.manager and secretary treasurer of the company, has been with it from the start, and has had much to do with its great success.a EDWARDSBURG STARCH COMPANY (LIMITED.) One of the best known business firms in the Dominion, is the Edwardsburg Starch Company (Limited), whose head offices are at 164 St.James street, Montreal, and whose factory is at Cardinal, Ont.This company was established in 1858, and every year has seen growth and expansion in all departments of the business.This result is, no doubt, due.to the energy and enterprise of Messrs.| W.T.Benson & Company, of Montreal, who are the company\u2019s general sales agents, no less than to, the excellency of the firm\u2019s productions.The plant is, undoubtedly, the finest equipped starch works in the Dominion.A large portion of the works are quite new, having been rebuilt after a disastrous fire, about two years ago.The machinery is all as perfect as money and inventive and mechanical skill can make it, and the most experienced hands are employed by the company.* This company manufacture rice, corn, wheat and potato starch, corn, syrup and glucose, and their goods are widely known in the homes of the Dominion as Benson\u2019s prepared corn starch, the Ed- wardsburg silver gloss starch, Benson\u2019s enamel starch, etc.The by-products are known as corn oil, germ feed and gluten meal, CR pe ober Vio s * firm for eleven years.LU Canada\u2019s Transportation Facilities \u2018| Montreal the hub where many railways meet.The head of Ocean Navigation and the National Seaport.The transportation facilities of this country are developing with marvellous rapidity, and, yet, they are scarcely keeping up with the démand.There was a time when railway lines and steamship lines scarcely paid.Rail ways were being extended into new parts of the country in advance of population.With foresight, far ahead of their fellows, a few capitalists and legislators saw that this policy was a progressive and wise one.They had taken the pains to investigate the possibilities of the almost unknown territories within our borders.They dared to \u2018 count their chickens before they were hatched\u2019 and to invest millions of dollars of public and private funds for the purpose of transporting settlers to the richest farm lands, the most valuable mines and the most extensive forest areas in the civilized world.Perhaps some parts of the country, the new iron arteries were laid in were scarcely civilized; some parts were uninhabited by any human being, but there were possibilities of the most inviting and reassuring character, and, to-day, behold the results! Lands that a generation ago\u2014some, but a year ago,\u2014were idle, are to-day settled by thousands of young, vigorous and prosperous Canadians.ines that for ages had been hidden from human knowledge, have been discovered and are yielding gold, silver, copper, iron, etc., for the service of man.Our transcontinental and other railway lines, while excellent in all their appointments, are almost unable to meet the demand upon their carrying powers, owing to the hitherto unprecedented yjeld of wheat, produced on our fertile prairie farms.Large quantities of grain do not now accumulate in any centre as they used to do twenty years ago.The great railway elevator sys: tems in the west, and the improved facilities for handling and moving grain in Ontario and eastern Canada, have done away with the inconvenience experienced in years gone by.Besides, Ontario and Quebec provinces are not as extensive wheat growers and exporters now as they were twenty years ago.The opening of the great and immensely productive grain areas of Manitoba and the North-West, made it unprofitable to grow wheat in the older provinces for export.Farmers in eastern Canada, have, in recent years, turned their attention to stock raising, finding it much more profitable to grow coarse grains and feed them to cattle and hogs, and even horses, sheep, and fowl; thus improving their flocks and herds and producing meats, butter, cheese and other commodities for which there is a good demand, at remunerative prices.Canada is to-day a large and growing export country, with unlimited possibilities before her.Her trans-Atlantic service with Montreal, the commercial metropolis, at the head of ocean navigation, and her Pacific service, between this continent and the Orient, are both efficient and sufficient for present needs, with every prospect of further improvement at a comparatively early date.MR.H.D.METCALFE.One of the prominent grain exporters of Montreal is Mr.Henry D.Metcalfe, whose offices are at No.9 St.Sacrament street.Mr.Metcalfe was educated af the Montreal High School, and entered the Grand Trunk Railway general freight agent\u2019s office in Montreal in 1880.From office boy he worked his way up to be claims clerk and was appointed to that position in the Detroit offices.In 1885 he left the service of the Grand Trunk Railway Company, and early in the following year started on a trip around the world.Besides visiting the principal places of interest in the old world, he spent about a year in Australia, and returned to Canada in the fall of 1887.In December of that year he entered the office of Messrs.Alex.McFee & Company, grain exporters, and remained with that At the end of that time, December, 1898, Mr.Metcalfe started in business for himself, with offices in Montreal and Winnipeg.Mr.Metcalfe is much interested in the grain export business, and is thoroughly post- edyon every phase of the question.He is a member of the Montreal Board of Trade, the Montreal Corn Exchange, the Chicago Board of Trade, the New York Produce Exchange and the Winnipeg Grain Exchange.\u2018He was elected vice- president of the Winnipeg Grain Exchange in 1898, president of the Montreal Corn Exchange in 1901, and a member of the Council of the Montreal Board of Trade in 1902.GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY SYSTEM.Of the two great railway systems of Canada, the Grand Trunk and the Canadian Pacific, the former is much the older, in fact, it is the oldest railway in the country.\u201d The real commencement of what constitutes the present system dates as far back as 1831.The Grand Trunk is actually made up of about twenty-five lines of road, all operated and maintained under the one management, and extends from Chicago, in the west, to Quebec and Portland, Maine, in the east, covering.over four thousand miles, and carrying some seven million passengers, and ten million tons of freight per annum.It has an invested capital of about $350,000,000, which figures will give the mind some comprehension of its importance and power in developing the Dominion.Within recent years, the system has been much improved, its earning capacity and efficiency greatly increased, and it 18 now recognized as one of the great railways of the continent.Its train service has come to be of the very best from both the United States and Canada.There are many points of interest along its lines, some of great scenic magnificence, and many that are favorites with sportmen and tourists.Its connections at Portland, Maine, give it an outlet to the sea, open the year around, affording a direct route from Chicago, drawing from all the great West, through Michigan and Canada, with its network of feeders, and branches drawing one of the richest territories in the continent to the sea, to embark for European ports.Niagara Falls, the \u2018 Highlands of Ontario,\u2019 in the Georgian Bay - district, the beautiful Muskoka region, the White Mountains of New England, are all features of the Grand Trunk System, and all well known by travellers on both sides of the border.and receives a great popular patronage THE MONTREAL CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY.The greatest enterprise in all of Canada; the one to which the present prosperity and development of the country is due more than any other is the Canadian Pacific Railway, the great continuous line, stretching across, the continent, from ocean to ocean, with a system of branches tapping all parts of the Dominion, and bringing the West and East into profitable communication.The total number of miles operated under this system, either directly or under traffic eement amounts to about ten thousand.It is the road par excellence of all the world.A passenger can travel continuously, from ocean to ocean, over this line.Entering the car at Halifax or St.John, is carried through to Vancouver, without change, and then can be transferred to one of the company\u2019s ships and proceed to the ports of the Orient.The road has direct train service to Chicago, New York and Boston, and with its connections also, to St.John and Halifax, thus giving six outlets to the Atlantic, namely, Montreal, Quebec, Boston, New York, Halifax and St.John.On the Great Lakes it touches at Toronto, Windsor, Owen Sound, Sault Ste.Marie, Port Arthur and Fort William.Along the line of the Canadian Pacific is a variety of scenery unsurpassed by that of any other line of travel in the world.The Mountain ranges of British Columbia.eclipse any scenic grandeur on the globe, the C.P.R.winds its way through their very heart.THE MONTREAL GRAIN ELEVATING COMPANY.The Montreal Grain Elevating Company was organized in 1857, for the purpose of transferring grain from inland to ocean vessels, by means of floating elevators.Previous to this time, all grain had been transferred by hand labor at the rate of about 5,000 bushels per ship per day.Commencing with one small elevator in 1857, the company increased the number and capacity of their elevators as the development of the grain trade of the port required.This company\u2019s present plant consists of sixteen elevators, with a working capacity of about \u2018100,000 bushels per hour.They have also in course of construction two powerful elevators which are to have a capacity of about twelve thousand bushels each per hour, amply assuring dispatch to all inland and ocean vessels trading to this port.In the season of 1898 this company elevated 40,000,000 bushels, while this season, owing to the dullness of the grain trade, the total quantity will only aggregate about twenty million bushels.The company\u2019s offices are at No.7 Place Royale., \u2018The largest ship owners in Britain,\u2019 is the proud distinction claimed by Elder, Dempster & Company, of Liverpool.They also manage one of the largest commercial houses in the world.The firm originally consisted of Messrs.Alexander Elder and John Dempster, who founded \u2018The British and African Steam Navigation Company (Limited).\u2019 They have long since retired, and Messrs.Alfred L.Jones, K.C.M.G., and William J.Davey, are the present partners of the firm.Sir Alfred L.Jones, the senior partner, is an ardent Imperialist, trader and philanthropist, and has done a great deal for Canadian commerce by establishing the \u2018 Beaver\u2019 line of steamers, between Montreal and Liverpool, London and Bristol.Mr.Da- vey also is a cultured and capable gentleman, imbued with keen business instincts and a wealth of humanity and kindly disposition.The ships of this company are bujlt for the special requirements of colonial trade and traverse the waters of the north and south Atlantic oceans by the Plate River route, and the Jamaica, New Orleans, Boston, Portland and Montreal routes as well as the highway to West Africa.They can transport army corps or merchandise, live stock or provisions, and have carried whole colonies of settlers from Europe to the British colonies.ELDER, DEMPSTER & COMPANY \u2019S 8S.\u2018LAKE CHAMPLAIN/\u2019 The \u201cAfrican House,\u2019 their great commercial centre and head offices, in \u2018Water street, Liverpool, is a wonderful place.The company have seven regular Heets besides numerous other irregular sailings to such places as Hamburg, Bremen, Antwerp, Rotterdam, Havre, and Mediterranean ports.Their Canadian or \u2018 Beaver\u2019 line fleet, includes ten ships weekly from Liverpool to Quebec and Montreal, in summer, and to Halifax and St.John in winter, with an aggregate tonnage of 56,000; from London to Montreal and Quebec weekly.Six vessels aggregating 46,000 tons, and from Bristol, to Quebec and Montreal, weekly, seven ships of 40,000 tons.The British admirality made good use of their vessels as transports for men, stores and stock, during the recent South African war, nine steamers having been requisitioned for that service.A large number of the company\u2019s commanders, officers, engineers and seamen are Royal Navy Reservists, which renders the fleet particularly valuable to the nation in troublous times.Nothing better could be wished for than the accommodation provided passengers on their steamships.In fact, in a word, nothing has been left undone to make every department of the transport and passenger service perfect in points of efficiency and comfort., STEAMSHIP \u2018 COMMONWEALTH,\" DOMINION LINE.The Dominion Line of steamers dates its formation back to 1870.Its steamers ply between Montreal, Quebec and Liverpool, during the summer, while all the year round a regular service is maintained between Boston and Liverpool, and Portland and Liverpool.Messrs.David Torrance & Co., of 17 St.Sacrament street, are the: general agents of the line, with agencies in all large cities of the Dominion.he company has a splendid fleet of passenger steamers, and the illustration of the good ship \u2018Commonwealth,\u2019 given above, will give the reader an estimate of their staunch and palatial character.The freight service is also first class, and special attention is given to this department, to make it superior to that of any other line.Six vessels are employed in the Montreal freight service alone.DAILY WITNESS.CANADIAN EXPRESS COMPANY.The Canadian Express Company, as it is known to-day, was established over fifty years ago, by the-late Benjamin P.Cheney, under the name of Cheney, Rice & Co.It was operated in a small way until 1865, when it was incorporated as the \u2018 Canadian Express Company; and began branching out until it now operates on_the following lines of railway : Grand Trunk, Canada Atlantic, Quebec & Lake St.John, Canada Eastern, Midland, of Nova Scotia ; Central Ontario, Bay of Quinte R.& Nav.Co., South Shore, Temiscouata, Intercolonial, Lake Erie & Detroit, Great Northern, Sydney & Louisville, Prince Edward Island, Cumberland P.& C.Co., Brock- ville, Westport & 8.S.M., Salisbury & Harvey, and the Gilsonburg, Lake Erie & Pacific.The company has nearly one thousand offices throughout the cities and villages of Canada; maintains a tri-weekly service to Liverpool, England, enabling it to handle business for all parts of the world., In 1891, the money order system was inaugurated which has been a marked success, and orders are issued, payable at all points.Exceptional facilities for | the collection of notes, drafts and accounts at very low rates is a strong feature of the business.The general offices of the company are located in the handsome new office building of the Grand Trunk Railway System, Montreal.Mr.Chas.M.Hays, general manager of the Grand Trunk Railway, is president of the company, and James Bryce, who has been many years in the service of the company has been vice-president and general manager since 1896, during which time the company has made marked improvement in its facilities and general business.QUEBEC SOUTHERN RAILWAY.One of the greatest projects under way for the development of Canadian resources \u2018and industrial prosperity is the one planned and now under way by the Quebec Southern Railway.A line from the Great Lakes to Liverpool, England, is the ultimate end of the plans under way by this company.They will provide for the rail route with their own line to the ports of the Great Lakes and the ocean voyage with their own vessels.The subway at Montreal is a feature of the route.The products of the great North West, the shipping interests of the lakes, the richness of the Dominion will be made to contribute to the support of this great enterprise.The Quebec Southern Railway is now known as the direct route between Quebec, Levis, all points in the Richlieu Valley, and Burlington, Rutland, Troy, Albany, New York, Boston, Worcester, and all New England points.Connee- tions are made with the Rutland.railroad, affording passengers direct \u2018and through transportation between these points.It is as well the all rail route to Abenakis Springs, the \u201cCarlsbad of Canada.\u201d The water from these springs rivals those of the celebrated Carlsbad of Europe, and the medical fraternity generally recommend them for the cure of many diseases.The Abenakis Hotel, open from June: to September, affords splendid accommodation for 200 guests, and is a veritable anglers\u2019 paradise.Information obtainable by addressing A, H.Harris, general traffic manager, Montreal.2 \"SN A N) MR.JOHN TORRANCE.Mr.Torrance is at the head of the firm of Messrs.David Torrance & Co., No.17 St.Sacrament street, Montreal, general agents for the Dominion Line of steam- ips.ALEX.McFEE & COMPANY.Messrs.Alex.McFee & Company, of Montreal and Winnipeg, are among the leading grain dealers and shippers of the Dominion.Mr.McFee, the head of the firm, has been in the grain exporting business for the past twenty- five years, and has an intimate knowledge of the grain trade of this country.Mr.McFee has been connected with the Montreal Board of Trade, the Corn Exchange, and other leading commercial and financial bodies for years past.He was for two years president of the Corn Exchange, has been a member of the council of the Board of Trade for two years, and was this year elected president of that organization.He is a member of the permanent Western Grain Standard Board of Manitoba and the North West.Mr.McFee believes that Montreal is destined to get a large share of the Canadian grain trade of the future.The western wheat belt is filling up rapidly, and business from the Canadian North West is developing to very large proportions.The Canadian route should, and, he considers, will, with increased and improved railway, elevator and shipping facilities and moderate rates, be the popular route to Europe.It is the shortest and most direct outlet for Canadian products, and ealers are practically able now to supply the demand from England at any time of the year at almost uniform rates and on short notice.The grain export business has become a more legitimate business than formerly, nothing being now shipped that is not sold.The risk connected with the business is thus reduced to a minimum.* MR.ROBERT MEIGHEN.President of the Lake of the Woods Milling Company (Limited) The Lake of the Woods Millin, industries in Canada.Their mills at Company (Limited is one of the ureatest ) eewatin and Portage La Prairie bave a daily capacity of 5,000 barrels, and their registered brand of flour, \u2018Five Roses;

cold storage on railways for transportation to the ports for ocean shipment; and, lastly, cold storage on the sfeam- ships, for the safe carriage of the products and landing them in good condition in Great Britain.With a liberal, and, vet, careful expenditure of money, this purpose of assisting both the steamships and the railway companies, so that the charge for the carrying of butter and cheese should not be greater to the shipper than that already quoted; in fact, the Government went so far as to pay the expense of fitting up insulated com partments on the steamships, and guar anteed to the steamship companies earnings on the space occupied by these compartments as well, the earnings from such charge, of course, to be credited to the amount guaranteed by the Govern ment.From this beginning the service was extended, and arrangements were also made for providing mechanical re frigeration on seventeen steamships, leaving Montreal for ports in Great Britain during the season of 1897.Arrange menis were also made with the railway companies to run refrigerator cars, fully iced, on the main lines leading to the shipping ports of Montreal, Quebec, St.John and Halifax, no extra charge being made to the shipper for the improved service.Later, cold storage was also introduced into the creameries, so that the butter and cheese would be kept in good condition before shipment, as well as during transit.These facilities, particularly in the handling of butter, have been improved upon, from year to year, with the result that the packages of butter carried, in cold storage, from the port of Montreal, jumped from 227,863 packages in 1900 to 410,893 packages in 191.During the season 1901 there were sailings of 24 steamers, with cold storage, from the port of Montreal, most of these made several voyages each.Refrigerator cars, fully iced, also ran to Montreal, from fifteen points on the Canadian Pacific Railway, sixteen on the Grand Trunk Railway, two on the Quebec Central Railway, two on the Intercolonial Railway, six on the Canada Atlantic Railway and one on the Quebec & Lake St.John Railway.Six of these ran once a fort night, and the other thirty-six weekly, and all without extra charge to the shipper.The following tables show the value of the exports of butter and cheese for the years 1896 to 1901, inclusive :\u2014 BUTTER.1896.\u2026.$ 1,052,08 1897.21122 2,080.13 1398.2,046,686 1899.3700873 1900.5,192,156 1901.3.295,663 CHEESE.1896.\u2026 .813936371 1897.12 12.14,676,239 1898.LL 17.572,763 1899.:.16,776,765 1900.1.19,856,394 1901.© 20,696,951 The first cheese factories jn Canada worth mentioning commenced?operations in the year 1864.In the following year Mr.A.A.Ayer came to Montreal, and early in 1867 he laid the foundation for the butter and cheese business at present carried on by Messrs.A.A.Ayer & Company (Limited).A short time after the business was established Mr.Ayer was joined by Mr.John McKergow, and the business was carried on under the name of A.A.Ayer & Company, until 1899, when a joint stock company was formed under the style of À.A.Ayer & Company (Limited), Messrs.J.H.Scott, W.W.Pickett and A.J.Ayer taking a large interest and active part in the business.This firm has grown with the butter and cheese business and its members are all practical men, conversant with all the developments and necessities that have been experienced in the business from its inception until the present time.From the first this firm have confined themselves strictly to the wholesale trade.+ While they both buy and sell in all the provinces, in the Dominion the bulk of their business consists of exports They were the first to Great Britain.y à company to sell Canadian butter an cheese outright to the English market on what is known in commercial circles a \u201ccif\u201d terms, and the business has been continued strictly on that basis up tv the present time.The firm buy their bu'- ter and cheese direct from the producers, whether farmers or factorymen.and so direct to the distributors in Gre?Britain.They have been for ma, years the largest exporters of butter ane cheese in Canada, and their annual turn over now amounts to over half a za 5 packages, valued at about five milli dollars.They expect, now that the N direct service to South Africa has ht\u2019 arranged, to be the x shippers of dairy produce to that co The premises occupied by this com consist of three large buildings extenc i across the block between St.Paul «1!

innumerable classes.of articles, in fact, may be preserved in perfectly sound condition for a long period and transported on land or water, in the warmest climates we know of, from the place of production to the home of the consumer.It has been said by some one who has made inquiry that there is, in the history of the customs of men, no parallel for the present system of refrigeration which is rapidly coming into such general use.What was considered, a few years ago to be a luxury is to-day one of the necessaries of life, commercial life, at any rate.Our grandfathers salted and smoked and jerked the meats they wished to preserve for future use, and our grandmothers, and mothers, too, pickled and preserved; but these methods of providing dainties or necessaries for the day when they would be out of season are liable to become lost arts as artificial refrigeration becomes more general.Weathy people now put their furs and other garments in cold storage in the summer months to keep them from the moths and other destructive agents.Merchants have, in certain instances, placed metals that had become wet and were liable to rust or corrode, in cold storage until they were able to dry and polish the goods, when they were found to be as good as the day they were made, Twenty years ago, and less, ice from the lakes and streams of our northern country provided the refrigeration mostly employed in the preservation of food, but naturally the operations under these circumstances were limited and the period for storing perishable goods was re: stricted.The temperatures obtained were not below 36 degrees Fahrenheit.By the use of ice with salt freezing temperatures could be had, but the method was very expensive.Most of the objections to the system of natural refrigeration are done away with in the artificial system.; ; The successful application of the principles of thermodynamics to the business of preserving perishable merchandise in its natural condition rivals in importance any of the achievements of modern science in the wide realm of the world\u2019s comforts and economics.The benefits of this system will be noted with interest in connection with several business notices which follow.What with refrigerator cars, refrigerator sectionsin ocean steamships, and cold storage warehouses in this and foreign countries, the possibilities that lie before us in the matter of commeree in perishable goods are beyond conception.The benefits to ourselves in other respects from the general use of artificial refrigeration will be better food, the enjoyment of the products of all climes and all seasons in our homes whenever we desire them, and the saving of goods which ofher- wise would perish in a few days.THE CANADA COLD STORAGE COMPANY (LIMITED).The Canada Cold Storage Company (Limited) was organized and incorporated in 1900 with a capital of $500,000.The ground area of their warerooms is estimated at 150,000 square feet, and their storage and refrigerating capacity at vver two million cubic feet, making it one of the largest concerns of the kind in the Dominion.The Company\u2019s offices and refrigerating warerooms are on William street, and are consequently conveniently situated for the storage of commodities which may be required from day to day by city merchants, as well as goods in transit for export or shipment to Canadian points.The refrigerating apartments are arranged to suit every variety of goods, and the.tempera- Lures can also be regulated so as to keep the different commodities in the best condition at all seasons of the year.The company have patrons all over the Dominion, from the far west to Prince Edward Island.A very large staff is employed in connection with the plant and storage operations.Besides the refrigerating chambers used for the storage of shipments in transit and placed here only temporarily, the company supplies refrigeration for several firms occupying adjoining.premises.Among these are Messrs.A.A.Ayer & Co.(Limited), Lovell & Christmas, D._A.Macpherson & Co., Hodgson Bros., F.Duckett, Jas, Alexander, A.J.Brice, J.A.Vaillan- court, the White Packing Company, w Nivin & Son, A.W.Grant and many nthers.Several million packages are rnoled by this company during a year.They have a 750-horse power plant, which is run day and night during the warm scason.The system used is what is !nown as the \u2018brine\u2019 system or Linde iatent, in which ammonia and chloride of calcium are the refrigerating agents.It is claimed that lower temperatures ran be obtained by this method than by the use of salt.Mr.R.P.McLea, of the well-known firm of J.& R.McLea, commission merchants, is president and managing di- vector of thé company.The company\u2019s rates are very moderate, and every attention is paid to the interests of their patrons.Every part of the service is complete and up-to-date.THE UNION COLD STORAGE COMPANY (LIMITED.One of the largest and most important cold storage plants in Montreal, is that of the Union Cold Storage Company.The company\u2019s office is at No.8 Young street; their warehouses occupy a block, bounded by Wellington, Col- borne, Murray and Young streets, and include .about one million cubic feet of storage space« Their refrigeration represents the melting of about two hundred tons of ice every twenty-four hours.The company was established in 1896.There are both free and bonded wargrooms in connection, and a spur of the Grand Trunk Railway runs into à shed at the south end of the warehouse, making the shipping facilities all that could be desired.The regrigerator plant employed is that known as the Linde-British system, the system which is now in almost universal use and which is considered the best yet introduced.\u2019 \u2018This is the system which has been adopted by the Dominion government, in connection with both the railway and steamship cold storage plants, which have been installed recently.The government stored their exhibits of apples, honey, maple sugar, cheese, butter, etc., in the rooms of the Union Cold Storage Company while awaiting shipment for Paris Cork, Glasgow and Wolverhampton, and everything opened on the other side in perfect condition.Their plant is one of the most perfectly equipped in Canada, and accommodation is afforded for all kinds of merchandise with separate apartments for every class of goods.The company\u2019s cable address is \u2018 Uni- | cold,\u201d and its services are at the disposal of importers as well as exporters, for all kinds of dutiable or free goods.The executive is an able and influential one, Mr.J.T.Wilson, a isn, Paton & Co., being president, an .Wm, Strachan Me.Wm.Mann, Mr.C.F.Smith, Mr.T.Harling, and Mr.A.Piddington, directors, with Mr.W.D.Aird, as general manager and secrétary- treasurer.THE MONTREAL WAREHOUSING COMPANY.The Montreal Warehousing Company was incorporated in 1869.It provides terminal facilities or storage room for the Grand Trunk Railway Company at Montreal for grain and flour.e warehouse facing Wellington street has a capacity of 400,000 bushels of grain and 60,000 barrels of flour.The other, also a grain elevator, has a capacity of 600,000 bushels of grain.It is situated on Mill street.Both of these premises at certain seasons of the year are taxed to their utmost capacity, and are of the greatest value to the Grand Trunk Railway.In fact, such accommodation is an absolute necessity to an ocean port like Montreal.Mr.Charles M.Hays, general manager of the Grand Trunk Railway, is president of the company;

countries of the world.To supply machinery and other requisites for this great and growing industry, the Canadian Dairy Supply Company was organized in 1894 by the late Mr.Frank Wilson and Mr.Joseph Ward.The present members of the firm are Messrs.Joseph Ward and J.S.Clunie.The company\u2019s offices and warerooms are at 121 d\u2019Youville square, Montreal, where they keep a full supply of all kinds of machinery and utensils in use in butter and cheese factories.One of the most important processes in butter making is the separation of the cream from the milk.What is acknowledged to be the best machine for this purpose is known as the \u201c De Laval-Alpha \u201d Cream Separator.popularity is shown by the fact that there are not: less than 400,000 machines of this make in use to-day, of which number 150,000 were sold in the year 1901 alone, and of which Canada took a good share.The great demand for these separators is mainly due to the fact that they produce the most beneficial results for both farmers and fac- torymen.Another tribute to their worth is the fact that they are in unmi- versal use in the dairy schools throughout the Dominion, : .The \u2018 De Laval-Alpha\u2019

one of the most healthful countries in the world ; still, we sometimes get ill and need a physician, and he usually decides that some kind of medicne would do us good.So, until remedies are discovered and brought into use other than drugs we shall continue to patronize the drug store and be thankful for the relief we.obtain from the remedies about which there is so much debate and difference of opinion\u2014 not to mention results.The druggist and chemist, both wholesale and retail, are with us.The lines they deal in include many articles formerly not connected with their business, and, indeed, \u2018great changes have taken place in all departments of this profession in recent years, as in others.- Much has been .learned and no doubt we are served by the profession with.more intelligence and benefit than were our forefathers.\u2018While we cannot boast of the quan- .tity of jewellery manufactured in Can- .ada, we have nothing to be ashamed of \u2018in the matter of quality.The handiwork of our manufacturing jewellers is the admiration of visitors from all lands, and the sales of valuables in the line of diamonds, watches, ornaments and jewellery of all kinds, amounts to a large sum annually.The foundation of our jewellery trade was laid by men of honor and integrity, as well as skill, and the result is that, to-day, mail orders from foreign parts, as well as all over Canada, are received and filled with per- feet satisfaction by the manufacturers and dealers in our large cities.As will be observed in reading the accounts of the development of this line

housie and Common streets, and converted it into a plant for the manufacture of chemicals.: Through great competition, this firm has risen to its present eminence in the business world, and the name of Cowan\u2019s Montreal Chemical Works is a guarantee to the quality of its various products, ; Asking Mr.Cowan how he accounted for the firm\u2019s remarkable success, he replied that the firm had never spared ex- pensé or trouble in its efforts to obtain the best quality of chemicals possible, and had aiways acted on strict business principles.These works have been extended from time to time as the demands required, and the capabilities of this plant can not be surpassed in Canada.The chief article manufactured is ammonia, for which there is a large de mand in Montreal, and in the lower provinces.© Cowan\u2019s ammonia is fam ous in the above places and its good reputation is spreading rapidly.Another important article manufactured is sal soda, the demand for which has so increased that this plant is now being enlarged, as is also the plant for the making of soluble oil.Another important commodity is nitrate of iron, of which the firm is believed to be the only manufacturer in

years we were compelled to go abroad for our entire wants in our pharmaceutical business, whereas to-day, most of these lines are manufactured in this country.Foremost among these firms are Messrs.Charles E.Frosst & Co., Montreal, who, working on strictly ethical lines, have demonstrated that Canadian made pharmaceutical products can equal and even excel many of the foreign makes.The various.lines comprise Medicinal Elixirs, Syrups, Compressed Tablets, Soluble Elastic Capusles, Granular Effervescent Salts, Fluid Extracts, Lozenges and many specialties too numerous to specify.This firm emphasize the fact that their label is a guarantee that quality is the first consideration of all products leaving their laboratory.CANADA\u2019S CENTURY.The twentieth century is, undoubtedly, Canada\u2019s century.There are those who believe that more real advancement in all respects will be made in this country during the next generation than has been made during the past century.To bring people from the crowded cities and rural districts of the old world, and to ship our natural and manufactured products to foreign markets, will be among the undertakings requiring the attention of the Canadian transportation companies in the near future, HENRY BIRKS & SONS.Situated at the corner of St, Catherine street and Phillips square\u2014the commercial centre of Montreal\u2014is the well- known store \u2018of Henry Birks & Sons, manufacturing jewellers, gold and silversmiths, diamond merchants, ete.It is an attractive spot alike for the citizen of moderate means, the owner of an uptown mansion and the wealthy tourist.It is one of Montreal\u2019s world-famous spots.Their manufacturing department turns out the finest jewellery, cop- per-plate engravings, silverware, cut glass and electro-plated ware to be got in the Dominion, and these goods, together with diamonds, watches, clocks, fancy leathers, embossed stationery and many other articles may be seen in the elegant cases and specially constructed shelving of their large and magnificent store.The store was recently enlarged, giving about double the space previously occupied, al being on the ground floor.About one hundred hands are regularly employed by this firm, and nearly double that number during the winter holiday season.Their goods go all over Canada and to a large extent to England and the United States.The demand for this firm\u2019s goods in Ottawa, the Canadian Capital, led to the establishment, there, some time ago, of a branch store.During the last five years this firm\u2019s business has increased so greatly that they have become the largest retail jewellery maufacturing firm on the American continent, with one exception (New York).Artis- tie design, thorough workmanship, and honest values have been made by this firm compatible with reasonable prices.Henry Birks & Sons\u2019 diamond trade now exceeds that of any similar house in the Dominion.Their mail order business is enormous, the established reliability of the firm gives out-of-town customers absolute confidence in their business transactions and equal advantages with those who can personally inspect their goods.Their catalogue which is issued every fall, will be sent to intending customers, on application, and will furnish all desirable information.The members of the firm are Messrs.Henry Birks, Wm.M.Birks, J.Henry Birks, B.A.Sc., and Gerald W.irks.MILLER & BREMNER.The firm of Miller & Bremner, manufacturing jewellers, of 2325 St.Catherine street, Montreal, is ome that by careful attention to business, honorable dealing with customers and up-to-date enterprise,has gained a continental reputation that any business house might covet.The business was established by them on Bleury street, in 1872.In course of time it was found necessary to move to larger premises up town, and the property at present occupied by the firm was purchased and handsomely fitted up.Their factory is at 118 Mansfield street.Here a large staff of skilled workmen are constantly employed turning out some of the finest samples of work known to the jeweller\u2019s art.The growth of their business since moving to St.Catherine street has been phenomenal and the firm are now considering the question of further extending their premises.Their repair department is one of the best equipped shops in Canada.They carry one of the most carefully selected stocks in Montreal, comprising the best lines of clocks, watches, gold and silver ware, diamonds and precious stones, cut glass, leather goods and innumerable fancy articles, such as are to be found in a first class jewellery store.The firm do a large wholesale and mail order business besides their regular retail trade.The firm sell large quantities of goods to customers throughout Canada and the United States, where they have established a reputation for integrity as well as for the superior quality of their goods.Visitors to Montreal are always welcome to inspect their large and varied stock.Messrs.David Miller and James Brem- ner, the present members of the firm are experienced and practical men, thoroughly conversant with every department of the business and the requirements of their customers whose interests they are _constantly studying and anticipating.MR.RICHARD HEMSLY: One of the most attractive busy St.James street, bao Loom by

in importance to her ntold wealth in the productive soil.: seems almost impossible to realize se limits of the Dominion\u2019s agricultural ;velopment.There are hundreds of housands of acres of the most produc- | sive soil awaiting merely the coming of Le husbandman, and it will produce «iandard food products of the very high- \u201cst grade procurable in the markets of \u201cie world.For not only is the soil -xceptionally rich, but the climate is >xtraordinarily propitious, for Canada\u2019s inters, with their weeks of snow and ost, are really kindly aids to the hus- tandman, the frost holding within the soil all the soluble nitrates, which, elsewhere, the winter rains wash rapidly «ut.The snow blanket protects everything beneath it.It is a fact not generally understood that there is more wheat- crowing land north of St.Paul, Minn, than south of it, and a country, too, free from the devastating cyclone.South of our great Arctic region our farming isnd stretches right across the continent in a great belt as wide as France, and 3,500 miles long, broken only by a few mountains and a few hundred miles of unavailable prairie.And soit comes that Canada is the producer of the best grain and roots in the world.| Farming operations are carried on in Manitoba and the North-West Territories on a most extensive and elaborate scale, the most modern appliances, including steam threshers, being almost universally used.In the ploughing and harvesting seasons gangs of a dozen or twenty ploughs and reapers\u2018are frequently seen at work together on the same great field.The output of wheat in the prairie provinces has developed wonderfully and the railways and grain shipping companies have had difficulty in keeping their facilities\u2014grain elevators, ete.,\u2014up to the requirements of the trade.Over forty-five per cent.of the population of Canada are engaged in agricultural occupations, and much attention is given by the government ro the various branches.Here and there over the country are established agricultural colleges and government experimental farms, and the Minister of Agriculture is himself an expert farmer.THE TENDERLOIN OF CANADA-B } BERT 5 nly Feel Rh UNCH OF CATTLE ON ONE OF ALAS GREA T RANCHE PAL Bh Peas are remarkably free from insect .pests, and split-peas for soup, green peas for vegetables and sweet peas for canning are obtained in perfection.The export of peas during three years is as follows: \u2014Jn 1889, $1,955,598; in 1900, $2,145,471; in 1901, $2,490,521.Barley and rye are grown, but not largely for food purposes.Buckwheat flour is largely used in maple sugar districts, where a delicious breakfast dish is buckwheat cakes and maple syrup., All vegetables thrive well everywhere, ! even in the Klondike.As a country for raising cattle, swine, sheep and poultry, Canada has no _superior.From the prairies of the North- West Territories thousands of fat bullocks are shipped annually.The government controls the cattle spaces on the ships, and governmem.veterinary inspection prevents the export of any but perfect animals.The value of the live cattle exports for three years is as follows: \u20141899, $8,522,835; 1900, $9,080,- 776; 1901, $9,064,562.The export of sheep and lambs for three years amounts to, in 1899, $1,540, 847; 1900, $1,894,012; 1901, $1,625,702.Of pork, hams and bacon, regular supplies are shipped from Canada during every week of the whole year.In 1898 the value of the total exports was $8,092,930; in 1899, $10,473,211; in 1900, $12,803,034; and in 1901, $11,838,121.The use of mechanical refrigerating plants makes it possible to deliver the bacon in European markets with a minimum quantity of salt, and of a mild and delicious flavour.Poultry and eggs, which are produced in every province, form a large part of | our experts, and Canadian eggs are 1n especially high favor with European importers, being large and strong of shell, and so sorted and packed for shipment as to be landed in Europe practically fresh.In 1898 the value of the exports was $i,255,- PLOUGHING IN ASSINIBOIA\u2014A GLIMPSE FROM THE WINDOW OF A \u2019 C.P.R.TRAIN.In wheat

the best Hungarian and Canadian flours, showed that in the Canadian flour the alluminoids (flesh-forming principles) were greater by one-tenth.Another test was made, at Professor Robertson\u2019s request, by a 1eliable firm of bakers, which shewed that from three different 100 Ib.samples of strong Canadian flour they got 146 Ibs., 151 Ibs., and 152 lbs.respectively of excellent bread, which is more than could be got from any other flour.The milling industry is a large one, not less than 2,500 mills being at work, employing over 6,000 men.The following is a table showing the values of the wheat and flour exported from Canada during the years 1899, 1900, and 1901:\u2014 Wheat exported in 1899, $7,784,487; in 1900, $11,995.488; in 1901, $6,871,939.Flour exported in 1899, $3,105,288; in 1900, $2,791,885; in 1901, $4,015,226.Of oats large crops are grown, and Canadian catmeal is equal to the best in Scotland.Large quantities of rolled vats and oat flakes are also made.\"and grapes.304; in 1899, $1,267,163; in 190v $1,407, 902; and in 1901, $1,834,720.Canadian cheddar is our chief cheese export.It is essentially a food cheese, and its food value is 2% times as great as beefsteak.The following figures give an idea of the rapid growth of our exports: 1890, $9,372,212; 1899, $16,776,765; 1900, $19,856,324; 1901, $20,696,951.Butter is almost altogether made in creameries by skilled labor.These creameries are provided with special cold storage rooms in which the butter is kept from the day it is made, when, packed in spruce boxes, lined with parchment paper, it is carried to its destination in refrigerator cars and in the cold storage chambers of steamships.The value of the exports for four years, was: 1898) $2,046,686; 1899, $3,700,8:3; 1900, $5,122,- 156; 1901, $3,295,663.: Hundreds of square miles are devoted to the growth of apples, pears, peaches The apples and pears are noted \u2018for their crisp, juicy flesh, high flavor and excellent keeping qualities.At the Paris Exposition, Canadian apples were shown during the summer, which had been grown the summer previous, and all in perfect condition.In evaporated and canned fruits an increasing trade is being developed with Europe.Honey is one of our minor food products, but our exhibit at the Paris Exposition showed that Canadian honey, in substance, color and flavor, was unsurpassed.THE GOLDEN HARVEST OF A MANITOBA PRAIRIE FARM.THE WITNESS Crd The \u2018Witness\u2019 (Daily and Weekly) gives all the news that is worthy the attention of the average readsr.It keeps its

jealous enough.A newspaper published on the \u2018Witness\u2019 lines needs the support of those who are willing to pay its subscription price for the reason that it voluntarily foregoes in the

enterprises of greater or lesser magnitude are known of by pretty nearly everybody.Others of equal or greater importance are sel dom spoken or written of because they appeal directly to a much smaller number of persons, and because they extend largely outside of their own couniry.Amongst the latter is the Linotype Company of Montreal, and it seems in place in this resume of the business enterprises associated with Montreal to give a brief history of its * growth and progress since its inception in 1891.The Linotype is, as its name implies, a machine for casting letters line by line.It,asfar as its use extends, does away entirely with the moveable types, representing single hand, that marvellous discovery of four : centuries ago, which revolutionized the art of writing.The Linotype is a machine composed of some mine thousand pieces, and in the multiplicity of its automatic actions is the wonder of machines.Thé operator, seated at a keyboard, by the simple manipulation of ihe keys and the depression of a lever, turns out line after line of matter, ready for the press, faster than it can be written by hand, and at about one-quarter the speed it is uttered by the ordinary speaker.The : letters, set by : \u2018Globe\u2019 office some years ago.words on this page are composed by this machine, as has been most of the reading matter in the \u2018Witness\u2019 for eight years past.In 1891, when the enterprise of building the Linotype was entered on in Canada, the machine was practically unknown.To-day there are some 10,000 of these machines in use throughout.the world, being manufactured in the United States, England, Germany and Canada.The sales of these machines in these eleven years has exceeded thirty million dollars ($30,000,000).This enterprise, there- \u2018fore, is probably unique in two particulars.Probably no _invention so intricate, so far reaching in its effects, so perfect, had ever been given to the UNIVERSAL MILLING MACHINES.type composition reduced to less than half what it was previously, with a corresponding reduction in incidental expenses.Of course the attempt to build such an intricate machine, and one requiring such exactness, was looked upon -as an impossibility in Canada, and the enterptise considered as a mad one.It was agreed that Canada did not have the tools mor men capable of building a machine, weighing \u2018a.ton, with more than seven thousand working parts, most of which could not vary more than the thickness of a hair from the proper size to give satisfactory results.This argument did not seem unreasonable, especially when it was considered that at that time no machine of its class had been satisfactorily finished in England, although the work on it had been begun some eight months previous to the establishment of the factory in Canada, and that none up to that time had been built in the United States at a cost which did not greatly exceed the price at which it must be sold to obtain a market at all.It was answered, however, by four facts.; It was believed that the machine.made a perfect produet; that it was faster than it was possible for men to manipulate it; that Canadian workmen had as good brains and as great skill as could be found anywhere on earth, although far too many of them, at that time especially, public in so complete a condition.The ; had transferred their skill and brains first

| With these facts well established Toronto ; the enterprise was begun, first in a modest little factory in a yard behind some modest shops in Bleury street.When the first machines were built no

months before have been increased, his hours of the four points, on the firm belief in labor reduced, while at the same time which the enterprise was undertaken, the employer has had the cost of \u2018 were established to the satisfaction of the most doubting, and the business became a success, almost from the beginning.As stated above, the first machine built was a success, although not as refined as those built to-day are, and lacking many advantages and improvements adapting it to uses at that time unthought of.But it accomplished all and much more than was claimed for it.One very important feature in connection with this machine is that notwithstanding the very large number of parts in the machine and the \u2018multiplicity of duties it performs, each individual motion is of the simplest, and now that the machine has become known it can be operated practically continuously without the assistance of a skilled mechanic.Probably to-day as many machines are operated by operators alone as by operators with the aid of a machinist.In less than five years the accommodation became too small, and the factory was removed to its present home at 156 St.Antoine street, just midway between the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacifie Railway stations.It uti- lizes 26,000 feet of floor space, which is crowded with expensive machinery, and we are informed that plans are already out for adding to the premises so as to find room for the ever increasing requirements of this rapidly growing business.Ten years ago the uses which the Linotype could be put to legitimately appeared to be very limited, being confined, apparently, to the setting of newspapers; but to-day it is entering into practically all forms of printing, and the machines made in Montreal are beginning to go to pretty nearly all quarters of the globe.Already machines made in Montreal are setting books and newspapers in the leading enterprising printing offices in the Transvaal Colony, Orange River Colony, Natal and Cape Colony in South Africa; in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Chili in South America, and operating in Australia and in Holland.In each of these places the Linotype has carried the Canadian name and advertised the value and importance of Canadian manufactured goods, and the work seems hardly begun.One feature of this factory is the making of its own \u2018special tools, such as jigs, dies and form cutters, and the TOOL ROOM.like; It built its only special tools for the construction of the machine, some of which are illustrated on this page, and will appeal to the trained mechanical eye.This work having been completed, the very important tool room, a picture of whick is also given, offer {facilities to Ghnadian manufacturers who desire special tools which heretofore had to be purchased in other countries.This department also affords to inventors opportunities for perfecting machines of various kinds which hardly can be exceeded anywhere, and which they have not been slow to discover.Moreover, with facilities afforded by the tool room of the Linotype Company, it is unnecessary now to send to the United States for special milling cutiers and surface and circular grinding of any kind and pay the duty thereon.To return to the Linotype: amongst the improvements recently added to this machine is the one which enables two or more kinds of type to be made from the one keyboard, without an instant\u2019s delay.For example, an PE FIRE PROOF TOOL VAULT.operator can sit at his keyboard and set and cast a line on which may be Roman capitals Roman lower case, small capitals, italie capitals, and italic lower case at will, by the pressing of a lever and without rising from his seat.Or the fonts on the one keyboard may be, say, antique capitals, antique lower case, and Roman capitals and Roman lower case.The day this was written the writer saw performed on the machine what appeared to him a marvellous feat, although, as a fact, it was simply a commonplace to the operator.He has passing through the Linotype factory in company with His Britannic Majesty\u2019s Consul for Curocoa, a Dutch island in the West Indies, who wished to have his name set on the machine.The name was set in a black letter and cast, and then, without being reset, it was cast in old style Roman capitals and sent off for distribution.Another very important improvement is the universal mould.In the early history of the Linotype it was necessary that every length of line cast on any particular type should have a separate mould for this purpose, which was provided at considerable cost.This system had one im- \u2018cpposite direction.portant drawback: when the length of line had to be changed the mould had to be removed.It was not always sure to be returned in the same position, if the operator were at all careless, so that there was danger that the lines cast \u2018at one time should be higher than those cast at another.Now the one mould does the whole business, and never leaves the machine.So that there is no excuse for lines being cast at different heights, But by far the greatest advance in the machine as used to-day, is not found in anyim- provement, but in the gradual growth of adaptations for different purposes, the result of courage and experience.Ten years ago if any selling agent of the machine should have suggested a tenth of the adaptations of the machine as made to-day, he would have been considered unworthy of belief, and the manufacturer, himself, would not have extended him any sympathy.To-day he is asked if the Linotype will not do things which frighten him, and which implies that the pendulum has swung to the Users of the machines in progressive offices have un limited confidence in what it will ac complish.This may be illustrated by one fact.The specimen book of Linotype faces issued this month contains no less than 111 pages filled with specimens of type and necessary information.It shows fonts in every language in the world that is printed with Roman char acters, besides German fonts and even Hebrew, which last is set from right to left.The fullest type foni= in the world are at the disposal of th Linotype operator.And, wonderful fact, while the Lin» type, as now built, is undoubted: much nicer and more perfect _ ui chanically than the one first built.is not capable of doing better wvi' or more work than the first one turn ed out in the Montreal factory.whic\u201d.is now doing its full quota of woi every day.And it is an importar\" fact that every improvement mid: to the

Progression\u201d to the latter.In\u2019 his opinion there is no \u201cdifférence in i the: capacity of the workmen of the\u2019 \u2018two haracters of the employers.- The n \u2018mem: bers \u201cof\u201d Bi \u2018commission: \u2018agree: with him, minister\u2019s would be, if that word applies.( «labor: représentatives \u2018have finished .their- * su ate pt the Australian that he knows by bitter experience that to his employer.he-is- bit a machine to be ground down to the lowest.possible wagd., .He knows fhat any special effort hé may make will meet with-no.re- sponge.In the United States, on- the contrary, Mr.Flynn found that the employer\u2018i in okt\u2019 cases: is the friend and co- workér of his employee, who khows that his efforts are\u2019sire to mest \u201cwith a response from the head of.the concern for.which he works.Thus the incentive to higher effort, altogether absent in\u2019 the case of the British = workman, \u2018is constantly present with the American workman.This \u2018presentation of \u2018ths relations between masters and workers in the two countries goes to\u2018 show that British .employers have something to learn from their American competitors, ! and -it would: seem that.they are just learn what they can.Incidentally and \u2018quite unexpectedly the correctness of the conclusions, stated by Mr.Mosely ' and the members of his commission .has been.proved by the action of the Ameri can Electrical Company in Manchester.It offered :highér wages to skilled workmen than the English companies were paying, and thus drew the best men into its sefvic2, to the intense disgust:of other concerns, but with the result of much greater efficiency in its operations and \u2018superiority in its product.This meth- of employees, an object lesson in which l'has thus been brought, under the noses never dreamt of by him.We do not®f British masters of industry, contains thd lesson which Mr.Mosely and his fellow-répresentatives think is the \u2018secret of American success in business and \u2018manufacturing enterprise, > Ready for Santa Claus.The children are interested as to when Santa Claus comes to our store.We've already had two messages from him stating that he is on his way and will be here in a few days.The children as well as Santa Claus will be delighted at the appearance of the beautiful \u2018Beaucage\u2019 we have prepared for his receptions.We intend giving the children the chance of procuring a souvenir of Santa Claus Village that will delight them.For further details read our ad.in next Tuesday\u2019s \u2018Star .THE HAMILTON COMPANY, St.Catherine and Peel Streets and Dominion Square, EE ONLY $12.GOLD Filled Waltham atches, warranted to wear 25.years, Ladies\u2019 Solid à 14 karat Gold Huntin Wal- B18.00 .- puss 323 a free Ladics\u2019 Solid Silver Watches from: sa.00 en's Sold Silver Watches 3 from 84.50, P.8.BARTLETT, 17 Jewels Adjusted Movement, solid ig silver ABE, .a.eevseereeiereannse - Gold Fillod.uvcreunre oe 315.00 D.BEATTY, .| Manufacturing Jeweller and Importer 137 8T.PETER 8T,, opp.\u2018Witness\u2019 Offices Open till TEN p.m.during December.Now is the Time | oy x STORM COAT, 18 Ang perd bares ss Toe ;

one can never tell until the annual meeting 15 held.As for the Cornwall apnijication far ~A- mission to senior honors, its has been insinuated that the Factory Jown people should get out and capture the intermediate honors.It will pot be surprising, however, il something strange happens at the meeting on Saturday next.\u201d « STIRLING HOCKEY CLUB Th: Stirling Hokey Club will -hol1 its day evening, Dec.8, at 8 o'clock.Judging by the interest taken in this event, the Stirlings ought to have a very successful evening, especially\u2019 as they have Fred.Hickey, A.Moir, J.Donnelly and & Quigley on the programme.George Kennedy, champion lightweight wrestler of America, will also give an exhibition of wrestling, lasting twenty minutes, with his partner.MAY YET GO 10 PITTSBURG.IT IS BELIEVED THAT CERTAIN MONTREAL PLAYERS WILL LEAVE SHORTLY FOR ACROSS THE LINE\u2014AN INTERESTING \u201cSTATEMENT.\u201d \u2018 Nothwithstandihg the personal denials made by certain members 2f tae Montreal hockey club regarding their removal to Pittsburg ir the near futura, the \u2018Witness\u2019 bas it on the best of authority that there is every possibility of one or mora of the champion seven leaving any Jnomeént to reside across the line.A prominent member of the team, whose name is only withheld from publication, Upon special request, said.last evening, in conversation with the \u201cWithess\u2019 representative, that if the Pittsburg people accept-\" ed the conditions made to them during the past few days the Montreal club would undoubtedly lose some of its players.before the regular hockey season of the CARL.opeaded in this city.Further conversation _ elicited the - fact.that on Wednesday last, a final\u2019 \u201coffer, was.city | mmediately, but To rep) \u201cthat : less the Pittsburg club or \u201cgive \u2018him a.certain guarantee for a number of years as regards a lucrative position he.would be compelled to refuse the \u2018last and final offer, as his situation -in Montreal wus quite satisfactory to him for the present, at least.However, the player in question would: not deny that: he.was not likely.to leave for Pittsburg shortly, and it mdy be de- rended upon that he will do so if he receives a favorable reply from across the line to the conditions under which he will consent to leave Montreal.However, he has promised to give the \u2018Witness\u2019 full particulars when the proper time comes, and /&s he remarked, \u2018When 1 leave Montreal.if I do, will not be afraid tn let my friends know of my determination to do so.\u2019 ST.LAWRENCE CURLERS.The St.Lawrence Curling rink, situated on Upper St.Urbain street, has now two \" excellent sheets of ice, and it is quite natural to expect that the members of.this -young and ambitious rink, are anxiously - awaiting the command to \u2018sweep \u2018er up.\u2019 It is expected with favorable weather thut tbe first club match of the searon wliil be played \u2018on Monday evening next.A special meeting of the club was held at the club parlors, when preliminary ar- rengements for the season were all satisfactorily arranged.Thé officers of the club are desirous that the members get to work at once so that all unfinished natches left over (rom last season,.and the new.ones for (Lis, winter may be commenced at the earliest possible date.\u2018the interior of-the rink prôper, and especially the club parlors, have bcen tastefully decorated and renovated for the reception and accommodati {.membders and their frienés during the winter svsñon.\u2014 O.R.F.U.AMENDMENTS.The following are the amendments to the playing rules, onstitution and feguia- tions and rules which will be submitted to the annual meeting of the O.R.F.U., to be \u2018held in the Rossin House, Toronto, this\u2019 aftercoon: Amendments to playing rules: 1.;

It was the Gospel of ind and of humanity.To him religion covered everything that concerned the welfare of man.Every great social question was handled from that platform.And he taught the band of workers who gathered round him to put this evangel into practical shape.The mission ager- cies were an incessant conspiracy against every form of vice and wrong.and mis: ery.Backed by his devoted wife and his whole-hearted coadjutors, he brought into action the best methods which the church of all ages had devised for reaching the poor, the needy and the lost.He combined the Protestant Gospel with the Sisterhoods of a St.Vincent de Paul.A corner of London which seemed given over to world, flesh and devil became the constant witness of miracles of healing and redeeming love._ Hugh Price Hughes leaves one legacy to the world, which is not likely to fade away\u2014the phrase \u2018Nonconformist Conscience\u2019 He invented or coined the phrase at the time of the Parnell-Q\u2019Shea scandal, when in \u2018trumpet- tones he de: clared that the Nonconformist Conscience would not believe that what is morally wrong can be politically right.Hugh Price Hughes may be forgotten, but his hrase\u2014Nonconformist Conscience\u2019\u2014will ive, .Hugh Price Hughes's career as temperance reformer began at the age cf five, when attending the wedding of a nurse, he knocked out of the bridegroom\u2019s hand a loving-cup which he was passing to the bride, and declared that \u2018such nasty stuff.should not be given to his Charlotte.\u2019 The \u2018British Weekly\u2019 says editorially: \u2018His death is almost the greatest bereavement that could have befallen Ncncon- formity.Others carry and will continue to carry the banner, but no one can quite take his place.By, many years of strenuous and \u201cunceasing toil he had gained the ear of England, \u2018and upon vast sections of the people he had an tn-|.rivalled influence.He saw that the working classes were becoming alienated from the churches.He saw that the Christian Church had to deal with this life as well as with the next, that the social problem could not be evaded without dereliction of duty and the sacrifice of souls.The sullen and alienated democracy had to be met upon their own ground.Mr.Hughes did his very best, and perhaps no Christian minister in éur time has done more.He perceived that SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1002.: 60> : Mr.Hughes was a born deader, -thére sailed'into Swansea bay a fleet of ZC sa the \u2018North-Western Advocate.\u201d The qualities which distinguished him in mature life were manifest even in childhood.\u201d He.was born at Carmarthen, Wales, on Feb.8, 1847.His _ grand: father, Hugh Hughes, was a distinguish- man ever elected a member of the From him Mr.Hughes inherited his power in preaching.\u201cThe father of Hugh Price Hughes was_a practicing surgeon in Carmarthen.His wife, the mother of Hugh Price Hughes, was the great- granddaughter of a Jew named Levy, Whose son became a Christian and took the name of Phillips.From his mother, it is believed, Price Hughes inherited his intense interest in social questions, which has always been a distinguishing trait of Jewish character.In infaney .Hughes was taught to pray.and from early childhood to the day of his death he believed in the power of prayer and that God answered prayer.2 made it the habit of his life to pray atcut everything.When he.was about five years of age his sister Bessie was taken suddenly ill.It was observed br the family that Hugh was missing\u2019 an search was made for him.While walking through the- corridor searching for him,.his mother- heard a little \u2018 voice.pleading: \u2018Please, God, don\u2019t take Bessie from me Please, God, leave sister with me!\u2019 When nine years of age Hugh was sent to a boarding-school in Swansea, which school a few years later was removed to Thistleboon house, the Mumbles.The master was Mr.J.R.D.Col- ston, a Wesleyan local preacher.At this period Hugh was so delicate, his mother feared he would never grow to manhood.While in this school young Hughes began to display that disputatious disposition which in later years often aroused antagonisms to himself and his work.He was a genuine boy, froliesome in disposition and active in all rts.When he was thirteen years old Cornish fishing-boats, which .carried many Methodist fishermen.They attended the meetings held in the little \u2018Wesleyan chapel, and young Hughes was greatly impressed by their enthusiasm, the heartiness of their singing and the fervor -of their prayers.Mr.Hughes said he was convicted of sin about that time through general influences, but the visit of these godly fishermen brought things to à crisis: For weeks he was in deep spiritual distress.One day, while walking with Mr.George Leaker, one of the tutors, they fell into conversation about religion, apd Mr.Leaker was moved to urge young Hughes to a decision for Christ, which he made.He did not \u2018at that time, however, receive the witness of \u2018the Spirit.This came later during a service led by a layman named Captain Knapp: Captain Kaapp had recently come from America on a visit to his friends, and was pressed into service that day.Mr.Hughes did not\" know the preacher nor did .he afterward remember text, but he distinctly remembered that the.substance of the sermon was: \u2018I have no time to give you a definition of regeneration,.justifeation or sanctification, but\u2019 I cin sum ip everything in one word\u2014tubmit, to Christ.\u2019 Mr.Hughes submitted to\u2019 \u20achrist, and of tHe experience which came to him that moment he writes: It seemed as.if a great light suddenly shone on my dark eart and an assurance was given me that God accepted \u2018me through Jesus Christ.I was so happy that,\u201d whether\u2019 I walked home or floated through the air T cannot say.It was a lovely Sunday evening in June.That night Mr.Leak- er read the story of the Crucifixion \u2018from the narrative given by St.Matthew.As I listened to it and realized for the first time that he suffered this for me, I burst: into tears and wept for very joy.\u2019 Happy in the possession of his new experience, the boy at once desired fo téll the story to others and started a prayer-meeting with \u2018his schoolmates in his bedroom.He also engaged in the distribution of tracts.He called one day on an old woman who lived in a cottage near the school, and asked her if she would permit him to conduct a service in her cottage.She consented, and he began gathering a congregation for -his first - cottage service.He war at this time but fourteen years of age and short of stature.The congregation consisted of two boys from the school, who assisted in the service, and six or seven old people: He stood on the cottage floor, before a table spread with a white cloth and illuminated by two tallow candles, and took for his text: \u2018This is a faithful saying and worthy of into the world to save sinners\u2019 The \u2018message found in this text is the epitome | of his lifework.Mr.Colston, who \u2018was present, severely criticised the sermon, but he predicted: \u2018That boy will one day be president of the Conference\u201d \u201chis service impressed young.Hughes himself that God meant him to be a preacher, and soon after he.wrote.the fol- owing laconic letter to his-father: | \u2018My Dear Father,\u2014I-believe \u2018that it is the will of God that I should be a Methodist preacher.Your affectionate son, letter: : \u2018My Dear Boy,\u2014I would rather you be a Methodist preacher than the I - \u2018cellor of England.a.van (ae lo chan \u2018Your affectionate father % duc \u201cJOHN HUGHES.Previous to the ipt of \u201cthe son\u2019 letter the fether had intended te torts him for the bar.Though only\u2019 fourteen if the workers of the country were to be gathered, the Church must give them the services of her best men and her \u2018best 1 buildings.He saw that Nonconformity ; ing, at 6 o\u2019clock in the morning, in Wes- could never prosper unless .its.central church in every great towr was-à churek of

insurance among fishermen.Thus we were able to insure the lives.of the crew of a vessel against loss of life at sea, irrespective of their name and personal identity.This enabled an owner to insure

\u2018as: elge- where, it isthe \u2018aim of the Arm to, inculcate strong \u201cmoral responsibility, and not to; treatiits units as\u2019 children\u2019 or persons \"of: limited capacity.This | recognition of God-implanted instincts hus lifted many a man- and woman.from the mire, and is undoubtedly: one: of the secrets of the Army\u2019s success.From\u2019 Victoria \u2018House we \u2018visit - the | brickfields, \u2018of \u201cwhich there: are three,\u2019 \u201cAs -ouë: splendid : material, |' all turning : which-.finds an \u201cimmediate: market: W.BJs bricks axe \u2018reliable.stuff.This branch of -the \u2018work\u2019 is facilitated: .by: \u2018the -Army\u2019s boat at the Army's \u2018whatt Nl to which a light railway runs, thus.minimizing \"the cost iof \u2018 the: railway | man transit.\u2018Then a walk along the \u201cbrow: of the hill past.the;
