The name of one of Ingersoll’s leading stores, that of the Nnbor- hood Shoe Store, is being changed this week and will, in future,, be known as The Maher Shoe Store. This local store is one of a group of 45 shoe stores that has taken the name “Maher” in honor of the presi­ dent and general manager of the company, James Patterson Maher. The name, “Maher” is one which has meant much in the progressive management aqd steady grow tn of this chain of shoe stores operated throughout Canada for some time part under the name of Naborhood Shoe Stores, and it is most fitting that it should take the name of Mr. Maher, as it was under his leadership that this group of shoe stores has grown to a size and importance fore­ most in the Dominion. Commencing to-day the slore will | be known as The Maher Shoe Store. It was opened a little over a year ago and is located at 140 Thames s-treet, between Greenaway’s Groceteria and the T. N. Dunn hardware. A spec­ ial advertisement appears in this week’s issue of The Tribune announ­ cing the change of name from Na­ borhood to Maher Mr. Maher is another example of a Canadian who first saw the light of day in this province and who has be­ come a miccassful business leader. He was bom at Picton, Ontario, of Irish parents. That, it seems, is a good combination. From the time .when, at an eariy age, Mr. Maor.i en­ tered the shoe business as a junior, his keen ability, insight, and initia­ tive, together with a genial Irish personality, have brought him steady advancement. “ branch of the business—designing, manufacturing and selling, making himself the best informed ' and most capable man in the Reli- j ance Shoe Company Limited, it wa? 1 inevitable that he become president; . and that is just what happened. 1 As president of the Reliance ’ Shoe Company Limited, Mr. Maher had the vision to see the possibility of a group of retail stores as outlets ' for his company’s products. The ,Maher Shoe Stores as they exist to^ ’ day are the result, firat, of Mr. Maher’s imagination, and second, of ’ his initiative in making his dreams come true. Mr. Maher saw that a neighbor- , hood shoe store, situated close to the homes of the .buying public, could (perform a particular and personal , service and thus compete successfully , with all rivals, large and small. The success and steady growth of his huge group of shoe stores is ample evidence af the truth of his beliefs and of the soundness of his' policy of supplying shoes direct from fac­ tory to feet, thus radically reducing shoe prices to the public. Mr. Maher sees that has stores are staffed by 1 experts—men and women who know both shoe stylo end scientific shoe * fitting,cated in districts where housewives do their daily household shopping— ready at all times to stand behind and give service on the footwear they sell. Founded in 1911, the Reliance Shoe Company Limited has grown from a smell beginning to a position of leadership in the Dominion of Canada, distributing quality shoes for men, woman and children from coast to coart. With its tremendous tfaily capacity the company controls the manufacture in Canada of such well-known brands of shoes as The Miss Enid Fissette of Cayuga, is holidaying with friends in Ingersoll. Kenneth Tnylor of Detroit, was a week-end visitor with relatives in Ingersoll. Mr. and Mrs. Forest Gould spent the week-end in Port Burwell.

With so much quality merchandise and with the good will of the shoe buying public, the Maher Shoe Stores under the continued able manage­ ment of Mr. Maher, are assured of as great success in the future as this or­ ganization has enjoyed in the part. Mr. Everett Trotter, who for the past two months has been in charge of the locijl Naiborhood Snoe Store, will continue as manager of The Maher Shoe Stare. Mr. Trotter has had five years’ experience in the shoe business, joining the Maher or­ ganization when they opened their Woodstock store in 1931. He is a native of Woodstock and for the part few years previous to his transfer to Ingersoll, was assistant manager of the Woodstock store. He attended the American School of Practipedics which is the science of correct’y diagnosing and correcting all foot ailments. During his brief residence in Ingersoll, Mr, Trotter has made for himself a large nuniber of friends in the community. His courteous and pleasant manner and his desire to please has made many nqw cus­ tomers for the store since his ap­ pointment as manager. He has as his assistant, a local young man in 'the person of Jack VanNormnn, who was employed iby the Ingersoll store shortly after its opening here. Mr. Trotter extends to the public a cor­ dial invitation to visit the new Ing­ ersoll Maher Shoe Store, at 140 Thames street, which is one of the most modern in the district and carries a complete line of men’s, women’s and children's footwear at modern prices.

VEALE, PublisherPHONESTribune Office, 13 - Residence, 442A.THURSDAY, JULY 16th, 1036 The Apprenticeship System Commenting editorially on the recent action of the Ontario Department of Labour in extending the ap­ prenticeship act to include the barbering and hair­ dressing trades, the Simcoe Reformer declares:— “No more important development could take place than a genuine return to the good old-fashioned ap­ prenticeship system which produced such valuable results a quarter century and more ago. Probably the Great War had as much to do with abandonment of that system as any other factor. During the war any youngster could secure a job at remunerative wages in munitior^actoriesr-ifllfifctrial plants and business offices. T raiding was muFessen- ial so long as the boy was mentally aRrt an/ physical­ ly competent The result was that youngsters in their early teens came to acorn the idea of laboring three or four years at a small salary in order to learn a trade. Once this abhorrence of apprenticeship was implanted in their minds, the germ spread rapidly and in the post-war years no concerted effort was made to revive the system. Rather the pufojic funds were plundered for building and equipping expensive tech- Vrical schools to teach young boys the rudiments of various trades and vocations. In their zeal to attain their objective, the educational authorities overlooked the fact that many of these boys could have learned those same trades more easily, thoroughly and inex­ pensively if they had become apprentices in factory or shop. They would have come to grips with a dis­ cipline lacking in the average school and they would have had a far better opportunity of making a place for themselves in the country's industrial life. Unfortunately, too, while the technical schools were fitting their pupils to make a living in the workaday world, along came the depression, with the result that today hundreds of graduates find themselves unable to secure iwork. Their education has cost the coun­ try many hundred.-, of dollars each ."•nd it is of no avail when they cannot find jobs. Meantime, with ’ the exception of a few lines of industry, the appren­ ticeship system had (become a thing of the past Boys preferred to take the job that would yield the most money, wen though of a temporary nature. Employ­ ers were forced to secure their skilled help where and when they could find it. Consequently it is encouraging to find that the government is fostering the idea of a return to ap­ prenticeship in trade and industry. Many of the ablest men in Canada today served a trade appren­ ticeship in their boyhood days. The most competent builders, the smartest railwaymen and the most skil­ ful printers, learned the rudiments in the right place and after years of arduous toil. Willingness to work, persistency and an alert mind will carry an ap­ prentice to the top of the ladder in any trade. Op­ portunities abound today for the skilled worker. For instance, in Simcoe today it is almost impossible to se­ cure the services of a painter, so great is the demand for their services*. How many boys are serving an apprenticeship in the painting trade in this or any other communities at the present time? How many are learning to lay brocks, to become automooile mechanics, to master the machinist’s trade or the in­ tricacies of radio? Truly we have been following a false trail where youth are concerned and the sooner we return to realities and place a true value upon the apprenticeship system, the sooner we will have solved one of the country’s most pressing problems.” Inspection of Milk Supply Source, Important Thousands of Ontario citizens are drinking unclean, germ-laden milk because of improper dairy inspect­ ion, is the charge made by Dr. Gordon Bates, general director of the Health League of Canada. This statement to our way of thinking is most true and despite the objection raised in some quarters to the Milk By-Law passed by the 1935 town council, we be­ lieve the by-law is one that is in the best interests of the town as a whole, in protecting Ingersoll people from the outbreak orf any serious epidemic that might be caused from contaminated milk.1 Dr. Bates backs up this contention with the state­ ment of W. H. Forster of Hamilton, president of the National Dairy .Council of Canada, who said of an Eastern town: “In my knowledge, in three years here, inspection of dairies has been made once. There are no inspectors apart from the medical officer of health. There is no inspection of milk from any of the distributors (whatever, for sediment or bacteria. Plant and dairy inspection is nil.” Dr. Bates also quoted criticism of milk inspection in a Western Ontario city: “The position-in reference to our city is that the milk inspector is a part-time man and needs other practice to make a living. He is a young man and would da good serrvioe, provided he had the backing, but in the past city councillors have not always taken the advice of the board of health. “We should demand that our milk producers re­ ceive proper inspection at the farm and that our milk dealers have (properly qualified plant operators, who can show certificates of efficiency from the provincial departments of agriculture or health aa may bo arranged. That this m not the case now, in a great many places, is easily seen when we find that the reg­ ular occupations «f part-time inspectors have been given as the town policeman, the janitor of the town haM, the garbage man and other working men about town called from various vocations.” “Why is it,” Dr. Bates demands,” that most of our population is exposed to the dangers of raw milk, which admittedly carries death-dealing disease; that much of our milk which we think is pasteurized is not pas- eurized; and that many of the inspectors who are sup­ posed to see that our milk is clean are not qualified? What m the reason that each a serious condition of affairs ehould ba allowed to continue? b it not, that we have not become educated to the idea that most Qlnera is preventable and that where it « not prevented it is ona of the greatest expanses borne by the unfortunate taxpayer? If we refuse to idadty health problem;* so our health machinery may be the best anywhere, the present intolerable coMfitions will continue. The expense of illness is greater than the expense of way itself. A bDBon and' a quarter dollars a year and we have not yet recognised that this reprtwentaa problem of national significance. The Dominion Housing ActThe action taken by the Ingcraoll Chamber ofCommence at the board of directors’ meeting lastweek in deciding to make application to the DominionGovernment to have Ingersoll recognized on the Dominion Housing Act should prove an incentive to m-arenre home budding in this community. This year to date there has been considerably more building activity both in the construction of new buildings and renovating end repairing old oncu than in some time past. If further construction activities can be promoted in town it will not only pro* ide work for many, who are at present unemployed, but it will prove a stimulus for increased business with the local building contractors, lumber merchanU and those supplying kindred lines used in the building industry. A very instructive article regarding the probable effect which the Dominion Housing Act will have on the building industry appeared in a current issue of the Canadian Bankers’ Association and it is repnntca below for the benefit of our readers. “This act consists of two parts, the first of which provides that an Economic Council may study and re­ port on housing in order to provide homes for the lorw-wajge group of citizens. Inasmuch as no council has yet been appointed this part of the Act has not accomplished anything. The second part of the Act, however, deals with the making of loans up to 80 per cant of the appraised value or cost of the property, whichever is the lower. Inasmuch as there are statu­ tory limitations which prescribe that life insurance companies and loan companies, which ordinarily pro­ vide the bulk of first mortgage money for constructing houses, can loan only 60 per cent, of the approved value of the property, the Government has undertaken to contribute 20 per cent, additional. The Government has taken this action with the hope of stimulating the building trade. Second mortgages have been very speculative investments, and as none of the loan, trust, or life insurance companies make such loans, that business has been kft Largely to in­ dividuals, with the result that the interest rates charges have ranged from ten par cent, upwards. Through the use of government funds the builders and the owners are saved a very appreciable sum of money, represented by the difference between five per cent, and the usual rate charged on second mort­ gages. In addition the costa of two mortgages are avoided. The Act was intended to stimulate the building industry in Canada, but apparently it has had little appreciable effect up to the present time, as loan companies have not been anxious to place further money on these projects. It may be, however, if the demand for building should arise that the pro­ visions of the Act may prove decidedly beneficial.’' Intelligent Buying Intelligent buying is a big factor in business today. People want to get full information about the thing they are doing. If they are going to handle money in­ telligently, they must know something about the things they are buying. That is ,why successful busi­ ness houses advertise, and give their customers some information about the goods they have to sell. People realize this and know they can buy most intelligently when they go to the places that have described their goods in advance in the newspapers. NOTES and COMMENTS London- shop for men displays pajamas with a small alarm clock inset in the breast pocket, says a cable. The Toronto Evening Telegram asks, “But how can the laundry run the ringer through the wringer?” “W» are the builders of satisfied homes,” says an advertiser in the Ottawa Citizen. “Milk from sat­ isfied cows” is an old slogan. But what does one get from satisfied homes? And what are they satis­ fied with? Their lot, no doubt. ' —--------—---------------------------------------------------------------j.

The pari-mutuel system of wagering will be in vogue. Racing was introduced at London last year after a lapse of many years and proved a pronounced suc­ cess. There were two meetings, each of seyen days' duration, but this year there will be just the one eessiou so this will (be the only opportunity of seeing the runners in action this year. In addition to the regular wager­ ing, there will be the daily double, for two dollars, on the first and second races. These doubles usually return worth while dividends and are very popular with race-goer.. The Orpen-Hare folks are the lead­ ing race track owners in Canada, other tracks belonging to them being Ihifferin Park and Long Branch in Toronto, and Kenilworth Park in Windsor.

IRENE COLE“Houtei a* Friends,” by Dorothy Pym, Toronto, iNdbon, |3.00. In "Houses us Friends,” Dorothy Pym has given charffung descriptions of the various Howkn which have formed the background of her life. There was the country house called “Picts' Barrow,” where she spent her childhood; an English country house called “'Harold Hall”; the cot­ tage in Kensington where Thackeray had once lived; and 'IBoleyn” again situated in the country and surroun­ ded by ite gardens and orchards. Woven in with the descriptions are quaint and amusing reminisce neo of the various periods in the author’s 4ife. Each house has its own per­ sonality well developed. The book is beautifully illustrated which makes it even easier for the rctader to feel their individuality. News and InformationFOR THE BUSY FARMERThe Farm Poultry FlockPoultry “ ladt definitely reco­gnized as one of the esjentiul depart­ments of every up-to-date farmwhere a program of mixed farming is carried on. Not only is it reco- gnired as a neoensary department of farm wetrte but more and more formqrs are coming to realize that for the capital invested and labor in­ volved there are few if any depart­ ments that give as high returns. For the mixed farm general purpose breeds such as the Plymouth Rocks, which are good (both for toying and for the production of market poul­ try, are recommended. _ A flock of a hundred such birds carefully man­ aged are returning to many a farmer a profit over cost of feed from |200 to ?500 a year, which is something not to be disdained by even the most successful farmers. Clover and Gra*a Seed* Reports from central Ontario in­ dicate that most of these seeds have moved from growers to the trade, largely to the local retail trade. Mast of the timothy seed in the St. Lawrence countiea has been sold. There still remains however, some 350,000 poumda. A fair quantity of timothy is still available in the lower Ottawa Valley. Growers in south-western Ontario still hold about one-half of the red clover and timothy crops, or 750,000 pounds and 2,000,000 pounds respectively. Buying by the wholesale trade has declined owing to large stocks se­ cured already- Most of the alfalfa, alsike, sweet clover and Canadian blue grass has been sold to the trade. It is expected that much of the timothy seed and perhaps some red clover will be carried over by growers to next season. Reports from north-western On­ tario indicate that there are at least 10,000 pounds of red clover and 15,000 pounds of alsike stall in grow­ ers’ hands as well as about 75 7o of the timothy or approximately 200, 000 pounds. Prices being paid growers, per poiund, basis No. 1 grades, are: For red clover in eastern Ontario, 12 to 13c; in south-western Ontario, 11 to The present acreage should'be naria tained with more attention gives to the improvement of quality aa4 yield per acre.” 15c; for alfalfa 12 to 16c; and alsike 16 to 18c; sweet clover 3 to 5c; tim­ othy 3 to 5c; timothy 3 to 6%c and Canadian blue grass 3% to 4c. Ontario** Barley Situation That barley is assuming a more important place in Canadian Agri­ culture and Canadian industry is evi­ denced by the fact that a National Barley Committee has ibeen set up and was in session in Toronto last week. With these facta in view, the following brief paragraphs from “The Ontario Agricultural Outlook for 1936’’ should be of special inter­ rat and value to Ontario farmers who are just now laying their plans for this year’s crop production. “The 1935 barley crop in Ontario was the largest since 1930 and is es­ timated at 16,841,000 bushels. In 1934 the production was 14,741,700 bushela. The acreage was increas­ ed from 484,900 acres to 523,000 and the field per acre at 3.22 bushels was 1-8 (bushels higher than in the previous year. The Canadian crop of 83,975,000 bushels is much higher, showing a gain of 20,233,000 bushels or 31.7% over 1934. From the 1936 Canadian crop about 9350,000 bushels were ex­ ported to the United States, whereas in the years 1930-35 inclusive the export bo this market was negligible. The average price being paid for the 1935 barley crop is 40 cents per tbushel conxpared wth 50 cents per bushel in 1934, There is a possible annual domes­ tic market for over 2,250,000 bush­ els of good clean malting barley. An increase in livestock holdings would create a demand for consid­ erable barley for feed. Barley yields well dn bushels per acre and it is a good crop with which to seed down. “The Last Puritan,” by George Savtayana, Toronto (MacMillan, 12.75. Although Processor Savtayana has written many philosophical books his novel, “The Last Puritan” is not an excuse for a pWtosaphical trea­ tise. There is sufficient action ana emotion portrayed to have placedthe book wefll up an the list of best sell­ ers and to have nece/Mitated a second large printing. The novel outlines the education and development of a superior young American, Oliver Alden from the time of his birth in 'Boston until his death after the Armistice. His reac­ tions to life and his gradual disillus- ionmenta ore vividly portrayed. There is humour and a deep under­ standing of the human heart in this outstanding novel. “Bobbtef” to gat were niece.

Tax Wnlpple and hla partner,Johnny Clahoe, ara cowpunchers em­ployed by San Juan Dalevan to tightthe rusuera and protect his interests. “Mama," chirruped Johnny, blow­ing on his knuckles. "That was shore a satisfaction. I been itchin’to do that all mornin’." “Heh—h,eh!” chuckled Tex cold­ ly. "Yuh shore rung up a bulls-eyethat time. kid. Go on Pink, yuh stick to Miss Ronny.” Spelle was gulping with fury and dismay. While Lange had been un­able to finish his statement he had let out enough to advise Spelle thatsomething was radically wrong con­cerning the Delevan mortgage. Inhis thwarted greed a modicum ofcourage returned to him and he ad­ vanced threateningly into the room."What’s this?” he rasped. “What’s this about the Delevan mortgage?” “Nothin’ much drawled Tex. “ ’Ceptin’ it's paid in full.” "What?” roared Spelle, his gaze working evilly. "I don’t want itpaid. I refuse to accept payment for it.”"Yuh’re plumb out o’ luck, hom­bre,” said Tex imperturbably. "There’s the money on the table—an* we got the mortgage. Jest let the fact sink in. We’re gonna keepit. C’mon Johnny, the story’s told. Let’s rattle our hocks."The two partners made their way to the street, Tex watching Spellewarily over his shoulder Down thestreet Ronny and Pink Crosby were waiting at the buckboard. Further•n, tied in a line at the hitching rail before the Starlight Saloon, was agroup of horses, all wearing the Double S iron. Tex’s fa A was fur­rowed and serious as he reached the buckboard."Pink, you an’ Miss Ronny hop in that rig an* light out for home.Them broncos have been wantin’ toramble all mornin*. Let ’em out. Pour the whip into ’em. Burn tluhubs off’n them wheels gettin’ there. That mortgage won’t be safeuntil Jim Delevan gets his hands onit.”- '‘Tex,” said Ronny fearfully. "You don't think there will betrouble do you?”"Don’t think a thing, Miss Ronny,” answered Tex. ”1 knowthere will. Soon as Spelle gets through snappin’ at himself he'sgonna turn that gang o' his loose on yore trail to try an' haid yuh off'fore yuh get home.”“B—but, you and Johnny,” ob­jected the girl, her eyes on Johnny'sgrim young face. "‘You can't fight them all off. You'll get hurt.”Johnny's face broke into a wide, beautific grin. “Nemmine us, MissRonny. Me an* this ole sand rat been shot at before. We're jest toocussed onery to stop lead. Pink,shake them reins. See yuh while ago."Pink spun the buckboard around on one wheel and turned the bron­cos loose in a wild run up the street. As the buckboard passed the bankSpelle leaped out into the street with a bawl of anger, shaking hisfists above hs head. Then he headed down towards the saloon at aclumsy run.“Fork yore hull, kid," snapped Tex crisply. “Lead’s due to fly ina minute.” In a moment Tex and Johnnywere spurring after the rapidly dis­ appearing buckboard. As theycleared the edge of the town thedim roar of voice reached their ears.“Shows on,” yelled Johnny.“Whoopee! Look at that boy Pink drive will yuh. If that buckboardhad wings it'd fly.” A half mile from town Tex lookedback. He could easily see the black blot of hard riding horsemen."Slow up,” he snapped. "We’repullin’ up on Pink. We’re out here to hold this gang back instead ofhaul ’em up. Git yore Winchester loose, kid."Johnny pulled tbe rifle from the boot beneath his left thigh andlevered in a cartridge. Then he and Tex hauled their nervous mountsdown to a leisutely lope. The horsemen in the rear came up fastand Tex watching them closely,measured the distance. "Four hundred yards," he an­nounced finally. “Fan ’em a couple,johnny." Obediently Johnny turned and slammed five shots to the rear. Itwas hard shooting; twisted thus ona running horse, but the following band made a big mark and at thefifth shot a horse went headlong, throwing its rider spread eagling into the dust. “Bueno ” cried Tex. “That slowed’em up.”‘Yeah, fer s minute,” answeredJohnny, feverishly plugging moreshells through the loading gate. “But they're gonna spread out.Somebody’s usin’ his haid back there.”“Nemmine. Pink’s almost out o’ sight—an’ that’s the main thing.”As Johnny had said the pursuershad spread out and no longer pre­ sented a solid mass to shoot at.From now on any fire Johnny mightgive through his rifle would perforcebe merely haphazard with chancesfor a hit very small, at least while his own horse was in motion.The dull thudding of gun-shots sounded in the rear but only onelone bullet sang past. Tex, quickto read this sign smiled grimly. 1 “Lucky fer us they ain't any o’ they saw Tex spur out to meet thsnewcomers and pump their hands delightedly.

Now how'u helldid they git up there?” Tex turned and followed Johnny'spointing arm. Sure enough two riders were spurring in at an angleto the southwest, from the rim of the desert. They were coming faston big, gaunt horses and each of the riders carried a rifle loose in theirright hands.“Hell” snapped Tex. “We're in fer it, kid. Pull up. You go afterthose two hombres with the rifles. I'll keep this other gang back. MyOle hawk-laig will throw lead just as far as theirs.

Jest think what yuhcould do with a .30-30 now.” "Nemmine me,” snapped Tex.“Get busy—those two jaspers arewithin range." rJohnny slipped from his horseand threw up his rifle. It wavered, steadied, but when it crashed flatlythe bullet went far and wide. Just as Johnny pulled the trigger Texhad leaned over and swept the bar­ rel up.“Fer gosh sakes,” blazed Johnny.“What in hell did yuh do that fer?I was holdin* daid center.”Tex paid no attention. His keen old eyes were fixed on the two new­comers with a mingled expression of doubt and joy.“Kid, yore eyes are better'n mine. Look dose. Ain’t that leadin' hossa star faced black?"_ “Yeah it is," snapped Johnny, raising his rifle again. “An' I’mgonna put me a slug right in the star.”But Tex shoved his rifle aside again. “Kid," he burst out delight­edly. “That’s ole Utah Lynch an’ Al Burrows from the Bar B outfit.I telegraphed ’em to come arunnin*an* shore they’re doin’ it. You fan hell outa Spelle’s crowd.

It did not take themlong to realize that this time at least they were outmaneuvered, for medicine with a Winchester.ble is his brain ain't developin’ likoit should.

Tex, me’n you gotta take a trip someday an’ look■in on that young gent.” "Mebbe so, someday," drawled Tex. "But right now we got ourown dish o* hash to cook.

By the time they rode up to thecorrals of the Box D ranch Utah and Al had the whole story and hadjointly expressed their satisfaction at the opportunity of sitting in onthings. When Tex attempted to thank them for their prompt re­sponse to his messages they waved him off. "Why thank us?" scoffed Al Bur­ rows. "Shucks, Tex, we're the onesto render thanks.

Like most manufacturing enter­ prises inaugurated in Ontario twen­ ty-one years agio, this was relatively small—it had an uncertain future before it, with the odds decidedly against it. Let us trace the career of the enterprise: The business was originated by Messrs. J. and S. Noxon in 1856, and the specialties of the works at that time ,were the manufacture of stoves and plows; that the concern was of limited proportions may be in­ ferred when we state that horse power was resorted to for driving the blast. Since 1856 there is a record of changes, both in co-part­ nership and in character and amount of work annually done. In 1865 Stephen Noxon was admitted io the firm, and in 1869, unde the style of Noxon Brothers, F. C. and T. H. Noxon were admitted. In 1872 the present organization was perfected under the name of the Noxon Bros. Manufacturing Company, with an authorized capital of $150,000, the officers being James Noxon, Presi­ dent; Samuel Noxon, Treasurer, and F. ,C. Noxon, Superintendent. Such have been the changes as regards management and co-partnership. Some changes have also occurred in the character of business done. In 1858 stove manufacturing was re­ tired from, and since then the works have been devoted to the manufac­ ture of agricultural machinery of various kinds and classes. In passing through Ingersoll by rail the traveller can scarcely fail to notice the factory1' of which we write. Extending by the side of and parallel with the Great Western Railway tracks for a considerable distance, their external appearance impresses the most casual beholder that here are works of real matghitude. This impression is abundantly sustained by facta, and the writer, thoroughly conversant with a large per cent, of similar concerns in both the States and Canada, can pay the Company the merited compliment of saying that, in all essential respects, in completeness of 1 outfit,” in appear­ ance and arrangement of workshops the works are inferior to none. The ground area occupied by the buildings and yards is five acres. There are, necessarily, a number of apartments, and, through the court­ esy of the President «f the Company,we are enabled to' give the superfic­ial area of each:Sand Room and CupolaRoam.............................. 2,500 ft.Moulding Shop .............. 8,000 "Blacksmith Shop ............ 4,000 ”Casting and Cleaning Room ...................... 4,000 “ Engine and Boiler Room 1,600 “ Iron and Finishing Shop 6,000 “ Wood Working Shop...... 6,000 " Drying Kiln ...........-....... 1.200 “ Wood Finishing Shop.... 6,000 “ Paint Shop ......... 8,000 " Store Room ..................j23,000 “ ’Pattern Room ................. 5,000 ’’ Office and Show Room.. 5,000 “ Total Shop Area............80,300 ft. Eighty thousand, three hundred square feet floor aresfcre of work shops, offices, &c. The simple statement requires no comment Our reporter had the curiosity to learn somewhat as to capital used in the enterprise now, and also, by a direct question, ascertained the orig­ inal capital! of J. & S. Noxon, when the business began in 1856. In 1856, the capital at the command of the firm was two thousand dollars, and the sales of manufactured ar­ ticles were confined to the County of' Oxford. Mark the contrast. Now the business has a working capital of $167,000. Instead of the merely local, County trade, aggre­ gating but a few thousand dollars per ■year, we now find the establish­ ment reaching throughout the coun­ try for a marked. We doubt if there is a settled portion of the Do­ minion in which the products of the Noxon Bros. Manufacturing Company are not sold. This trade is not wholly bounded by Provincial or Dominion lines. Some exporta­ tion of machinery is made to Great Britain, and, strange as it may seem, some sales are made in the United States. The list of articles manufactured is a long one, embracing, as the leading features, mowers and reap­ ers, wood sawing machines, sulky rakes, gram drills, cultivators, plows, field rollers, feed cutters, &c. To comment upon the intrinsic merit of these various machines would1 be a work of supererogation. The develop­ ment of the business and the extent of trade tells in a very forcible and pointed manner in what estimation they are held by the purchasing pub­ lic; to say more than that would be like gilding refined gold.The greatest development of the enterprise has been experienced since 1870. In comparison with last year the business for 1877 will show but little change either way the unusually depressed financial condition of the county precluding, as a matter of course, any marked improvement. The full working force required is 150 persons. The active management of the business rests with the President, Treasurer and Superintendent, each of whom takes personal cognizance of some departent. The result is system­ atized effort, productive of good re­ sults. Incidentally, we allude to an item which shows how much faith the Noxon Brothers have in the future of Canada. During the past few years the firm have acquired a very large mill property as well as lands in the town of Walkerton, County of Brtice. A part of that property they recently sold for $60,000, and we believe it is their intention to dispose of their remaining interests in Bruce and thus 'be free to devote their whole capital and energies in extending the manufacturing oper­ ations in Ingersoll. They realize the fact that large markets are open­ ing up in Manitoba and the North- West, as well as in the lower Prov­ inces, and to mfpply this demand ad­ mits of an almost indefinite increase in the company’s operations. The twenty years that have come and gone since the enterprise ,was in­ augurated have been characterized by wonderful improvements in all classes of farm machinery. The Messrs. Noxon have recognized the TAKE THE “77” ROUTE Any one of the 77 Modern Cue Machine* will cut your farm operating coate, do bettor work and eave yon time.

Waterhouse & Bradbury—It has been many years since the first cus­ tom roll cards were put in operation in Ingersoll, but it was not until about twelve years ago that any manufacturing was done. In 1865 Messrs. James Waterhouse and Frederick Bradbury bought the mill then controlled 'by H. Parhkurst, and they at once equipped it with machinery, and at the same time in­ creased its custom capacity. This was the beginning of woolen manu­ factures in Ingersoll Both Messrs. Waterhouse and Bradbury were thoroughly conver­ sant with this line of manufactures- indeed it has been the occupation of their lives. Each had learned the trade of spinner in the old country, and for the past thirty years they have been associates, and partners for twenty-three. Previous to lo- cating in Ingersoll they had run a woolen mill at Thameaford for five years and at Port Stanley for five. The Ingersoll woolen mill is run the entire year and ordinarily gives employment to fourteen to sixteen persons. It is what is known as an one-set mill, and its capacity of con­ sumption may be fairly placed at 20,000 pounds of wool. Two cus­ tom roll cards are in use, one self­ operating spinning jack of 2f0 spindles, five narrow looms, and such foiling, dyeing, scouring and other machinery as naturally makes up the outfit of a well equipped woolen mill. The chief products of the mill are tweeds, flannels ; and yarn.1, andthough a considerable quantity of these goods are purchased by whole­ sale houses of tKe Province, still the bulk of sales ar.< here in the local market. Thdf-e is a sales room at the mill, and May the firm open­ ed another up iowa, where in addi­tion to goods Lf their own manu­ facture they carry a general line of staple dry gooA, and also have a general tsdloriMz department.

Brown & Oo.—The Tribunereporter has called upon the firmnamed above (with the view of "it­ ems.” The answers "we have no time to give,” and “we take no interest whatever in the work,” » sufficient reason for no “items” appearing. As this is one of the largest businesses in the town our report wiQ be im­ perfect without it, and we are com­ pelled, in order to exonerate oursel­ ves for the omission to give the above facts of the case. McIntyre and Crotty—Furniture making is at this time, one of the most depressed of any of the manu­ facturing industries of Canada, and yet, we find an item or two of interest respecting McIntyre & Crotty, repre­ sentatives of that interest here. Mr. James McIntyre, the senior of the firm, is one of the oldest business men of Ingersoll. He came here twenty-four years ago and established a small cabinet making shop on King street, the work .then all being done by hand power. Indeed it was ndt until twelve years ago, when the fac­ tory now used was built, that steam ■power was introduced. Of course, the twenty-four yeara that has elapsed since the business was established have been productive of good results. The'business, through active exertion, has been enlarged very much, and in­ stead of the one or two workmen of a quarter of a century ago, the full force required by the factory of late years has been 26, though not as many are now employed. Four years ago, Mr. H. S. Crotty became a co-partner. Mr. Crotty is a native of Ingersoll, and formerly was engaged in the fanning and mercantile business until seven years ago, whan he engaged in the furniture tradfe. That, since then, has been his business. Messrs. McIntyre & Crotty make a general range of bedsteads, bureaus, chairs, &c., both for the wholesale and retail trade, their wholesale ship­ ments extending throughout the coun­ try, as far west as Sarnia, and to the north, ecutii and east- The local trade, however, is of chiefest import­ ance. They also make a speciality of undertaking, manufacture and im­ port coffins and caskets, and keep two hearses. With the revival of busi­ ness which certainly ought to come this fall, the firm will be found well equipped to supply either department of this trade, and they -will be happy to fill orders now or then at such rates that cannot fail to give satisfac­ tion.
