 mum rates to carry with them the appro- 

 priate tolls of the 'graduate' tables, scales

 gle shipments of 500 pounds or over.

 reduced for the mileage group from nine 

 hundred to one thousajnd miles, do not 

 exceed four dollars ($4) a hundred pounds 

 in the sections between Sudbury, Ont.,

 Canmore, and Thornton, Alberta, and four 

 dollars and seventy-five cents ($4.75) a 

 hundred pounds in the section west thereof

 spectively, as now charged." 



The 



Biggest Thing in the 

 Clock Business 



Big Ben is the biggest thing today in 

 the alarm clock business. 



He is only two years and a half old, 

 but he's already getting more work from 

 the Dominion than any clock alive. 



In two years and a half time, 6,000 

 Canadian dealers have adopted him. 

 Nearly half of the families in Canada 

 leave it to him to call them up in the 

 morning; nearly half the families in 

 Canada use him all day long to tell the 

 right time by. He is really two good 

 clocks in one— a crackerjack of a time- 

 keeper and a crackerjack of an alarm. 



Big Ben stands seven inches tall. He 

 is triple nickel-plated and wears an inner 

 vest of steel that insures him for life. 

 His big, bold figures and hands are easy 

 to read in the dim morning light. His 

 large, comfortable keys almost wind 

 themselves. He rings Jiz'e minutes stead- 

 ily or ten intermittently. If he is oiled 

 every other year, there is no telling how 

 long he will last. 



Bijr Ben's price is SJ.OO anywhere in Canada. If 

 you cannot find bim at your dealer's, a money order 

 sent to Wtnthx, La SnUe. lllinoiu wiil bring him to 

 you, carefully packed and duty charges paid.
