High Quality Builds 

 Big Telephone Business 



THIS business was org-ainized to manufacture telephone equipment 

 for independent local and municipal systems. Right from the 

 start our equipment made records for efficiency. It did not take 

 long for our goods to acquire a reputation for quality and re- 

 liability. As a result our business has grown by leaps aind bounds. 



It is a well-known fact that we have been securing over 80 per cent, of 

 the new telephone business in Ontario. The business, too, has been 

 secured with less effort than business secured by competitors. The 

 satisfaction our telephones and equipment have given under all condi- 

 tions has paved the way for easy business getting. 



To judge how fast our business is growing, you'll remember we stated 

 in a previous announcement that our business last year doubled that of 

 the year before. Well, this year the first two months' sales total more 

 than twice the 1912 sales for the same period. More and more is it 

 being recognized by those in the local telephone business, that we are 

 the legitimate people to deal with. There are those in the telephone 

 business who are interested in depreciating the success of the indepen- 

 dent telephone movement and the development of municipal systems. On 

 the other hand, our business lies wholly and directly with the inde- 

 pendent telephone systems, and it is to our own best interests to look 

 after these systems well, as on their success depends the growth of 

 our business. 



If you would like a list of the large independent telephone systems built 

 in Ontario during the last twelve months, just drop us a line. We 

 would be glad to send you a list of the systems, with the make of the 

 telephones they are using. In fact, if you'll name over the large inde- 

 pendent systems built during the last year in Western, Northern and 

 Easterm Ontario you'll find that nine out of every ten are using our 

 telephones and equipment. 



You are absolutely safe in equipping your system with our telephones. 

 We guarantee them as regards material and workmanship. In fact we 

 guarantee all our equipment and materials. And in addition, we offer 

 to send our telephones for FREE TRIAL, So you can test and compare 

 them with others right on your own lines before risking a dollar. 



Ask for our No. 3 Bulletin — ^containing latest information about building 

 telephone lines. Also No. 4, describing our magneto telephones, is 

 free on request.

A Felicitous Choice 



Mr. E. D. Smith, of Winona, Out., is 

 now a Senator. In this choice the Govern- 

 ment honors Mr. Smith, the fruit growing 

 industry, and itself. 



Senator E. D. Smith is known either 

 personally or by reputation to every fruit- 

 grower in Canada He has met with equal 

 success as a nurseryman, as a fruit grower, 

 in buying and distributing fruit, and in 

 fruit canning and preserving. It is pro- 

 bably as a nurseryman, however, that Mr. 

 Smith has made his greatest achievemtnt. 

 It requires a man of a good deal more than 

 ordinary ability to manage nearly one 

 thousand acres of high priced land under 

 a system of intensive cultivation. 



"A Last Opportunity for Our 

 Readers." 



Did you answer the questions asked 

 on page 167 in the June issue of The 

 Canadian Horticulturist ? 



Many of our readers did and will 

 receive in return their choice of one of 

 Gordon Thompson's Famous Life Songa 

 The offer was good only to June 25th. In 

 order, however, to give every reader a 

 full opportunity to gat one of these songs 

 we now extend the offer to July 15th. 



Perhaps you thought the questions 

 too personal ? Remember that we treat 

 your reply as entirely confidently. We 

 merely wish to compile statistics re 

 Canadian Horticulturist subscribers to 

 show our advertisers what a desirable 

 class of readers we have. 



Look up the June issue right new, fill 

 in the coupon (it w-ll only take a couple 

 of minutes) and mail to us to-day. Don't 

 forget to mention which one of the songs 

 you prefer- 



In addition to the large acreage devoted 

 to fruit and nursery stock, Mr. Smith oper- 

 ates his own jam factory and preserving 

 plant. He also has his own cold storage 

 plant, telegraph office and express offices, 

 and pays out half a million dollars a year 

 in wages. 



The Canadian Horticulturist joins in the 

 congratulations to Senator Smith. We 

 feel that the fruit growing industry is for- 

 tunate in having as its representative in the 

 Senate a man of his calibre and ability.
