Costs You Nothing 



to try this wonderful new Aladdin coal oil 

 mantle lamp 10 days right in your own home. 

 You don't need to send us a cent in advance, 

 and if you are not perfectly satisfied, you may 

 return it at our expense. 



Twice the Light 

 on Half the Oil 



Recent tests by noted scientists at 14 leadinir 

 Universities, prove the Aladdin gives more 

 than twice the light and burns less than 

 half as much oil as the best round wick 

 open flame lamps on the market. Thus the 

 Aladdm will pay for itself many times over 

 m oil saved, to say nothing pf the increased 

 quantity and quality of pure white light it 

 produces. A style for every need. 



Over Three Million 



people now enjoy the liKht of the Aladdin and 

 every mail brings hundreds of enthusiastic 

 letters from satisfied users endorsing it as the 

 most wonderful light they have ever seen 

 buch comments as You have solved the prob- 

 lem of rural home lighting"; "I could not think 

 of parting with my Aladdin"; "The grandest 

 thing on earth": "You could not buy it back 

 ^' ^?y.P."?? : . Beats any light I have ever 

 seen ; A blessing to any household"; "It is 

 the acme of perfection": '"Better than I ever 

 dreamed possible"; "Makes my light look like 

 a tallow dip ; etc., etc.. pour into our office 

 every day. Coed Housekeeping Institute, 

 New York, tested and approved the Aladdin.

to the person who shows us an oil lamp equal 

 to the Aladdin (details of this Reward Offer 

 given m our circular which will be sent you).

Apple Crop Prospects 



The present se;ison, so far as production 

 is concerned, and speaking broadly for the 

 whole Dominion, is a most satisfactory one. 

 The crop is large and the fruit is clean 

 and of good size. Such a condition is ex- 

 ceptional, and if the means of distributing 

 and marketing were normal, the growers 

 woujd unquestionably reap abundant re- 

 turns. 



The foreigin market, however, at the pre- 

 sent time is greatly demoralized. In prac- 

 tically every section of the country the 

 growers arc exceedingly pessimistic regard- 

 ing the ultimate distribution of their fmit 

 in a satisfactory manner. This feeling Ls 

 particularly marked among independent 

 growers, who have in previous years relied 

 upon the itinerant buyers to purchase their 

 fruit. Many of these buyers are not oper- 

 ating this season, and even in cases where 

 they have quoted prices, their oilers are 

 far from alluring. The consequence is that 

 gnowers are practically at a loss as to any 

 means of selling their crop. Many of them 

 have had no experience in marketing, hav- 

 ing formerly sold their fruit on the trees 

 or packed in the orchard. Cooperative as- 

 sociations are not so seriously affected. 

 Being groups of growers under capable 

 management and with experience in dis- 

 posing of previous crops, most of the as- 

 sociations have established connections up- 

 on which they can place some reliance in 

 the present season. The average over the 

 whole Dominion for early apples is seventy- 

 eight per cent., for fall apple(s seventy- 

 eight per cent., and for winter apples 

 seventy-four per cent. This gives a total 

 crop of seventy-six per cent., which is an 

 increase of twenty-eight per cent, over 

 that of 1913. 



HARVESTING 



On account of the very exceptional con- 

 ditions which are at present existing 

 throughout the world, there are certain 

 features which Canadian fruit producers 

 should keep in mind when harvesting their 

 crop. There is a general laxity on the part 

 of consumers in making purchases, and 

 the demand for any inferior fruit from pre- 

 sent indications, will be slight. It is there- 

 fore desirable that only the better gnades 

 should be packed and shipped, at least until 

 a more equable state of affairs is reached. 

 There should be a satisfactory home mar- 

 ket for the better grades, and the growers 

 would be wise to limit their shipments to 

 such grades and hold the lower grades for 

 later sales. The main thing to bear in 

 mind is that, just as long. as the demand . 

 for fruit is limited, it should be stipplied 

 only by the better grades and every barrel 

 of No. 2 or No. 3 apples that is placed on 

 the market interferes to just that extent 

 with the sale of higher grades. 



FOREIGN CONDITIONS 



The crop m Great Britain is larger than 

 was anticipated early in the season, and 

 the rnarkets are well supplied. Large 

 quantities of bananas and pineapples, ori- 

 ginally intended for European points, have 

 been diverted to British markets, with the 

 result that the public are being well sup- 

 plied at low prices. Local apples, pears, 

 and plums are all excellent crops. — Bo-
