aio ONTARIO 



Care J. J. MILLIGAN, LAMBTON MILLS, ONT., Jan., 1913. 



In answer to your letter, I wish to thank you very much for the kind- 

 nets shown me since I arrived in Canada on April 3rd, 1912, and I am 

 pleased to say I am still in the same situation you sent me to the day I 

 arrived in Toronto, and I am more than satisfied with it. I also like Canada 



much and often wish I had emigrated five or six years ago. From an 

 agricultural standpoint I think Ontario far ahead of the Old Land, as tin- 

 soil is much richer and the climate better, and I hope to be able to get a 

 piece of land myself I c fore long, as I think there are heaps of openings 



..irkot gardeners and florists, and it will give me the greatest of pic a MI n 



neml it to all my friends. I hope this letter will be of \\ 

 publication for the benefit of others who desire to emigrate.

Care MR. A. W. PALMER, DOUGLAS, ONT., Dec., 1912. 



In answer to your letter. I have much pleasure in giving you my opinion 

 of Ontario, and hope it will come to t<he notice of some Old Country boys 

 who are anxious to get on in life. T did not go to Mr. Riddell where you 

 directed me as he had hired a man. but found work an hour afterwards 

 in my present position. When I came to Canada I was on the lookout for 

 hard work, but have got an easier job than I had in England and more than 

 double the wages. T can only say that Ontario has far exceeded my ex- 

 pectations, and I am sure if it were more widelv known what a pla 

 opportunity this country is for the one who is willing to get on, there would 

 be a greater increase in emigration. T should be glad if you would forward 

 me particulars regarding the 160 acres of land if free or oth-- I am 



anxious to take up land for myself.

We like the country very much indeed, and find a great advantage over 

 the Old Country. There is plenty of work for anyone that is willing 

 it. The land in this district is V( ^ome excellent crops being raided. 



and one with a little capital could easily start farming. I have had the chance 

 twice since coming here. We are very pleased we came out, for our health 

 has never been better than it is at present. The weather is colder than it 

 is in England, but the air is clearer, so one does not feel the cold so much, 

 in fact we don't mind it in the least

I would like to *ay I am greatly pleased with the prospects in Ontario. 

 ;md would certainly recommend anyone who is willing to work hard to romr 

 out here. 



The wages are considerably higher than in the Old Country, and although 

 for a rime one may have to rough it. yet there are abundant opportunities 

 for success in all trades.
