little commerce with either nation

scene of war was so far removed as to

Good morning Mr.. Plant.
The people of Brunswick are glad to
welcome you and your staff to the
city.
THE TINES Is heartily glad, Mr..
Plant, that you are here. 1t makes
Brunswick feel little closer to you,
so to speak, to see the sunlight of your
smile irradiating this important Sec
tion of your business territory.
THE TIMES is certain. Mr.. Plant,
that you will enjoy your visit. Yes,
we are aware that your mission is a
business one, and that you have little
time for pleasure-but then, you
know, a man can very often take few
loments of holiday in the dreariest
routine of official care.
The people of Brunswick appreciate
what you have done for them. They
have noted the building of your new
wharves with genuine good-teeling.
They hope that you will come to see
Brunswick oftener in future and that,
from the closer acquaintanceship that
is bound to result, you will be in
fluenced to do even more for US.
Come again and often.
