ish commercial activity in Canada. We
believe that there is a great field open
for the British manufacturer. and that
he is losing many opportunities simply
because he is unacquainted with our
requirements and demands. If he will
only wake up. he has within his grasp

earth, But he will have to wake up
and face the fact that the field is not
to be conquered without a struggle. We
specially desire TO interest the British
manufacturers in the national cxhibi-

Toronto. This exhibition is a public
enterprise, and is managed for national,

wanted is that the British manufactur-
crs should visit Canada and sec things
for themselves. IT is of little use TO
try TO learn our ways by correspondence
or TO send over "A subordinate who has
no authority to cliuch business. We
have no time to deal with men who
have TO report everything 10 hcadquar-
tcrs and get its approval.

The prominence of Chancellor of the
