Having for a number of years acted as Agents for various makes of Pi-

anos, and having found that of all instruments with which we have had ex- perience the Nordheimer best answers the needs of discriminating people, we have decided to discontinue all representation except that of the Nord- heimer Company. We will soon be in a position to supply our patrons with any style included in the Nordheimer Line. The popularity of Nordheimer Pianos is so great that difficulty has of late been experienced in supplying the demand. But we have_ _made arrangements extending over a long period whereby we are in a position to promise prompt, delivery Of any instrument

ordered from us

Commencing with the Fall a steady stream of shipments is assured. Al-

ready we have several of the more popular Nordheimei' styles on our floor

and others are now on theway. _

couldn’t stay away from -this meet- ing. it gives me great pleasure to be with you and to note the excellent representation well scattered about New Brunswick, Nova. Scotia and

' Prince Edward Island.

'fit is important that we start ln

right. _ The time is opportune to re- Ursanize for our share in the re-con- stniction that is before the citizens of Canada. '

“In the mother country before the

War. wuon any question of commer- cial policy camo un. -the Board or Trade was always consulted as one of the greatest authorities in the land. The opportunities for service were never greater. For one thing, we want ro secure for the Maritime Provinces

_ their fair share of the -business which

is being offered to Canadian trade by the opening up of foreign markets.

"lt seems to me 'that we of the

Board of Trade have in the past been more or less marking -time. We have had only a few boards represented on the Maritime body, whereas in order to reach our real strength every town of any size should be represented on the Maritime Board by a great strong delegation. *

"From such an organization good re-

sults are bound to follow. We cannot expect our representatives at Domin- ion and provincial capitals to pay us th tt tio d rl le

One load of choice heavy cattle of thirteen hundred pounds average sold at $14.75 on Wednesday; a load fed by Arm- strong ol‘ Brooklin, Ontario, and aver- aging twelve hundred and seventy-live pounds was weighed up at $14.50 on Monday, while a third load realized

Good Roads, Tenchnical and Agricul- tural Educstion discussed and sup- ported by thirs Board are receiving the attention and action of the Do- minion and Local Governments.

The present time seems opportune

for a closer union of the three Prov- lnces-if not politically, then -com- mercially-situated geographically as they are, and with practically identi- cal interests, unless they are content to become what an Ontario politi- cian of a generation ago designated them-"the shreds and patches of the Dominion.” '

it has been frequently charged

against’ the people of these Provinces that they are intensly parochial in their view of things and incapable of vision. The call of this convention is -_- to a broader outlook. - The prophet's cry of twenty~four centur- _ies ago is as applicable today ar. then-“Where there is n_o vision the lieople perish.”

Permit nic in closing to make a

suggestion, viz. that in disposing of the weightiel- topics if further action has 'to be taken a committee of three or live leading members be ap- pointed to assist the Secretary to deal with them.

Also, with an interval of a year

between its meetings the interests of the sillliatcd Boards in the work of this Board lags. I would again urge that your Secretary be one whose or- dinary duties carry him over the Maritime Provinces a‘t least twice a year. When about to visit' a town or‘city he could notify the Secretary of its Board of Trade of his intended visit and arrange to meet the mem- bers or Council of the Board and ad- vise wl'th them of the work being done, and thus keep up their inter- est. If there is no one In sight at the present moment I would suggest that the appointment of the Secre- tary be left to the Executive.
