He does not really look into a crystal ball but he reads the future nevertheless and he sees new cities yet unbuilt. He is important in the tele- phone business. He judges the future from the facts of the present and it is his job to judge with accuracy. He must judge with accuracy because, in a telephone system, plans must be made for years ahead and millions of dollars are involved. With a railway there must be tracks and sta- tions before trains can run. With a telephone system there must be conduits and central exchanges before telephones can go in. To wait .until people are clamoring for teh- phones is too late. THE BUSINESS PROPHET does not wait. He comes to the management with his charts and graphs and figures and says: "In 1930 the demand in Ontario will be 8O,0C0 new telephones. They will be wanted here and here and here." Or he says: "Within the next five years the Province of Quebec will need at least forty per cent more exchange capacity." And the management does not wait either. They know it is up to them to prepare now. If they don't they will be falling down on their job ; they will not be keeping pace with the country. BECAUSE THE BUSINESS PROPHET spoke in time and the management acted promptly there are 139,000 telephones being installed in Ontario and Quebec this year. Without them there would be inconvenience and confusion now in thousands of new homes and offices. Next year the business outlook calb for spend- ing over twenty-seven million dollars to extend and renew the system and plans have been made to do so. For the next five years the telephone expan- sion definitely known to be needed in the two provinces means over one hundred million dollars. FINDING THE MONEY is a problem. It is as great a problem as the complications of engineering and organization. Every year as the country grows there must be new money ready so that the telephone system may keep pace. Every year thus far the money has been ready because the policy of the telephone system has been fortunate in attracting the support of conservative and reliable investors who have not been subject to the influence of market fluctuations. THAT IS HOW the business prophet and his graphs have been made effective. And that is why the telephone man- agement has always met Cana- dian progress with confidence and enthusiasm.

It was abundant and of srood qual- ity, a'!most everyone disposing of all their apples at fair pvices, all only two persons â€" one of these was a farmer who sold 5 bags, but when loaded, the man jumped in the truck and away, leaving tha farmer still looking for his pay and tliat of a fi-uck driver with a load of potatoes. He exchanged the apples for pota- toes. He agreed with a lady zo ?ive her 26 bags of potatoes and 50 cents for 2 bags of apples, also 25 cents a bag for culls. For two bags he gave the potatoes, took the apples and gave the lil'tle boy 20 cents and before the lady could get to the truck he had gone.
