Pioneered By Canada strange as it seems, there was a time, not so long ago, when wind- shields were not standard equipment but w-ere detachable "extras" to be installeii after the car was purchased. This came to light in an interesting way recently when exhibition crowds were viewing the old car museum ol General Motors Products of Canada Limited. Prominent among the old cars was a Cadillac of 1908, which was equipped with one of these ''ex- tra" windshields, brass-framed ana held in position by brass rods. By a co-incidence, spectators of the old- timer included at least three who hao some historic connection with the cai when it was new. These were J. J. Cameron, who invented the windshield and installed it on this patieular car; C. E. McTbvish, who was with the Conboy Carriage Company at the time and sold the windshield to the Cadil- lac's owner, and who is now general sales manager of General Motors Pro- ducts of Canada. Limited: and J. .A. Gowdy, who sold the car itself, being at that time salesman for Hyslop Brothers and now with the Cadillac- Pontiac branch in Toronto. Mr Cameron recalled how Canada pion- eered the windshield, the idea being copied soon afterwards in the Uniteo States. •Miss .Annie Robinson came homo from the. hospital on Monday last. Her many friends wish her a complete recovery. She will still have the at- tendance of our Dr. Lindsay and Mrs. F. W. Dean. R.N. Mr. and Mi-s.
