People pay for it and read it regularly. Whole famil- ies await it eagerly and contest goi)d- naturedly over the individual turns to read it. Each praises and criticizes it as one is prone to criticize the other .â- \t this time of the year the race for the position of the Warden of the County of Grey takes place and many anxioUs hours are spent by the con- testants. There are many old mem- bers of the Council who would be delighted with the honor of serving in the elf ice of Warden, but many will never receive that honor. The race this year appears to be between W. n. Hunter. Reeve of Egremont, :uid .^ngus .\. Mf.-\rthur. Reeve of Glei'.elg. Several others are likely to have their names brought before the County Council when it meets next Tuesday, January 19th. to choose members of the family.

F.O.B. vs DELIVERED To the Tarrif Conunissioii inquiry of 1936 the Canadian automobile in- dustry is indebted for at least one | thing; it .brought out the fact that | J; Stc^-^jvell. Mrs. Canadians pay less for their cars than the people of any other country in the woild except the United States. More- over, it came out that f.o.b. prices as advertised in the U. S. A. are. to say the least, misleading and absurd for comparative purposes. The mag- azine ''Automobile Topics^' recently made a study of prices of 54 models displayed at the New York Show, not- ing the "list" price, the price deliver- ed at New York and the Pi'ice as eq- uipped at the Show. One popular car listed at !5620 was leally $"17 de- livered at New York, and $889 de- livei-ed as e'U'iPPPd at the Show. In general the nia.gazine found: â- â€¢TTie spread varied â€" from $i)8 to $640 per car â€" In the group comprising cars in the $700 f.o.b. range, the spread was $157.71 between list and stand- ard delivered price".

Door to doo, salesmen use al! kinds of ingenious device to get inide the home. But the newspaper is a welcome guest. One type of selling is forced, the other type is received. Door to door hand- bills are most times an intrusion upon the privacy of the home, but the newspaper is invited in. Its mess- ages are read avidly and its adver- tisements are considered a part of these messages. The iiewpaper is •'o definitely a r)art of the people, so much an ac*.eptid member of the family, that its pages constitute the finest and least expensive advertis- ing medium yet devised. 1 Did You Ever Stop to Think?
