' « THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 192S ! i 1. > V » ;« WHAT WE HAVE TO OFFER < ^;= i '<' No one chartered bank in Can- ada has anything greater to offer the business community than its contemporaries unless it be in the character of the service it renders. During the half-century of its life, the Standard Bank has developed a diatinct individualitiy through the kind of service maintained in its daily transactions. The commercial aspect of this individuality is found in the many unique services f''- which the Standard Bank is pecn! - ily equipped. THE SI}^NDARD BANK OF CANAIA ^ESTAftUSHEO lA^S^ E. A.

The annual convention of East Grey Teachers was held in Meaford on October 4th and 5th. The presi- dent, Mr. S. Fetch, of Thornbury, presided. The convention was op- ened by singing "O God Our Help in Ages Past." Tho devotional exercises were con- duct;ed by Rev. G. K. Tyler, B. Th. Mr. Tyler made a very impressive address, stressing the importance of the character and personality of the teacher, as pupils may forget a great many things such as dates in history, but they never lose the ef- fect of the influence of the teacher, therefore it behooves the teacher to remember that he may be responsible for the future of those placed in hTs trust. The reading of the minutes by Miss Graves recalled the very inter- esting convention held in Barrie a year ago. The financial report was very gratifying to those present. The nominating committee was then appointed viz: Mr. Fetch, con- vener, Mrs. Carruthers, Miss May- nard and Mr. Horace Cook. The O. E. A. delegates.

In the strict sense "DRY" means free of moisture, and because our cleansing fluid contains no water, our s'ervice is called ,tiry cleaning. To throw the gasoline away when dirty, would make the cost of dry cleaning prohibitive, so various re- claiming methods have been developed, inasmuch as the quality of a cleaner's work is largely deter- mined by the cleanliness of his cleaning fluid. We have spared no expense to install the most efficient purifying method known to industry. Our new Glover solvent purifier, is virtually the "heart" of our establishment. Its purifying ac- tion is not only positive but continuous â€" in and out of the washer the fluid flows, pure, sweet and clean. Garments cleaned in this manner are re- moved from the washer thoroughly cleaned.
