I met the represeutative etfn ,Eu glish firm in Harriston about a ycar age. He was eut leoking atter the packing and snipping et the first, sipment et the Harriston tactory and he said his firm would take the entire oatput et the factory and make a good 'ladvance on the shipment as soon as it wason thc cars, whicli 1 thougl if wsea good arrangement and weuid be a great heip te the coînpany.
