HADDY JEWELER ? ^b rd THF UNIVERSAL Uli Don't Fail to Read This Canada's Industrial Payroll is $5,000,000 a Week Ford Workmeir~Have Large Share In This-- Highest Paid In British Empire Ford, Ont., Mat 18, 1915.--The highest paid automobile workmen workmen in the British Empire are without doubt the employees of the Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited. Following the recent adoption of a minimum of $4 per day for Canadian Ford employees, it is figured from wage reports that they are getting approximately three times as much as the average of all Can adian workers. . Canada has 20,000 factories giving employment to 600,- 000 workers. Wages amount to oyer $260,000,000 annually, or $5,000,000 per week. This is really a startling figure, especially especially as Canada's industries have until recently been considered considered mainly agricultural. The wage earners in point of numbers numbers and industrial pay roll are now equal to those of Massachusetts Massachusetts (a manufacturing center); of all the other New England . states combined; of all the southern states combined; and are more than double those of all the western states combined. it From the figures given, the average Canadian workman earns yearly about $435. Contrasted to this is the new Ford wage scale, which makes the minimum for its workmen about $1200 yearly, approximately three times as much as is received by the average worker. 3,638 Canadian Fords in April Ford, Ont,, May 18, 1915.--During April 3,638 Ford cars were built at the Ford factory here, a mark that not only is far ahead of any other automobile production in Britain's Empire, but also ahead of any previous record of the Canadian Ford factory. In March 3,000 machines were turned out, the largest month up to that time, and the goal of 3,600 cars for April was set. Every possible means of speeding up factory output was employed, and with the plant running at maximum capacity théTApril goal was not only reached but passed by 38 cars. The largest single day's output so far was on May 3, when 177 cars were shipped. Ford Garage Opposite Bowman House Marny Colleges Close for Vacation at Midsummer.

D. O. & P. Band gave a fine musical program of popular and classical music. The Bugle Band of the 46th Regt. filled the air with militarism, and inddentully young "Bob" Lavery made the hit of the day with his big drum and the clever way in which ,h= manipulated the drum sticks. John Mackey Mackey and "Rachael Ford" also attracted much attention as they piloted Fire Chief Edger around town. The attendance at the park morning and afternoon was very gratifying to the committee in charge. The promenade concert at night was called off, it being quite evident that the people îad "overindulged" in the pleasures of the day. castor 1A For Infants and Children. flu Kind You Haw Always Bought Bears the gtitnatore of Pay-Up-Week is May 31 to June 7.
