THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1915. Sales Increase in a Manner From Printers' Ink, Issue of ber 30th, 1915. When a few weeks ago Colonel J B. Maclean, president of the Mac- lean Publications of Toronto; ex- Septem- conditions in Canada there - were some who believed that he was over- enthugiastie. However, an Ameri- can corporation, the Gerhard Men- nen Chemical Company, of Newark, N.J., has found conditions there to he even-bet¥er than - the colonel stated At the time prospects seemed the darkest over the border, the nen Company tripled its advertising appropriation and determined (0 makesan aggressive drive for the big business in the Dominion. So on July 15th copy began ap- pearing in a campaign which includ- ed newspapers and trade journals, besides direct work on the dealers Already the business of the Mennen Company in Canada has been increas- ed 40 to 45 per cent, and from the ontluok the growth will be continu ed, The main drive has been in the newspapers, although several toous and dollars have been spent in the trafle papers and in direct matter The entire appropriation is estimat ed by. W. A. McDermid, gales and ad- vertising manager, at $13,600. The campaign has been scheduled to run until the *latter part of the winter The Mennen Company has been in business in Canada for 15 years, but never has added to its business so rapidly as during the present cam- paign For ten years the company has operated a factory in the Domin- ion.

Coxall--Views the Tile Draining System On Farm Of Alfred N. Lapum, Near Centre- ville, Charles G. Coxall claims the hon- or of being the oldest merchant do- ing 'business in the village of Tam- worth. He opened store in Tam- worth forty-three years ago. His business has gradually grown until at the present time he has the lar- gest store in the village. When speak- ing to Mr. Coxall on Wednesday ev- ening, a Whig representative learned many things about the growth of the village. At the age of twenty-three years, Mr. Coxall left Kingston for the pur- pose 'of going to Tamworth to start in business. In those days there was a stage running from Sydenham to Tamworth a couple of days each week. On the day that Mr. Coxall started for his future home, there was no stage, and he made tha trip by foot. When he arrived in the village he secured a building 12 by 18 feet, just opposite the site where his store is now located. The fal- lowing day he made his way to Napa- nee where he purchased two wagon loads of groceries. As business in- creased he sought larger quarters. On Friday morning, April 21st, 11895, his grocery store was _cam- i pletely destroyed by fire when thirty- one other buildings were burned. The fire started in a building decu- pied by the hotel. Immediately after the fire lie purchased the site where his store now stands and érécted the present building. He is Son of the late Lawrence Coxall, Wolfe Island, who met death by drowning while crossing from Kingston to Wolfe Island on the ice. It was 'dark when hs father was driving home, and he drove into a large hole where a cord of Wwaod | had broken through during the day. When the body was Tocated, it was sittihg up in the sleigh, the hands holding on to the lines, . In 1874 Mr. Coxall was marriéd at Owen Sound to Miss Elizabeth ireland, Loughboro. Six children were born, three sons and three ters. The sons are: Stanton, worth; Walter, tinsmith, with the firm of McKelvey & Birch, Kings- ton; Lawrence, aftending school at Tamworth. Edith, Addie and Fan- nie are his daughters. A Tile-Drained Farm. Any farmer who doubts that it pays to have one's farm drained with tile should pay a visit to the farm of Alfred N.

In discussing reports which have been circulated about Canada 'dur- ing the last few months, Mr, McDer mid remarked: "Although there have heen state ments asserting that Canadian immi gration has fallen off, we have au thentic figures to show that such | not the case. In one provinge alone there has been an increase of nearly y 500 per cent. in the population "The results which we have ob tained during our present campaigr | verify my opinien of the wonderfu i trade possibilities in. the Dominion When others were retiring from the field, sure that a trade crash would result from war conditions, we tripl ed our advertising efforts and ou big increase in business shows tha we had the right idea." Striking newspaper copy a feature of the campaign vertising has a punch in it, althoug! Mr. McDermid stated that the cam paign was written almost overnight It was prepared with the a stance of a Canadian agency man, (A. J Denne, of the J. Walter Thompso: Advertising Agency.)

In the course of a letter to his bro- ther, Harry- Sutherland gives an in- teresting account of his experiences on the firing line in Belgium. His |latest letter was written in London, Eng., where, at the time of writing, he was enjoying a short stay on leave. He says: "Hope (and feelings) deferred mak- eth the heart of the saint and the soldier sick. My leave became a re- ality, having just landed in England after a. wearisome trip through parts of Belgium, France and across the Channel. For a week or ten days ] have left the lines and trenched fields, where long I've been a ladger. 1 left our battalion, the 2nd Cdna- dian, in the trenches in Belgium, When I rejoin it-may be in another part. "I have nothing startling or sen- sational to relate, having had no ex- citing experiences or hair-breadth es- capes. The war is pursuing the even and uneven tenor of its way. The Canadians were holdimg a line of trenches in the recent drive, and did not get much chance to do a bit. The cold and rainy season set in unusual- ly early in the war zone. Our party used a house in partial ruins. We put one room in the hest possible state. At night we used a brazier to warm the place. An occasional gramophone recital would have been hailed with delight, "One of our men recently Went to' a nearby pond to take a bath, Af- ter undressing, a German shell ex- ploded on the a Side, giving him what may be described as a mud bath shower.

Much abuse is being hando the British Government, to the Cana- dian Govérnment, to General Ber- tram's Shell Committee, and to the ubiquitous D. A. Thomas because Canada did not get more of the shell orders placed on this continent by the Allies, says "Chemist". writing in The Canadian Courier. It is interesting to note that these charges are an- swered by arguments. which not only our limited ability to help in this crisis, but our previous unpre- paredness in case of a war Fe d out to we might have to fight alont. The truth is simple and ¢ yar that Canada would have had more orders for shells if this' country had been further advanced in chemistry. There was a shortage of picric acid and toloul. There was no demand for these substances in Canada, and nat- urally no manufacturers bad erected a two millipn dollar factory to make them. Yet these substances were ab- solutely essential to the making of shells, as shall now be explained. Before picric acid was adapted in 1886, all explcsives for military pur- poses were gun gotton and nitro-gly- cerine, compounds were discovered. Gun cotton was discarded as a shell filler because of premature ex- plosions. It is still used in "'under water" explosives because, unlike gunpowder, dynamite, and acid, it will explode even when wet. Nitro-glycerine cannot be tranps- ported pure, and even when mixed with infusorial earth, frost. Picric acid is made from phenol or carbolic acid. Phenol is treated with sulphuric acid and later with nitric acid, This gives picric acid or trin- itiphenol. Picricacid attacks metals, and the projectile. into which it is introduced must be varnished inside. It ig soluble in water, and, therefore, cannot be used ip mines or torpedoes. {t can be used only in small shells. | In large guns the pressure at firing | is so 'great Jtaat the picric acid ex- plodes prematurely. Consequently | a Hew explosive had to be found for big shells. carbon toloul. It is treated as phenol | was, with nitri¢ acid, and trinitrotol- | oul results. Toloul is made from fcoal, a ton of coal giving up a gal- lon of toloul. of trinitrotoloul is used in every 760- { Ib. shell. Phenol plus nitric acid equals trin- itphenol or picric acid. This brief description of shell ex- plosives shows What the ammunition worker is "up against.

Great Britain's failure to get shells was as much due to a shortage of pic- | ric acid and trinitrotoloul 45 fo any- thing else. s inability to get | shell orders was Jarely dug to the! same cause. We could not supply the completed shell. How Serious this Suation Fr is. may ba lity =H Ld aan re trom the United States.
