Judd Oh, Toronto's in her glory at Exhibition time, She is full of lite and vigor, with folks from every clime; And merchants by the thousand come, with their countless wares, To help to swell prosperity that everybody shares. "Tis here we find the engineer has wrought with wondrous skill, To fashion into active power the products of his will. The motor cars, like living forms, all in resplendent hue, 4 Throw radiant beams of shiging light their pathway to pursue. The aeroplanes soar high aoft, like purring monsters grey; And motor boats go dashing by in clouds of sparkling spray. The Radio, like mystic shrine, gathers with eerie wings, The message of the human volce from whatever source it springs. The wonders of the "magic eye" are manifold indeed, It vies to wrest the honor from the "button" for its speed; And it you wish to freeze your cream all ready for a treat, The only thing you have to do is--*"just turn on the heat." And household needs are not forgot in woman's stately realm, For marvels of electricity are always at her helm. She washes by its hidden power, her "Hoover" rolls along, Aud every act that she performs she does it with a song. The farmer, too, goes out to plough, with pleasure and with pride, He need not walk the whole day long, he may with comfort ride, His mower and his hayrake now control a swarth so broad, x That with little time and trouble a large hay crop may be stored. ------ 2 His reaper does the binder's work, it also threshés grain; Ni Then drops the bags In handy piles for gathering up again, His house is piped with water, fresh running like the brook, : And every kind of man's device is there with which to cook, One cannot tell of all the things that herein may be found. Here birds and beasts and fishes, and creeping things abound. Here human crafts and human arts To show forth the great majesty of Him who rules on high, with nature's wonders vie, The world's largest annual exhibl- tion will this year celebrate its 65th anniversary. The opening date this year Is August 25th and the closing date September 9th. Its history dates from 1879, when Toronto, the Capltal of Ontarlo, was a hopeful centre with a population of about 95,000 compared with 856,618 at present; when the total population of all Canada was lesa than 4,000,000.as against 10,600,000 in 1933; when there was no across the Dominion, when motor cars and aeroplanes were things merely dreamed of, and wireless telegraphy, the radlo, and motion pictures had not even entered the, most vivid Imagiua- tion, ' In 66 years the annual exhibition In Joraninalet, Letoms the greatest in the world, for in the short space of two weeks it attracts about 2,000,000 persons to see displays of somp of the most remarkable examples of human ingenuity, some ot the best products In art, sclence, industry, agriculture, hor- ticulture and other spheres that it is possible to gather together. ) The exhibition, site is within the limits of the city of Toronto and flanks Lake Ontario for one mile and a half, On it are 100 permanent buildings of attractive designs erected at a cost June, 1933." 111 Milverton Blvd, Toronto, Ont. trans-continental railway | a Over Half Century of Continuous Success of millions of dollars.
