The garage of J. T. Farr and Sons, Main Street North, was turned into a veritable flower garden on Saturday afternoon and evening, when the Weston Horticultural Society held its annual Flower Show. And in spite of ._ the continued drought, displays were “ Fl!uutizfull and quite !mm:oroua, there MI1 only a very few sections in which entries were not made. * & Mayor Opens Show At eight o‘clock the President of _ the Horticultural Society, Mr. E. f Southall}, called upon Mayor F. W. Mertens to oflicil.llx open the Show. _ Mr. Southall told the gathering that it was with some trepidation that the Directors had first discussed arrangeâ€" ments for the annual Show, due to the fact that the season had been so dry. It was felt, however, that even though other centres had felt obliged to call off their shows, Weston had a tradition to uphold _ regardless of <grweather conditions. Like the actor, the Weston Society had felt "The play miist go on" and. so arrangements were discussed, plans made, and all resulted very happily for the event was highly successful. WANT ADS.

Gratitude to Farr‘s As expressed by the speakers and especially the President, Mr. Southall, the Society in particular and Weston in general owes a debt of gratitude w J. T. Farr and Sons. This firm, ho are General Motors dealers in this district, have, year after year, given their large garage premises enâ€" tirely freé of charge to the Society to hold the annual .Flower Show. Withâ€" out their kind coâ€"operation in this reâ€" spect, Mr. Southall emphasized, a Flower Show could not be held, as the Society could not afford to rent premises large enough to house their exhibits. . So to J. T. Farr and Sons in a large measure Weston owes its yearly opportunity to view the proâ€" ducts of local flower gardens. m.,Of particular interest was the p‘Bouquet for Living Room" display, G';;-eu-_l.

"When I joined this firm as Westâ€" ern Canada mlmrfer for Chevrolet in 1916", explained Mr. MeTavish, "there were only 123,000 motor vehicles regisâ€" tered in the whole Dominion, whereas today there are ten times that number. Yet our aim as salesmen today is exactly the same as it was 20 years ago, namely to supply enough carsâ€" built by Canadians for Canadian conâ€" ditionsâ€"to keep the Dominion‘s transâ€" po‘ration fleet operating at normal. "We are not trying to see how quickly we can reach the ‘saturation point‘â€"they were talking about that in 1916, tooâ€"but rather we are conâ€" centrating on the country‘s logical needs. in order that production may have balance and stability. The fewer the ups and downs, the better the pubâ€" lic will be served". Seeking Alleged Firebug Riding Around in Auto The experience of two decades is summed up thus briefly by C. E. Mcâ€" Tavish, general sales mnmger of General Motors Products of Canada, Limited, who today marks the compleâ€" tion of 20 years‘ service with the Comâ€" pany. :Today, as he begins his 21st year in the automobile business, "Charlie" McTavish is still a youthful personality, with an enthusiasm for his job and a cordial word for those who work with him. An oldâ€"timer as autoâ€" motive executives go, his record exâ€" tends back even beyond 1916, to years of service in the carriage trade, trainâ€" ing ground for so many good men in the motor business today. He touched all the steps of the upward ladder, from office boy to Canadian sales chief. Like many another prominent motor car man, he hails from Ontario, Flesherton being his home town. A YOUTHFUL PERSONALITY ‘The sales objective of the Canadian automobile industry hasn‘t changed in 20 years. It is only the size of Canâ€" ada‘s motor car fleet that has changed.
