Mrs. George Young disposed of her household eflects on Saturday and tells us she had a good attendance and received 500d prices. As the day approached she was apprehensive. as the only publicity was a small display ad. in The Chronicle for two weeks preceding the sale.

The flour shipped out of Mont- real was charged at a rate 01'21 cents per 100 pounds against a lfi-cent cut rate out of New York. Even if the Canadian miller sent his flour to New York for shipment, from there he was charged 21 cents.

This truck is the first one we have seen equipped with a radio outfit, and, according to the driver, is the only one of its kind in existence. He tells us that going along the road on long trips, especially at night, the radio is good company, and, in pass- ing through towns he sometimes gives an entertainment with the aid of the amplifier carried. While here the driver tried to raise an air con- cert for The Chronicle staff, but as it was a little early in the afternoon. was not successful. He left about three o'clock for Mount Forest with a cargo of flour from Hanover. His original trip was from Hamilton to Chesley with a load of merchandise. Wedge, the Mover, of Hamilton, who advertises himself as “The Dad- dy of Tim Ali." had one of his big moving vans in town Tuesday on the way home from Chesley, and we had the pleasure of'looking it over before it started on its long run back to Hamilton, from where, we were told, it will load up and make a run to Cincinnati with another freight cargo.
