The Pedlar People Limited, Toronto, Ont.
Gentlemen:—
April 5, 1919.
In reply to yours of March 19th, state that I will let you know when I shall require the #16 ga. Toncan Metal which you have in stock. This firm, the W. H. Freeman Company, will have no other metal. In past years in different parts of their plant I erected pipes made from #16 ga. steel which would last only two years, and eight years ago I erected for the same purpose #16 ga. Toncan Metal pipes, and am pleased to state the same pipes are only now showing rust spots.
I feel sure that Toncan Metal is given the severest test at this factory. Nine years ago I erected a 30" evaporating pipe from Brew Kettle, made from #18 ga. steel at the Hamilton Brewing Association, 50' long. It lasted only 18 months. I then erected a #18 ga. Toncan Metal pipe in its place, and to-day it is still in good condition.
Other firms, such as the B. Greening Wire Co., the H.O.C., the Pure Milk Co., and other customers of mine claim that Toncan Metal has proven to easily stand in use three or four times as long as the same gauge steel, and wherever a customer requires a durable metal, I recommend Toncan Metal.
Yours truly,
(Sgd) G. W. SMITH.
For every severe sheet metal service from roofing to culverts, from tanks to conductor pipe, Toncan Metal offers greater economy and greater satisfaction for your customer. Write to-day for our "Corrosion Book."

Display Sells Razors
The cutlery counter in most hardware stores stands near the door, where the customer lingers, looks around, and wonders what he forgot to buy.
Men are always on the lookout for good razors. The Genco Display Case, sent you with your first order of Genco Razors, gets their attention.
The handsome case will make them look more closely. Your salesman then simply reaches under its glass top and says: "Just examine the edge on this razor."
In a few minutes your cash register will ring. And your customer will be a satisfied customer. For the Genco Razor has an edge that we guarantee: "Genco Razors must make good or we will."

It embodies all the desirable qualities of a really superior pipe vise for it is unbreakable and combines positive grip, powerful action and rapid adjustment with ease of attachment anywhere.

"I used to use Gargoyle Mobiloils"
A remark which dealers almost never hear
THE reason is not hard to find. Users of Gargoyle Mobiloils always come back for more.
Hardware dealers have found that their business grows fast when they stock the complete line of Gargoyle Mobiloils and keep their stock complete.
Read what four dealers have said from their own experience :
Dealer No. 1 — "When we sell a Ford owner Gargoyle Mobiloil 'E' he always calls for it."
Dealer No. 2 — "I have sold noth- ing but Gargoyle Mobiloils in my garage for three years. It is a comfortable feeling, when a transient comes in for oil and asks what you have and you tell him Gargoyle Mobiloils, that he invariably says: 'Fill her up. I know that oil is all right.' "
Dealer No. 3 — "In overhauling cars I have found that in motors which have used Gargoyle Mobiloils the gears are in much better shape, there is less dirt and carbon In the cylinders and the whole motor is in better shape."
Dealer No. 4 — "We have been selling to our trade and using Gargoyle Mobiloils exclusively for the past four years and have found it to be the best. We are now buying Gargoyle Mobiloils and Greases in car- load lots."

BETTER THAN OTHER OILS -YET SELLS K)R LESS
THERE'S no better, stronger selling com- bination in an oil than this ! Better qual- ity— lowest retail price. What more could the consumer want or ask for? Cer- tainly every customer who buys coal oil for heat, light or power wants the best — and at least cost.
Imperial Royalite Coal Oil combines both features. It meets every test that can be ap- plied to oil. It costs the consumer less per gallon. It is pure, high-grade coal oil, highly refined, exactly right for the oil heater, cook- stove, lamp and for the farm tractor or sta- tionary engine.
You pay less for Royalite than for other brands. Your profits are greater, because
you will sell more individual gallons of Roy- alite than the higher-priced oils.
When you consider that Royalite surpasses any coal oil marketed in Canada, and would be cheap if sold at the higher price, you get an idea of its great selling qualities.
Imperial Royalite Coal Oil is always avail- able. You can get it any time on short notice. It is advertised throughout Canada. It is the product of Canada's largest, best-known oil company, whose name stands for everything that is best in producing, refining and mar- keting.
Royalite is worthy of your constant recom- mendation.

A Furnace For Every Need and When You Need It.
"The STERLING" — For the unusual heating proposition that requires a furnace with a large amount of heating surface and one that will deliver large volumes of fresh warm air, the Sterling has no equal. In fact, the Sterling is so unlike other heaters in the results produced that there is no logical basis on which others can compete with it. "It is a fuel saver; nothing better in the field" — writes a customer. You don't have to make promises with the Sterling, but make substantial claims.
Fire-pots HYs to 27 Inches
"The KIR-BEN" — Needs no introduction to most of the trade. It is now a tried and tested product and is known to be a strictly high-grade heater. Dealers in every section of the country are developing a big business with the Kir-Ben. It is easy to sell because one sale invariably leads to another. Sat- isfied users are your best sale promoters.
Fire-pots 17 to 29 Inches
"The IRON DUKE" — A furnace of low construction particularly adapted to houses with low cellars, but equally as effective when installed in houses with high cellars. By installing a furnace of this construction the proper pitch to the hot air pipes may be obtained. The Iron Duke is a medium-priced furnace with all the best features of the better grade of heaters.
Fire-pots 16 to 20 Inches
"The ROYAL"— After all arguments have failed to talk quality and price, don't "give up." We build this furnace especially to meet competition. And in spite of its low price, it is a far better furnace than most furnaces which sell for more money.

Is the Alien a Menace?
IN the October issue of MACLEAN'S MAGAZINE a strong presentation is made of the reason why the people of the West are against further foreign immigration.
"The Menace of the Alien" depicts the foreign problem in the Canadian West as it exists to-day, and shows every one of us why we must Canadianize our Ruthenians, Austrians, Slovaks, and our fifty-seven other varieties before we allow any further "unrestricted" immi- gration.
This article is written by a member of MACLEAN'S MAGAZINE staff who has just returned from a careful, personal investigation of the situation. Shall we have a "White West?" Many Westerners are demanding it. Are the aliens to swing labor into the bosom of the O.B.U. ? It is being done — and what must we do to stop it?
The "inside" story of the routing of the Drumheller miner aliens by returned Canadian war veterans is here told by MACLEAN'S for the first time. What leadership must be substi- tuted for the O.B.U. leadership of these foreigners?
The October issue of MACLEAN'S is a Western number in the sense that it con- tains many articles and stories of distinctly Western interest. For instance :
X "Those Pesky Farmers Out West"
By Hopkins Moorhouse, Author of "Deep Furrows" They have completely upset the old order of things. No longer will politics consist of the comfortable fight between the Ins and Outs with the old party lines main- tained. The grain growers on the Prairies have upset the calculations of the professional politicians and com- pletely changed the face of Dominion politics.
X "Fifty Years in the West"
By Professor W. T. Allison A breezy and readable sketch of the business career of Winnipeg's veteran business man, James H. Ashdown.
"Further Discoveries of New Land"
By Vilhjalmur Slefansson The final and most interesting instalment of Mr. Stefans- son's story of his wonderful trip of five years' duration in the Canadian north in which he tells for the first time of finding new continents in the Arctic and hoisting there the Canadian flag.
X "The Banshee Bell"
By Edith G. Bayne
A bright love story laid in the mountains of British Columbia.
Other Splendid Features of October MacLean's
X "The Turmoil at Ottawa"
By J. K. Munro A comprehensive survey of Dominion politics, written with complete impartiality and absolute candor. It is bright and breezy, with a knock in every line for the politicial opportunists. It plucks many tail feathers from our party leaders.
"Spanish Doubloons"
By Camilla Kenyon The start of a bright and fascinating serial story by a brilliant young writer. It is
