First Shipment of African Oranges Arrives in Canada THE WORKMAN IT WILL PAY YOU TORONTO EXHIBITION GATEWAY TO THE CANADIAN MARKET WE OFFER EXCELLENT PRICES MONTREAL. Trade within the Empire received further impetus There when nine hundred boxes of foranges of good quality were landed from South Africa. It is believed that this was the first shipment of Es kind to arrive in Canada. The consignment will be sold to fruit Dealers in various parts of the counFOR PLAN MOCK TRIAL; AUGUST 17 LONDON Mr. Thomas Bradshaw, President of the Canadian National Exhibition, Toronto, who has been on a visit to this country, said in an interview before his departure that Canada was anxious to purchase British goods and that it was up to the manufacturers here to take full advantage of the desire and make a point of studying the market more intensely and at first hand. To reach the market. he said. certain difficulties must be overcome, and make no unfair criticism when suggest that these difficulties in most cases have primarily proved to be the lack of knowledge of the Dominion and the best method for merchandising. What is re quired is for more principals of the manufacturing concerns of this country to visit Canada to make a close study of the actual conditions that are confronting them with their trade with the Dominion. The participation of the Empire Marketing Board in our Exhibition last year was, in my opinion, the greatest scheme of propaganda undertaken by his Majesty Government in any part of the British Empire. The Canadian National Exhibition is rightly and correctly referred to as The Gateway to the Canadian Market. and it presents a most useful medium of analysis. ManufacSurers from this country would certainly be in a position to ascertain the possibility of placing their goods in the Dominion.
The Toronto Exhibition enters its 51st consecutive year on August 28, and will remain open for two weeks.
