May C 19'2e THfi FLESH£KrCN ADVANCE ' Mark Twain of Canada â-  Tn the days irben interesting l)eople cajne to Canada to fiixl It jlresbly Interfst- • InR there wa-^ nobody could reveal the spirit of the land to them like GeorRC Ham of the C.P R. It is said he put Major I'ond of the â- United Slates out of l)usine8s. Why Ko on a weari- some lecture tour Jnder that ini- pressarlo's KUid- ance when George Hani ooulj transport yovi to Winnip"!! and on throucli the dfliKhis of Ihc Iloi-kle;; In all thf comfort of a R 11 m p t 11 o u K roach? Great per. f^onacps l.esppch h'ni to rnW them liv their liibi names. He has Innni^d matchoa to l:infi; and poten- talcr, and nnio- sraphed phnto- Kravurcii r.f his lealures for ad- mir ns aiithorfwsrs of best sellers. There rlid once seem to Iio a time vhcn the liuly grtal would not venture to come to (lanaUa williout first ascenainin;; whether GcorKe Ham could receive them. He is taid to have KOI so "fed up" with dukes and loyal bodies that he did not mind, for a change, eseortinpc untitled i)prso:i3litips of inlcrnational fame. Many men who.=!e iipnaluics command inipcrioiu; |K)wer would no mora thinl; of foinetting lo :und hir.i Iheir Chri.stmas; cards than they would dream of ncgleciing a royal command. Ho is «o very much persona grata \vi;h all kind.s oT people in Wlio'.s Who. when !ic r.rrivcs in l^mdon the court circular !ii â- . to be enlarged to publish l.iic ir.vitr.tlons l.-s;icd iu his honoi-. .Now he ha:! achieved thi- signal honor of an unpaid-for mention in the exclu.sive Morning I'ost. Ir feels leliever] to linorr that even if the League of .Nation-T bo jeo;!ar!iized. the offlrial entertainer of the C. P. R. is keeping his health and revellin.g in lils liigh spirits. Thi» l.-ight though aristocratic London p:iper says Ceorge IJam in tiie Mark Twain of (Canada. It clalrir. hi.i jesis are beyou'.l coraputalion. Ho will yet go down to fame a.--, having originated nw ioke. He bai l)e<'n as generous with hlr, humor as he hai l)epn a profitablo acquaintance for profe:-is:onal jokesmlths. As he nnvrr has p.iirnled anv of his in- imitable quips he often laughs at them wlien he he.-;r.i i!ic;n rn the slag", until he ri'^ilir.cs that they were of his own :nai<in:;. ".'on nay havo lieard of the (â- incinnati inillio.naire he tool: to Muskoka. While there the plulocra. wa.-. altiicked by br'gands from Toronto. The chief bri- gand later complalni'd to the police that in the encounter his watch and chrin had lieen stolen. It .-ihould bo p.dded that George Ham was not out with his Cincinnati charge .when the watch and chain were stolen. Thousands of persenaccij who have cnjoyefl seeing Canada have testified" to how much thNr enjoyment was due to his Uindly wit and indefatigablo- Bltcntion. They have pa;d tribute to tiic courtesies he knows so well! how lo extend in l>e.half of hi<i railway. But pcrhnpn one of the best tributes ever paid this incomparaJjle humorous cicerone of the railwayj ties, was a copy of verses by Mr. Neil Miinro. the Scottiish author. Hej Bang how George Ham haxi "freighted laughter ten thousand liiiles." when acting as uncle, aunt, brothor. father and grandfather to a party of nritiah scribes. They think in Britain that not to have known George HajB of tic C. V. n. Is to display iguoranee of the Empire's geography.

G. B. Wclton Flcshertoa,. Ont. m m MAXWELL Has Won Its Following Through Its Quality THE metals used in the Maxwell chassis compare favorably pound for pound with those in the best cars that the world has produced, according to metallurgists. There is a real reason for this quality in a Maxwell. The fundamental purpose of the Maxwell is to carry the same passenger load over the same roads and at the same speeds as larger and more ex- pensive cars. But it must perform this mission -in an ex- tremely economical way. Therefore the Maxwell has to be light. But to make i t^t rong as well as light only the very best of materials c;ut be employed. Hence, the quality metals. And it is tjirough the quality of its metals that Maxwell has developed its following. This is a following that began five years ago with a foundation of 5,000 and now reaches u mark of 1(X),0(X) new Maxwell enthusiasts in 1920. 300,000 Ma.xwclls now on the highways of two continents are a dail^ endorsement of the merit of this greater. '^ Come and see the Maxwell â€" get behind the wheel yourself â€" put it to the most critical tests. E. E. WATSON, Dealer Priccvillc Ji\t'
