UNTAKIU EQUITABLE IN NEW PREMiSES Waterloo‘s youngest insuqnee company, The Ontario Equitable, which was organized about two years ago, now occupies its new home office building, a substantial and impresâ€" sive structute in the heart of the town. Its comâ€" plete renovation during the past few months has converted it into a building admirably adapted for the purpose to which it is to be put, the changes having been excellently plannâ€" ed to promote the efficient and expeditious handling of the company‘s rapidly growing business as well as that of the Reâ€"insurance Company of Canada which is under the same management. . BIG WHEAT CROP ESTIMATED To commemorate the removal into its new building an official opening was held on Monâ€" day afternoon, August 21st, at which Mayor Weichel of Waterloo declared the building for mally opened. The opening was preceded by a luncheon at the noon hour, the gathering inâ€" cluding prominent public men who commended the enterprise and comptimented the company on its new home. The Equitable Building has an interesting history having at one time housed companies which have enjoyed a marvellous growth, inâ€" cluding the Mutual Life of Canada â€" and the North Waterloo Farmers Mutual. It is one of the old landmarks of Waterloo and its converâ€" sion into a modern office building will be welâ€" comed by citizens generally. The President,. Mr. S. C. Tweed, through whose initiative the Equitable Life was formed and those associated with him, have shown themselves to be imbued with a spirit of enterâ€"‘ prise which spells progress. This is strikingly evident in the record made up to this time. That their optimism and faith in the future expansion of the companies with which they are allied may be amply fulfilled is the earnest and sincere hope of friends not only in the immediate community but of others throughâ€" out the Province and Dominion.

"‘Sir: A proposal has come to me from friends of the Progressive parâ€" ty in the City of Toronto and in some other cities looking toward the callâ€" ing at some time i n the not too distant future of a Progressive conâ€" vention for the Province of Onâ€" tario. . "It is recognized that the strength of the Progressive Party of Ontario is found in the rural districts, but that there are many in the villages, tewns and cities who think as we do politically, and who will be willing and eager to aid us when the time comes for a test of our strength in the province. "With a view to enlisting the acâ€" tive aid of these urban friends it has been proposed that a general conâ€" vention should be called which these would be invited to attend. "First, however, it has been sugâ€" gésted that it woul dbe weli to get in touch with these urban friends and find ou their views on the,mat ter.
