XTO H LITTLE later and it will be our pleasure to invite visitors into this Grand Modern Departmental Store, which is now in course of erection, and will take the place of the magniflcont building that was destroyed by Are in March last. The new building will bo even greater than the old one. It will be one of the sights of the city dur- ing Exhibition week to watch work on this store, as the plan of construction is entirely different to anything ever attempted in Canada before. At the same time it will pay everyone coming to Toronto to visit us at our temporary premises, 84, 8G, 88,90 Yongc Street. There will be found no lack of goods on shelves and counters, and everything, almost, that mortal may want will be found here. In fact we are overcrowded, and at present we are pursuing the plan of getting down the volume of stock that this congestion may be relieved, and have madu prices un\isually tempting. will be opened in the new storc^under the pat- ronage of Her Excellency Lady Aberdeen, A SPECIAL DEPARTMENT where the Laces and other manufactures of the IRISH INDUSTRIES ASSOCIATION of DUBLIN, will be kept for sale. -..^— — _^^^^^^.^^__^_^— R.

PEW of the many thousands who annually visit this great exhibition of Canada reilize the difficulties met and overcome by its first promoters, or th^3 untiring zeal with which these promoters and the executive o.ticers have labored to bring about its present and ever-increasing popularity and success. No small undertaking was it to establish, and carry to a successful issue year after year, in a comparatively new and thinly populated country, an exhibition to suit all tastes and meet all re<|uirements of a rapidly develoj)- ing age and conmiun- ity ; and, overcoming all obstacles, to estab- lish on a firm founda- tion an annual exposi- tion second to none on the continent of America. It will therefore be interesting to give a short sketch of the origin and history to this great Fair, a his- tory, which although already made familiar to many, will none the less bear repeat- ing in a work of this kind. The circumstances under which the Association came into being are, in brief, as follows : — During the annual meeting of the Agricultural and Arts Association, held in London, Ontario, in 1877, the City Council of Toronto sent a deputation to urge upon that body Toronto's claim as the place at which to hold the next Provincial Exhibition. The deputation had authority to undertake on behalf of the City Council, that buildings and grounds should be provided in every respect suitable for the purpose, as at that time the accommodation in Toronto, in proportion to the number of visitors, was totally inadequate. Toronto, however, was not alone iti desiring to be the chosen place, as Guelph also had sent a deputation to urge her claims. However, upon the conditions that new buildings and grounds I'he Head Gardener's Pride. Toronto fndnHtrial Fair, «. tti. •.

Apj)!!- cati o n was made fort h with by t lie Council to the Domin- ion f Jovernment for a lease of a portion of the ordnance land, situate in the western part of the city, as the site for the proposed new E X h i b i t i o n Grounds. This ap- [)lication, however, met with a refusal, as did also a second, but on a dei)utation (jf the Ct)uricil interviewing the Hon. A. G. Jones, Minister of Militia, and several other members of the (Gov- ernment at Ottawa, they were successfnl in obtainini? the desired lease. The Committee in the meantime, had not been idle, but had plans prepared for the necessary buildings, and tenders were immediately invited for the erection of the Main Building, the Atiricultural and Horticultural Buildings, and for the general carrying out of the plans. No time was lost in building the Strachan Avenue bridges, the various approaches and the grading and fencing in of the grounds at the eastern entrance The Council, how- ever, having already in good faith pledge. I the credit of the city to both the Govern- ment and the Agri- cultural and Arts As- sociation, actin new buildings, drives, avenues. etc., making the grounds one of the finest and most picturesijue parks in the city, and similar improvements have been made since that time. The Exhibition^ buildings were opened to the public l)y Lord Duflerin in 1878. The Main Building or Crystal Palace, is built with solid brick foundations, with sides and roof of glass, and notwithstanding its immense size and ac- commodation, it is year- ly found inadeijuate to supj)ly the many ajtjdicants with space for exhibition. The Annex to the Main Building, so called, has been devoted entirely to the exhiiiition of musical instruments, and this is always an attractive portion of the Fair.

Some estimate may be formed of the amount of money disbursed by the Association, when it is stated that from 8500,000 to $1500,000 has been expended on buildings and grounds alone since the commencement of the history of the Fair, and over $400,000 in prizes. A new feature in connection with the last Exhibition, and which proved to be a very popular one, was the establishment of what was very appropriately designated as " Society Row." Here were establishtd in neat and ornamental tents, surrounded by floral decorations, head- quarters during the time of Exhibition for the Grand Lodge Executive Officers of the various Friendly and Benevolent Societies in the Province. The members of the various Orders visiting the Fair embraced the opportunity thus afForujd of meeting their Chiefs, and in a fraternal way llluHti'dU'd Sonrenh'. 15 ito hna nut ceHH.

A register was kept by each Society, and the nanies recorded therein by the visitors showed that they were present at the Fair from almost every part of the North American Continent. Among the Societies who were represented in " Society Flow" were the Patrons of Industry, Indei)eiidont Order of Foresters, Canadian Order of Foresters, Ancient Order of Foresters, Companions of the Forest, Indenendent Order of Oddfellows, Ancient Order of I'nited Workmen, Knights of Pythias, Knights of the Maccabees, the Home Circle, etc. " Society Row " jiromises to become a popular feature and will no doubt be extended in connection with future Exhibitions. A Siring of Prize iyi>inern. The International Dog Show held in connection with the Exhibition has now become one of its features, ranking as it does with the leading Bench Shows of America, being on a par with New York, Chicago and Boston, and occupying the third position with regard to the number of entries and quality of the exhibits. Consecjuently dog fanciers are as eager to secure a win at Toronto as at any of the other large shows, and travel hundreds of miles with their dogs to secure one, as is evidenced by the attendance of exhibitors annually from as fa" west as Omaha, as far south as Arkansas, and east from Boston, New York, Baltimore and Washington, etc. and which lat was very tablished in iions, head- e Executive le Province, iibraced the aternal way 16 Toronto Industrial Fair. SOME mPORTANT FEATURES AND CONVENIENCES. t'lJtX! A\Ii POLICE J'JtOTECTIOX. The most careful and thorough arrangements possible are made to guard against fire. At the Fire Hall on the grounds a detachment of the City Fire Brigade will be present night and day, and the grounds arc con- nected with all the Fire Halls by telephone ; and with the precautions taken it is believed the danger of such an occurrance is very remote. An ample police force, detailed for the purpose by the city, will be on duty night end day during the continuance of the Exhibition. TELEOJtAl'H, EXPRESS A\n POST OE FIVES. The Great North- Western and Canadian Pacific Telegraph, the Telephone and the Express Companies liave offices on the grounds ; and there is a post office at which mails are received and despatched twice daily. VISITORS. Visitors may be assured of finding on the grounds everything neces- sary to the convenience and comfort of young or old during the entire day. Ample restaurants and lunch rooms, managed by experienced caterers, and under the supervision of the Board of Directors as to the price and quality of food, serve n* -als and refreshments during hours of Exhibition at reasonable rates. A barber's shop, wash rooms, and bag- gage rooms for the deposit of satchels, cloaks, etc., and in charge of responsible parties, are conveniently located for the accommodation of visitors. The city authorities will co-oj)erate with the officers of the Association in every practicable manner to ensure the safety and contri- bute to the pleasure of the visitors. HOW TO REACH THE OROVSDS. The grounds, one hundred and ten acres in extent, are the finest, and the buildings tiie largest and most commodious in the Dominion of Canada. They are beautifully located on the shore of Lake Ontario, at the west end of the city. They are easy of access, and can be reached in a few minutes by either of the lines of Street Railway, by th? Grand Trunk Ra'lway cars, running every few minutes, or by a line of steamers on the Bay, which land visitors directly upon the grounds. Cheap rates will be granted on all Railways in Canada, and Special Kxcursions have been arranged on all the Railways in the adjoining Northern States, so that a visit to Toronto at the rime of the Fair will be brought within the reach of all, and those who come will be amply repaid for theJi time and trouble. ADMISSION TO THE O ROUNDS. Admission to the grounds will be by means of registering turnstiles, and each person must purchase the proper ticket at the Ticket Office before entering. TORONTO. A BRIEF REVIEW OF SOME OF TORONTO'S LEADING WHOLESALE AND RETAIL HOUSES. ■jJ AVING, in the preceding pages, followed the history of Canada's ' great National Fair from the commencement to the present time, and noted its steadily increasing popularity and present assured success, we can with equal sat- isfaction, pass in refview some of To- ronto's foremost in- dustries, and mark their corresponding growth and p e r- manent success and stability, and with all the more pride may we contem- plate the prosperity of our merchants when we remember and realize that it is to the untiring efforts of our fore- most business men that the success of the Toronto Exhi- bition is mainly due; men who have built up their own busi- ness side by side with our Exhibi- tion and who have helped to make Toronto, as a commercial centre, what she is to-day. If our annual Exhibition has made great strides, still greater has been the improvement and progress i'l our manufactures and indus- tries ; and the massive appearance of tne wholesale houses, banks and financial institutions, and elegance of appointment and variety and quality of goods of the retail establishKiv,nts of Toronto, are alike the wonder and surprise of e-ery visitor to our fair city.

If any evidence were needed to emphasize the high flnancial status of Toronto in the commercial world it could be found in the number of first class monetary in- stitutions established in this city, which is in itself a guarantee of confidence in the city's future. Besides the large number of home institutions located in Toronto, it is gratifying to notice the m.any solid old world companies which have established branches in Toronto and other Canadian cities. Chief among these latter we may mention the Standard Life Assurance Co. of Edinburgh, Scotland, and a few facts concerning this company will be sufflcient to testify to its rank and importance. The Standard Life Assurance Co. of Edinburgh, Scotland, with Canadian head ofHce in Montreal, is the leading British Company and holds the foremost position among the life companies of the world not only for its splendid financial position but for thi, high reputation it bears for liberality and fair dealing with policy holders. The General Manager tor Canada is Mr. W. M. Ramsay, one of the most popular Yonsic Street Wharf -from the liav. of Canadian Insurance Managers, his genial, kindly manner has joined liim hosts of friends, and he is held in great esteem both by offlrors of the Company and tlic world at lar^e. Mr. Charles Hunter is chief agent fo. Ontario and h s uniformly courteous bearing entitles hiw to the good wishes and respect of his friends and business men generally. The Toronto branch, of which Mr. Hunter is manager, occupies a hand- some suite of offices in the Bank of Commerce building. The new free policy of the Standard is most liberal, it is unconditional and allows residence in any part of the world without extra eharjre ; a policy five years in existence runs for thirteen months without payment of premium. The Standard has nearly twelve millions invested in Canada, and its surplus of assets over liabilities in Canada is almost double the surplus over liabilities of tlic combined Canadian companies and nlmost equal to the surplus over liabilities of the Caiuiriian, British and American companies. The above figures bear a signifi- cance wliich cannot be over-estimated and are f icts which need no embellisliing.

THE CANADIAN MUTUAL LOAN AND INVE8TMKNT COMPANY. The Canadian Mutual Loan and Investment Company, of Toronto, whose offices we show below, waa incorporated in 1890. Mr. J. J. Withrow, President of the Industrial Exhibition Asso- ciation, is President of the Com- pany. The Company was established for the purpose of advancing money to its members repayable by instalments, to enable them to become possessors of freehold properties, the secondary object being to provide a safe and profi- table method of investment. The Company has progressed steadily in public favor, and is now the largest National Loan and In- vestment Company in the Dom- inion.

Few of the many millions who use chewing gum understand its origin and pro- cess of nnvnnfftcture, and it will be interesting to give some idea of the develop- ment of this great industry. Adams' c wing gum or as it is belter known Tutti H'rutti gum is the result of variou'- periments made by Mr. Thomas Adams, senior, who between the years 181^ o IMon ided in the Southei u States. While on various business trips to Mexico Mr. Au ms collected several specimens of nroducts of the soil of tliat wonderful counlrj vhich were carefully laid away as (•uriosities or souvenirs. In 1867 Mr. Adams com lenced experimenting witli these dilferfnt specimens, among which was the gun Chicle— the crude article from wliicli the now well known chewing gums are niadi The Chicle gum exudes from a tree, tlie fruit of which is called Sapodilla. Th. fruit is about tlie size of an apple, delicious in flavor, and largely used by the natives as an article of diet. Tlic gum is collected by Indians and brought to market on pack mules, each mule carrying about twelve arrobas or 'M\ pounds. Mr. Adams, noticing llio similarity in cliaracteristics of this gum with those of rubber, both belonging to the Concha family of gums, and Cliicle b(!ing entirely unknown to the nnirket, and conseiiucntly much cheaper tlian rubber, experiments were made witli a view to tlie cheaper production of hard rubber; the gum, however, could not be successfully vulcanized and this project was abandoned. A little later Mr. Adams noticing the sale of the old mastic clievving ginn, con- ceived the idea of \ilili/,ing Cliicle for that purpose. Kxperiments were made, and Adams' New York chewing gum was the result. About'J5,0(J0 pounds of the gum had 92 Toronto Industrial Fair Souvenir. already been collected, and manufacturing was soon carried on on a large scale. Various improvements liave since boon made in fruit flavoring, etc., until to-day Tutti Frutti chewing gum is almost perfect, and its purity and efflcacy in casss of indigestion have been vouched for by leading physicians. It is a significant fact that the athlete of to-day in training and in contests, in using this gum to allay thirst and keep the mouth moist is but following the example of the Indians or natives of Mexico who, on long .iourneys by waggon or mounted, carry supplies of the Chicle gum to allay the pangs of thirst so trying in a tropical climate. The Adan)s & Sons Company, with headquarters in Brooklyn, N.Y., have the largest chewing gum factory in the world, with branches in almost every civilized country. The Canadian factory and ofBces are at 11-13 Jarvis street, Toronto, and are fitted up with all modern conveniences and machinery. Section of Interior of Main Floor, Oak Hail, King St. E. [o] ,>. t. Javies' Cathedral). OAK HALL. One of the most attractive landmarks of Toronto is the Oak Hall building opposite St. James' Cathedral on King St. East. This is one of the largest retail clothing establishments in Canada, and is a branch of the W. E. Saiiford Mfg. Co., Ltd., of Hamilton. The business was founded by the Hon. W. E. Sanford in 1858 and an enormous trade has since been developed in the manufacture and sale of clothing. Wholesale branches are established at .Winnipeg and Victoria, B. C, and retail depots— known as the Oak Hall Clothing Houses—in Windsor, St. Catharines, Lon- don and Hamilton— the Toronto store being the largest of the five mentioned above. The business was established in this city twenty years ago; since that time the volume of trade has shown a very satisfactory increase, and the present season has been remarkably good owing to improvement in trade and growing popularity of this firm's goods. The present building was erected two years ago on the old site, and was rendered necessary owing to the vast increase of business. It is one of the Toronto Industrien. 83 liandsomc'st and best lighted stores in the city. Ic has f6ur stories and a tower, surmounted bv n figure of Galileo. The exterior is strikingly handsome while the interior is lighted by day with specially constructed skylights and by night with brilliant incandescent electric lights and gas, and so constructed and arranged that by day and night every corner of the large interior is perfectly lighted. The goods handled are exclusively those of the W. E. Sanford Mfg. Co., and are well known as the best cut, best matlo and best trimmed in the Dominion. In ready-made clothing the Oak Hall is easily the foremost in the trade. Visitors to the Industrial Exhibition will see one of the finest displays of clothing on the ground floor of the Main Building, where Oak Hall will show to what a degree of excellence this industry has been brought. The Exhibit will be in a large glass case, and it will not be surprising if many hundreds of our visitors will take the opportunity of their stay in Toronto to supply themselves with outfits at this well-known establishment. Section of Interior, J. Sutclijfe and Sons, lS2-h Yonye Street. J. 8UTCLIFFE & SONS. To visitors. Toronto is already well known for its handsome and well equipped dry goods and millinery establishments, and as one of the representative houses in these lines it is with pardonable pride that we give a brief account of tlie business of J. SutclifiV & Sons, 182-l!-'l Yonge street. Although established but three years in Toronio this flrn) at once establislied its reputation for higli-class goods at moderate prices, and in a little over a year from its commencement had doubled its capacity, and has steadily increased its business ever since. The confiagration of last winter which is still fresh in the memory, not only of eye witnesses but of newspaper readers throughout America, and in which Sut- oiifl'e's tine store was completely gutted, would have been disastrous to cny but a thoroughly substantial house. Business, however, was cai-ried on as usual, almost immediately, in another store, and twelve weeks after the fire the firm was re- I [»■■ ■^ 34 Toronto Industrial Fair Souvenir. established in its original quarters, rendered handsomer than over and were doiuK business as usual. This firm deals only in dry goods, millinery, mantles and boys' and men's clothing and furnishings ; the goods are all high-class, and the system of buying and selling for cash enables the Arm to supply goods at close prices. A courteous reception is accorded to all who visit the store, whether buyers or not, and an inspection of art icles displayed will be well worth the troublcand time spent. The firm is composed of Messrs. J. Sutcliffe. J. E. Sutcliffe, D. E. Starr and F. VV. Sutcliffe. Interior Naaniith's Restaurant, 51 King Street East. THE NASMITH CO. (LTD.) In the matter of lunch counters and restaurants— such an indispensable feature of all large centres— Toronto is exceptionally well provided. Among the many woU equipped establishments of this kind The Nasmit.h Company can claim first place in catering to the wants of business men and women and visitors. The business was first established as a bakery in 1845 by Mr. John Nasmith, father of the present head of the firm, and the first lunch counter was opened in the spring of 1884. Since that time the trade has so increased that there are at the present time no less than six branch stores, lunch counters and restaurants at the following places :-61 King street west, 51 King street east, 152 Yonge street, 08 .larvis street and 28i Colborne street,with well equipped factoryand office at 119-153 Adelaide street east. In August, 1892 the concern was converted into a limited company with J. D. Nasmith as president. Upwards of one hundred people are employed at the various branches, serving many thousands of meals weekly. Besides the restaurant branch of the business the original bakery department has increased to such propor- tions that there is now a weekly output of over 14,000 loaves in advance of the corre- sponding weeks of last year, and the demand is increasing. The chief features of Nasmith's lunch counters are first-class goods, prompt service, cleanliness and moderate prices. m Toronto Tnduatries. 35 /?, Simpson's New Vepartmental Store, Yonyc and Queen Sts. R. SIMPSON'S DEPARTMENTAL STORE. In the great conflaKration of last March, whicli threatened to wipe out that portion ot the city of which Mr. Simpson's store was the central figure, the handsome new- building then occupied, which had been erected but six months, was reducod to ashes. Temporary premises were at once secured at 81-90 Yonge st., business was resumed almost the next day, and with characteristic pluck and enterprise Mr. Simpson immediately commenced preparations for rebuilding on the original site, on a larger scale than before. A short description of the new structure now in course of erection will serve as an illustration of this phase of Toronto's commercial activity. 7^ 33 Toronto Industrial Fair Souvenir. i ill As aJready stated, the new building M-ill occupy tlic site of the former now sUue. turo on the corner of Yonge and Queen street s, and in addition the ^pace occupied by tile old stores 170 and 172 Yonge street and 1 and SQueen street VV. The total front- age on Yonge street will be 118 feet, on Queen 157, and the depth on the Knox church side 141 feet. The building will have seven floors, including the basement, giving a total floor space of three acres. The floor space if stretched out as a ten foot side walk would extend' a distance of three miles. The building will be erected on the Chicago System of slecl frame construction, and the total weight of" the steel will approximate three million pounds, equalling 150 car loads, which if connected end to end would extend from Mr. Simpson's store to the corner of Bloor street, or the corner of Bathurst street. There will be nearly an acre of plate glass in the various windows of the building. The stair cases will be of ornamental iron and slate, and from the mid-landing of the first flight will be a waiting gallery commanding a view of the whole store. All the structural metal work will be Arc proofed with terra cotta and concrete, and the only wood work in the building, other than the shelving, will bo the window frames, the doors and the flniKhed floors which will bo of hard maple. The basement will have excellent day light, as before, from both Yonge and Queen streets. The rear portion will be devoted to Shipping and Receiving rooms. Reserve Stock Rooms, Lavatories and Coat Rooms, each of which will consist of an independent Are proof compartment. In this section of the new building there will also be placed the terminal stations of all the pneumatic tubes running throughout the entire building, telling of the most perfect ca^sh system in operation in any departmental store on the continent. The ground floor will consist of one large apartment entered from both Yonge and Queen streets, and having the business offices in the ^outh-wcst coiner. A large light- well surrounded with ornamental iron railings, will extend through the several stories to the ground floor, Ou the flrst or Millinery floor will be situated a handsomely fitted up ladies' room with lavatories in connection. There will be two handsome electric passenger elevators running from basement to top floor, also electric hydraulic goods elevators. Thcexterior design will be a partial repetition of that which was destroyed, with some variations which will improve the general rfl"ect. The material will be as before brown stone, bufl' brick and terracotta with copper cornices. PI8K TEACHERS' AGENCY. In all branches of industry and in the professions the tendency of the ago is towards social economy in its most practical form. Hurcaus are established for purposes of centralizing efiTort and to bring into more inimediatc contact supply and demand. Artists of tiic highe!?t rank find occupation through the medium of such bureaus or agencies and so on down the scale. The Fisk Teachers' Agency fills a want which must have often been felt both by teachers and trustees nnd principals. Teachers seeking positions foundit necessary to walch closely for advertisements suited to their requirements, unavoidably missing many golden opportunities for lack of information. Trusties were con- fronted with the difficult task of considering applications from persons unknown to llicni with no means of judging as to whether the special qualifications needed for the position sought were possessed by the applicant. All these defects and annoy- ances are remedied by the Fisk Teachers' Agency. Tliis Agency has been established ill Toronto for two years, and is located in the Bank of Commerce building. The manager, Mr. W. O. McTuggart is a.teacherof great experience in this Province, and is an honor graduate of Toronto University, and besides his intellectual train- ing possesses a business experience nnd a knowledge of the requirements of schools and teachers, which eminently qualify him to fill the difficult position he occupies. The Agency supplies school trustees with teachers of all grades, specially Toronto Industries. 87 8uitcd to the requirements of our public schools, from the lowest form to university professors, in all pnrts of tlio Dominion. The Fisk Teachers' Agency is meeting one of the most important rcquiremcntsof our modern educational system, and trustees nnd teachers would do well to communicate with Mr. McTaggart when in need, reapectivoly, either of teaohor-^ or positions.

The business of J. C. Robinson, merchant tailor, was established in 1892, at 1196 Queen street west, under the firm name of Robinson & Ross. On J.anuary 1st, 1895 Mr. Ross retired, and the business has since been carried on witli considerable success by Mr. Robinson. The present premises in the Gladstone Block, at 1206 Qtieen street west were occupied in July of the present year. Mr. Robinson attends personally to the cutting department, and having hud a practical experience of fine tailoring from the bench up, is able to ensure to his customers good fit and finish.

One of the most attractive drug stores of the city is the Uopsin House Drug Store. of which Mr. George Hnrbottle is proprietor. Mr, Harhottle took possession of tlie business in the New Year of 1895, and has already an increasingly prosperous trade. After serving an apprenticeship of four years in Hamilton Mr. Harbottic graduated at the Ontario School of Pharmacy, and eventually started business for himself in Arkansas, remaining there for a period of fifteen years. In (he beginning of the present year ho commenced business in Toronto as above slated, and has had no reason to regret his return to this country. The interior of the store is handsomely finished in white and gold, with plate glass mirrors setting off to advantage the show cases and shelves stocked with full lines of drugs, patent medicines, pei fumes and toilet articles, and in the hot summer months the handsome soda water foun- tain is one of the great sources of attraction. A specialjty is made of i)rescription work, and the proprietor is popular alike with the medical faculty and the public. HEREWARD SPENCER & CO. The firm of Hereward Spencer & Co., India and Ceylon tea merchants, G.3J King St., West, was established in Toronto in 1890, and since that time has earned a reputation for high-class teas and cocoa equal to many of our older houses. Tea is the most universal beverage of the civilized world and no article of daily consump- tion requiressuchcareful judgment and handling. Messrs Hereward Spencer & Co., purchase all their teas from one district in India, thereby securing a continued uniformity of flavour. No table article is subjected to so much adulteration as this favorite beverage and the only security for purchasers and consumers is to obtain their tea from a first-class and reliable house. The goods of this firm are supplied as they are received, direct from the planta' tions of the East, and are not blended with inferior assortments as is so often done with China and Japan teas. The teas handled by this firm are from the gardens of India and Ceylon and have a high reputation for strength and flavor. Messrs.

Adams Bros. Xorth-irest Branch, Syndicate Block, Brandon, Man, ADAMS BROS. The business of Adams Bros., harness makers, is an old-established one. the firm having commenced operations as early as 187Q in Norwich. Oxford Co. In 1881 the business was removed to Toronto, the premises occupied being located at 176 King St., Kast, and consisting of a three story brick building. The ground floor is used as a show-room and here are displayed numerous varieties of harness, saddlery, etc. Forty skilled workmen are employed the year lound. and the goods, being hand- made, are specially warranted for finish and durability. A special feature of this firms' goods is the manufacture of Western cowboys' saddles and trappings ; a flut display is made in the show-room of these Mexican saddles and the firm is justly renowned for this and all their lines of goods. In 1882 the Adams Bros, established a branch house in Brandon, Man., as a central distributing point for their western trade. This branch of the btismess is under the able management of Mr. Chas. Adams and a large business has been worked up in the west. The headquarters of the firm in Toronto is under the management of Mr. J. H.

The inerensing consumption of ale and beer in inverse ratio to the decreasing consumption of spirituous liquors is a significant feature of the liquor trafHc, and may be viewed cither asevidenceof, or a factor in, the spread of temperance, ration- ally speaking. Certain it is, however, that malt liquors as a beverage are growing in demand and the Industry has already assumed very large proportions in Ibis country. Amongst the large breweries nf this city doing more than a local trade the Toronto Brewing and Malting Co. may be specially mentioned as being one of the largest and most important in the city. The brewery itself is one of the oldest in the country, having been built by Mr. John Aldwell in 181fi. This Arm does not manufacture lager, it has always made ale and porter, browing a specialty which accounts for thft excellency of its products being known far and wide. The present company was organised in 1871 and since that time many important additions and r-^ i- of I'd #r .If a 12 Toronto Induatr'mt Fair Sou vctiir. altera! ioiiH Imvi- boon niadu to the old plant, including tho , porter and half-and-lialf, both in barrels and bottles are stored. Thes(! cellars arc Itept always at an even temperature. The storage capa- city is ,T()0,(«M gallons. Thcalc, imrter n id half-and-half of the Toronto Brewing & Malting ('o. are of cMrt-mely fino flavor and body, which may bo attributed to the employment of only llrst clii>s cxp feet in ni/.v, with 12 feet between floors, and two drying kilns '.'1x21 foot. The engine unc injury such process has wrought to savings associations as^ a class, and it having been demonstrated that it constituted an element totally un- necessary in any system founded on eciiiitable and conservative principles, the ■• licliance," which has entirely abandoned these objectionable features, has based ils i)lan of operations upon mctiiods more modern if less drastic. Tiiey have entered the field under the management of a board of directors com- posed of mou holding high public ))ositions. and offering a plan containing so many excellent features attracti\c aliivo to borrower and investor that it can scarcelyfail to talvc its place at once in tlic front rank. The first diversion from "llio beaten track" that is noticed in an examination of its j-rospcctus is tt)e fact that this Comiiany is definite in its statements as to the maturity period of itr instalment stock, differing in a marked degree Jn this respect from other companies who, as a rule give nothing more than a mere estimate of the (late of ihc maturity of its shares. Thus it is enabled to accomplish by extend- ing the date of maturity of the three varitics of this stock over a somewhat longer period than usual, viz., over ten, twelve and fifteen years respectively, and, while the niontnlj payments on the shares are within the reach of the humblest wage- earnor, the greatest care has been exercised in fixing a rate that will bo sufflcienl to insure the maturity of the shares within the several periods named. The same may be said of the accumulative stock of the Company, a most attractive class of stock to the investor of moderate means : of this stock there are also three grades, requiring the payment down of $60, soo and $45, and guaranteed to reach maturity irithovt further imvments of any kind in eight, ten and twelve Toronto Industriea. 49 yearn respectively, when it is convertible into fully paid up $100 almroa of pcrma- nont stock. The permanent Htock again is divided into two classes, possessing some novel features that arc likely to recommend themselves to investors. The first class founders' shares not only pay a fixed dividend of four per cent, per annum, but after two years participate in the profits as well. The second class, fixed dividend shares receive six per cent; per annum, payable half yearly, but does not participate further in the profits of the Company. Without entering into the details of the many improvements to be found in the plan it will be noticed among others that both entrance and withdraw- al fees have been abolished, and the shareholder whose needs force him to with- draw before the maturity of his stock he is guaranteed a return of the full amount he pays into the Company, and after three years he receives in addition a hand- some allowance for interest. Our readers cannot do better than to call at the office of the Company, where tliey will be supplied with full information ; or, if they will write to the manager u copy of the prospectus will be forwarded. 11: Henry A.

Taken in a broad and general sense, dress is the outward manifestation of a man's individuality, of his taste and refinement.

All this requires the Hkill of an artist, not to be eonspicuouHly dressed, which is inartistic, but to bo dressed in perfect taste with faultless fit ; perfection in dress, as in most things is unobtrusive. The Prince of Wales, the leader of fashion in Kngland could not be distinguished by his clothes from n well dressed bank manager. Such an artist tailor as the above requirements call for, is the subject of this sketch, Mr. Henry A. Taylor whose place of business is situated in the Rossin House Block on King street west. Mr. Taylor commenced business here in 1869 with his father, who was himself an exponent of fashion. Mr. Taylor is an authority on the art of clotliing the human form, having made this his special study. He numbers among his patrons, many of our foremost merchants and leaders of fashion, and has issued a neat little brochure, treating of clothes, wluit to wear and how to wear them, which contains many valuable hints and suggestions. He imports direct only the finest grades of cloth and latest patterns, and personally supervises all the work done in its various stages. In conclusion we would say that it is the duty of all men and to their best interests to be well dressed in every walk of life, and such a desired end can most surely be attained by entrusting orders with Mr. Henry A. Taylor. The Wilkinson Plough Go's Works, THE WILKINSON PLOUGH CO. (LTD.) Among the many manufacturing concerns which have grown from small begin- nings in a small town to large dimensions, and finally located in Toronto as a central manufacturing and shipping point, wc would invite special attention to The Wilkinson Plougli Company. Wilkinson ploughs were first made in a very small way in 1868 in the township of Whitchurch. In 1870 work was commeipcd in Aurora with about fourteen men. Owing to the destruction by Arc of the works occupied in 1876. new buildings were provided and business was carried on in the same place till 1889. In this year the business was removed to Toronto, and the present extensive buildings in the west end of the city erected, a change rendered necessary by the great increase of trade and the requirement of better shipping facilities. The unbounded success of the Wilkinson ploughs and scrapers, etc., is due to the following reasons :— Only first- class material is used in manufacturing the difl'orent parts ; great care is always taken with the smallest detuils; and the best skilled mechanics are al ways employed. Perhaps, however, the most important factor in the success of the Wilkinson Plough Company is the intimate and practical knowledge possessed by Mr. Wilkin- son himself of every detail of the business. Mr. Wilkinson, the founder of the Company, was brought up on a farm, is a skilled mechanic and also a practical ploughman, having taken part in many ploughing matches ; ho is, therefore, emi- nently qualified to superintend the various departments of this large industry. Another gratifying feature of this flmi. and one which speaks for itself, is the fact Ihronto IndustricH. 61 that no less than forty-flvo of Mr. Wilkinson's employees have been uninterruptedly connected with hlni for the past ten years in this business. It is safe to «uy that this firm has done more towards the perfection of iho plough in Canada than any other, and it has also sutferered more than ony other institution, by haviuK its models and patterns used by other firms.

Mcintosh & Sons, marble and Kranite dealers, architectural and uionumental carvers, has been established for about twenty-two years. The busi- ness was carried on for eight years in Ottawa, after which the firm removed their headquarters to Toronto, where they have been established for the past fourteen years. The warorooms are situated at 621-526 Yonge street, and have a frontage of thirty feet by a depth of 150 feet. The works are on the corner of Yonge and Rose- hill avenue in Doer Park, and measure 100x120 feet. These works, which are operated by steam power, are the most extensive monumental works in Ontario. Thirty men are employed, and the best modern appliances are used, among them J 62 Toronto Industrial Fair Souvenir. being a pneumatic hammer for lettering, cutting muuldings and carving; tliiH hammer \b the very latest labor-saving device invented for thin business. Messrs. D. Mcintosh & Sons have in the long course of their career built up a very extensive business, which extends from Quebee in the East to Calgary in the West, and it is a sufficient evidence of thoir high standing to mention that they have erected nearly all the principal monuments in Ontario, among the many being the Massey Mausoleum, the Honorable Alexander Morris and H. E, Clarke, Esq., M.P.P. monuments in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, the Sir John Macdonald pedestal in Queen's Park, the battlcfleld monuments at Lundy's Lane and Chrysler's Farm, Ontario and Chanteauguay, Quebec, the monument in Stratford for the late James Trow, Esq., M.P, for South Perth, and many others. They arc now at work on a Mau- soleum in London, Ontario for the late Annie Pixley, costing about ?15.000, and the monument in memory of the brave volunteers killed in the North-West Rebel- lion. From the above it will bo seen that Messrs. I). Mcintosh & Sons occupy the head position in their business, and it is safe to say that they do more work than all the other firms in Toronto combined. The members of the firm aie Mr. D. Mcintosh and his sons John and D. T. Mcintosh. Telephone 127fS.
