OU’D be surprised at the places you could
go, the pleasure you could have, the thin

you could do, and the time
you only had a Ford.

_ You could go over and call oftener on your
friends and liven up those “lonesome” nights.
Your friends would then begin to repay your
calls—and you know just how evenings fly
when friends drop in. 7

In good weather, you could drive the family out on Sunday
afternoons to the lakes, or the groves, and places where the
gladness of living abounds.

You could go oftener to town~—and
like for yourself and children. '

You could add so much more to your daily life if your
‘family only had a Ford, that it is surprising you haven’t just

-tmade a way to“get one. You probably don’t know on what
easy terms you can buy a Ford, otherwise you just would have
had one long ago. a

Lode-mining has only been in progress about 38 years,
‘and not 20 per cent, of the Province has been even pros-
pected; 300,000 square. miles of unexplored mineral bear-
ing lands are open for prospecting, ,

|The mining laws of this Province are more liberal and
the fees lower than any other. province in the Dominion,
or any Colony in the British Empire. .

Mineral locations are granted to diseoverera for nominal
fees. Absolute titles are obtained by developing such pro-
perties, security of which is guaranteed by crown granta.

you are fined, If, after working
several years for nothing, except
to incur fines, and boarding your-

are fined by an income tax. If
you make booze you are fined; if
