THE OMINECA HERALD, FRIDAY, JUNE 22, 1999 OU’D be surprised at the places you could go, the pleasure you could have, the things you could do, and the time you could save, if you only had a Ford. “ . You could go over and call oftener on your friends and liven up those ‘“Jonesome” nights. Your friends would then begin to repay your calls—and ou know just how evenings fly when friends drop in. In good weather, you could driva the family out on Sunday afternoons to the Jakes, or the groves, and places where the gladness of living abounds. ; Gg : You could go oftener to town—and piek out the things you 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 made away 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. W. 8. HENRY District Agent SMITHERS, B. C.

Hatt, Mrs. Greig, Mrs. Burnett, Mrs. VonHees, Mrs, Bleecker, Mrs. MeKinnon, and Mrs, Mancor. Geo. Forster, principal of Kit- sumkalum School, announced on Wednesday that he was leaying to take up another appointment in southern B.C. The announce- ment will be received with much regret as Mr. Forster has de- servedly become very popular. Several cars of lumber have been loaded to send to Prince Rupert en route ta Japan. The poles are being got away, too, and not before time. Shortage of ears seems to account for the delay with the poles. Dominion Day -igs not to pass without ‘celebration at Terrace.
