But it really wouldn't matter. A Gallop Poll reports that the

Unopened means unread. Unread means ineffective. And
ineffective is unnecessary. Because you can reach a lot more
people and save a lot more money when you advertise in a

You see, consumers don't habitually discard their newspaper

unopened. They pay for it and read it. They also believe it

THIS WEEK IN HISTORY
Fort Victoria stood —

in way of progress .

ort Victoria was es-

tablished by the

Hudson’s Bay Com-

pany in 1843. The
site of Fort Victoria was the
area roughly bounded by
Wharf Street, Broughton
Street, Government Street
and View Street. Today, in-
laid bricks along the
western sidewalk of
Government Street and pla-
ques delineate the original
site.

The fort was composed of a
stockade with a bastion at the
southwest corner and anotherin
the northeast corner. Gates into
the compound were along the
west and east walls. Interior
buildings for residences, offices
and a school were laid out, leav-
ing a large, central courtyard
area.

As the town of Victoria grew,
the fort became an obstacle to
development. In 1860 the first of
the bastions was dismantled
and most of the stockade fence.

was the South West Bastion. It

was finally dismantled on Nov.

24, 1862. The British Colonist
newspaper recorded: “Bit by bit

all traces of the Hudson's Bay ~
Company's old fort are being
obliterated. The work of demoli-

tion of the remaining fort build-
ings has been going on
gloriously during the past few __
days. Yesterday evening the last |
of the number, an old log house, 2
adjoining the Globe Hotel, |
formerly used as a kitchen, was
brought to the ground. The *
structure was very strongly put
together, the wall being CO aa
structed of double rows of stout
logs, and the interstices filled |
with beach shingle to render it
bullet-proof.” )
