In 1668 the Nonsuch, a fifty ton ketch sailed from London to Hudson Bay carrying a cargo of trade goods. The fate of the Hudson’s Bay Company, and indeed, of western and northern Canada depended on the success of her voyage, for Croseilliers and Radisson had described to King Charles the wealth of furs found in the New World, but the existence and accessibility of this wealth had to be .-stablished. The valuable returning cargo was hailed with joy and the company of court Gallants who backed the adventure was incorporated, on May 2nd. 1670, as “The Governor and Company of Adventurers of England trading into Hudson Bay.” GOING TO BUSINESS COLLEGE?

ELECTRICITY . . Still Your Best Buy As we all know only too well, a nickel does not go very far in the present day and age, but consider what 5 cents worth of electricity will do: in the aver¬ age Winnipeg home it will run a TV set for 22 hours, a refrigerator for 35 hours of actual operation, toast 300 slices of bread, do 20 washes in an automatic machine, operate an electric fan or a radio for about 70 hours. Yes, electricity is such a bargain that Winnipeg homes use an average of over 7,700 kilowatt hours each year, or approximately twice the national aver¬ age. And no wonder, for they pay an average of only .754 cents per kilowatt hour, one of the lowest rates anywhere in the world. I COMPLIMENTS OF R. LITZ SONS 57
