NEW WAY--1 barrel of Pickles, 140 pounds, Liverpool to
Winnipeg, C.L. rate and Winnipeg to Calgary, C.L. rate,
including forwarding charges at $3.04½ $4.68
The saving of freight on this barrel of pickles alone
was $3.45.
Table No. 1 above shows class rate comparisons and will make clear the
savings possible on drygoods shipments under proposed new grouping and
loading.
Supposing in some cases it were not possible to make up a carload of
drygoods for Calgary or Edmonton, shipments from Liverpool to Winnipeg
in carloads and thence to the Alberta points by first class or less
than carloads would still show an appreciable saving as indicated by
Table No. 2.
Due to our inability to make up carloads from Winnipeg to
Vancouver--and the combined carload rate from Montreal to Winnipeg and
L.C.L. rate from Winnipeg to Vancouver being larger than the through
L.C.L. rate from Montreal to Vancouver--this saving in freight cost
would not be felt on Montreal or Liverpool shipments of drygoods
to Vancouver. The reason for this is indicated in Table No. 3. The
comparatively lower through L.C.L. rate from Montreal to Vancouver is
made to meet competition with the slower but cheaper water route via
the Panama Canal.

Confirmed Winnipeg Bachelor Meets Waterloo
_The Happy Couple "Shot" Soon After The Event._
By Our Staff Photographer
THIS is the tale of a white-coated masseur who used to
be perhaps something of a woman-hater, the tale of an
irresistibly beautiful maiden in distress, and of the
gossamer strands of a brunette coiffure which were too
short--oh, far too short. It's a story you'll never forget
as long as you can remember it!
The co-respondent in the case, the debonair gentleman in
question, Mr. William Saalfeld, administrator of Winnipeg
store's beauty parlor, though usually triumphantly
successful in the treatment of the feminine's crowning
glory, was baffled to the point of desperation. (Ha!--the
plot fattens!)
Try as he might, he, the designer of fabulously rare
head-dresses, could not induce this charming Madam's hair to
stay "coiffed." Finally in great disgust, disregarding his
reputation for impeccable deportment, _finesse_ and _savoir
faire_, Mr. Saalfeld abandoned this bewitching minx to her
fate, her tresses uncombed, un-marcelled and undone.
