The\nworld is now commencing to realize that sooner or later silver must\nbe called upon to assist gold in\ncarrying the financial burdens of\nthe world. The shortage of gold\nis becoming more acute each year,\nand as the wealth and population\nof the world increases, the demand\nfor gold will become greater. It\nhas been shown by several economists that a world shortage of\ngold inevitably leads to falling\nprices, such as we are witnessing\ntoday. There are no known large\ndeposits of gold existing that can\nsupply the present deficiency. That\nbeing the case, the financiers of the\nworld will be forced to adopt bimetallism. There seems to be no\nalternative. The adoption of bimetallism would not probably\nsolve all of the world's troubles,\nbut it would greatly assist as a\nstabilizing influence and the great\ntrade depressions, one of which we\nare now experiencing would be\nconsiderably minimized. Bimetallism would of course, mean a standard market price for silver, and\nthis would automatically eliminate\nChina's present financial difficulties,\nand allow her 400,000,000 population to trade with the rest of\nthe world.\nBrief Items Provincial\nActivities\nA promising' discovery of lead-\nzinc-silver has been made north of\nPort Hardy, Vancouver Island.\nGrain shipments through Vancouver to a recent date totalled\n36,545,443 bushels as against 18,\n679,810 bushels for the same period\na year ago.\nDid you ever visualize the fact that\nmore fortunes have been made in\nmodern times by advertising than\nany other means? Perhaps you\nhave never realized it, but it is\nnevertheless true. Constant advertising alone has been the result\nof the tremendous sales of nationally known goods. The manufacturers of these goods have learned\nby experience that as soon as advertising is curtailed the demand\nfor their goods decreases in proportion, To those who have\nanything to sell even in small towns\nsuch as Anyox and Alice Arm,\nadvertising is just as essential to\nthem as the big manufacturer.\nWhether you have merchandisp to\nsell, fire or life insurance, a meal, a\nticket lo a picture show, dance or\nconcert, a game of pool, or whatever it is, then don't be afraid lo\nadvertise it in your local paper.\nSome figures taken to January\nI st of this year seem rather at variance with a period of depression.\nThe number of motor cars registered in the province to January 31,\n1931 was 62,119 as against 58,522\nfor the same period a year ago, an\nincrease of 3,597.

In the\nnumber of telephones to population\nBritish Columbia bus an easy lead\nover all the other provinces.\nDuring 1930, in Greater Vancouver 27 new manufacturing establishments began operations with\nan estimated payroll of over $300,\n000, and 36 established factories\ninvested over $1,500,000 in new\nbuildings and plant expansion.\nThere are about 1600 manufacturing plants in Vancouver. last year\nthe volume of business on the whole\nwas below that of 1929, with an\naverage about equalling that of\n1928.\nFollowing the success of fur-\nfarming, an attempt is now being\nmade to promote \"fish farming\"\nin British Columbia. An undertaking is under way to obtain from\nthe Provincial Government the\nlease of a small lake for the purpose\nof stocking it with whitefish, lake\ntrout or other commercial species,\nwhich in three or four years could\nbe taken out to supply the market\nwith fresh water fish.\nAdvertising shows that you are\nalert, and anxious for business, and\nthere is just as much advantage for\nyou in advertising your small business in a small paper as the big\nbusiness who spends millions of\ndollars on advertising. There is\nno surer way of your message\nreaching the public than by advertising. If you have anything to\nsell, try an advertisement in the\nHerald, and you will probably be\nsurprised at the results obtained\nfrom the small investment.\n3C3C3C\n3C30IZ3CDC:\n-ir==ir\nCandies, Stationery, Proprietary\nMedicines, Toilet Articles, Etc.\nW.
