Editorial Notes on Weather Commerce Liquor and Public Life

Autumn 1930 brings little complaint except coal dealers. The late 1920s estate of the canned soup originator valued at $100 million, with heavy annual advertising, is noted. Rail and road bumps on Mill Street disappoint motorists and show slow improvement. An Order in Council requires liquor boats to obtain clearance to curb illicit trade with a neighboring republic. Winter plans, anniversaries, tea meetings, and indoor programs are framed as season aims. Rennetein’s prompt action against consumer exploitation is praised as a warning to protect both consumers and manufacturers.
