1u St. Louis Erected 1694 Demolished 1838 bu OLD QUEBEC > On the cliff of Old Quebec is America’s most romantic site..... There, in 1620, France built her stronghold inthe New World, Ft.St. Louis. In 1694, her governor’s mansion, Chateau Louis. Round them raged 150 years of strug- gle for empire.....There, in 1892, Canadian Pacific built another medieval chateau,— Chateau Frontenac, hostelry extraordinary. Chateau Frontenac grew. First, a long wing. Then, more wings, towers. Finally, in 1923, a great keep rose to the sky. Chateau Fron- ter became truly the castle baronial. The original chateau shrunk toa mere out-tower. But, to Old Quebec, it held all the sentiment of that historic site. For, Quebec treasures the old. 17th Century Normandy lives and throbs in its rues and maison: And so, this original out-tower is being restored..... Today, you find within Chateau Frontenac’s castled walls, 550 modern rooms with bath, luxurious public spaces, most modern ser- vice. This June, you will also find the new, old part,—the original tower, fully restored. This spring! Surely a dramatic time to visit “Normandy in America”. Early reservations are advised.

Dear Sik J have a great invention and wi would advertise it for me free of a’ cost to me. My invention is this: a de vice for making stamps permanent Simply tse a transparent corner on the envelope and place the stamp beneath the transparent paper, inside of the en velope. When the postmaster takes a whack at the stamp to cancel it he won't touch it. The recipient can use ame stamp for sending the reply In fact, the same stamp can be used any number of times. The Gover ment will soon be saved the expense of printing new stamps, and think of the great saving to the millions of users in tha United States. My next invention will be a washable and re-usable envelope so that the post master’s marks can be washed off the transparent corner. Entirely too much money is being spent for stamps and envelopes N.G ARBER (to customer): And what will you have on the hair, sir? Customer (in a very bland voice): A wreath of smilax. comicbooks.com i}
