Said a well-known Toronto shoe manu facturer the other day: ‘‘An act for the equitable distribution of assets is one of the

. : ‘ greatest business needs of the day in Can- ada.” And he was right. There is a great number of chattel mortgages and bills of sale constantly being issued, and often one does not know “who is who” until the maturity of the mortgage unless he watches the record. And indeed a chattel mortgage is a very convenicnt and arapid method of security. No wonder, therefore, that so many wholesale dealers prefer it.—Mone- tary Times.
