"HOT DOC" IN CANADA
"Until I went to Canada in 1926 I could never understand why the Canadians spent so much money in importing sausage casings from New, Zealand —about £370,000 a year it is now," said Mr. J. ; W. Collins, New Zealand Trade Commissioner to Canada, at the Auckland Chamber of Commerce luncheon on Thursday (reports the "New Zealand Herald"). "I found the explanation when I lauded at Vancouver and went to a football match. I was accosted by a small boy who solicited business in these words: 'Hot dog, ton cents. Good for folks.'- In my travels through Canada I soon, camo to realise the enormous production and sale of the so-called 'hot dog,' and I did all I possibly could 'to increase the consumption of that delectable food. When I am among the Canadians again I am going to use my best efforts to induce them to put in a bit of butter with the bread and the mustard that always accompany tho 'hot dog.' If they do it will mean at least another 10,000 tons a year." (Laughter and applause.)
