The article contains a copy of Bob Edwards' resignation as chairman of the Advertising Committee of the Board of Trade, Calgary, Feb. 22, 1907. His job was to entice newcomers to Calgary through pamphlets and advertising literature, which he refused to do any longer because of the lies he had to tell. He goes on to say "Here in Calgary we pay 10 cents for a loaf of bread, and the farmer gets 50 cents a bushel for his wheat. Why don't you put that in your pamphlets?"
