OHN J. DALY, dealer in real estate and publisher of the Canadian Farm Advertiser, Guelph, Ontario, was born in Durham, Ont., May 26th, 1855. He is of Irish parents; his father, who was a retired farmer, died in September, 1890. Mr. Daly began his education at the Durham Public School, and continued it in other parts of the province. His time was spent until he was twenty-one years of age, partly in keeping up with the regular school work, and partly in gaining a practical knowledge of Agricultural pursuits. Afterwards he spent four years studying in prominent law

offices in Canada and the United States. This, with his formerly acquired general knowledge, gave him ample qualifications for entering upon his plan of establishing a sound and extensive real estate business upon an original basis. Mr. Daly's efforts in this direction have been more than successful, as he is now the sole proprietor of the most extensive real estate business on this continent. The Canadian Farm Advertiser, published by him, is one of the main elements of his phenomenal success, and shows very fully a keen and shrewd business disposition, an untiring energy, and an enterprise and supervision rarely found in any business. Although but eight years have elapsed since he began business, he now has hundreds of agencies in Canada, and is making extensive connections with the United Kingdom. The Guelph Mercury says: "Mr. John J. Daly has returned from Europe, where he has established agencies with prominent business firms in London, Glasgow, Belfast, and Dublin." Mr. Daly takes no prominent part in political or public matters, owing to his business requiring all his time and attention. In business dealings, he is liberal, and one of the most able and highly respected business men of the city of Guelph. He has never used tobacco, and is of very temperate habits. He was married, in February, 1888, to Miss Mae A. Halley, only daughter of William Halley, Esq., of Chicago, U.S.A.
