Mr. Geo. H. Phillips, travelling passenger and freight agent of the Ottawa, Arnprior & Parry Sound Railway, is a hustler after business for that road. He is a genial, courteous gentleman who carries within his head a mine of general information, and is an entertaining conversationalist. He had charge of the excursion business over the OA & PS Railway during the past summer, and made a grand success of it. At present he is talking up the Ottawa carnival in such glowing terms that the people have been “set-a-thinking,” and there is not a shadow of a doubt but that the OA & PS will have large numbers of carnival excursionists from every point Mr. Phillips has visited. He’s a hummer* in his line and a jewel for the carnival committee.” — Arnprior Chronicle, 1895-01-04
