GEORGE DIASO1V,
The Mason Block, an the corner of
Josephine and John streots,w as erected
in 1879 by Joint Mason, of London,
father to the present proprietor and
occupant, Mr, Gebrf;e Mason. Mr.
Mason has carried on the book and
tationery business here for the past
tine years,and has a heevy,wellchosen,
nicely kept, well handled and fairly
marked stook. In standard works,
urrent Literature, tangy goods, station-
ery, sobool supplies, his stock is always
replete. The promises and arrange -
tient are amply large and most com-
plete, the Mason Block being one of
Ito finest structures in Winghatn,
having .cost over { 100. Mr. ],Mason
takes an aetiv interest in public
matters and se ed inthe town council
in past yearsHe knows his calling
well.and 1.4k$ closely after his busi-
ness, Ile as a vary choice assortment
of Ohri oras goods.
A. ROSS.
Mr. A. Ross, of the Popular Book
Store, took charge of the business here
about a year and a half ago. Living
for many years in close proximity to
Wingham, he was thoroughly acquaint-
ed in the town and adjoining country.
A man of good judgment, of sterling
adherence .to sound foundation prin-
ciples, cautious, prompt at his post
and untiring in his efforts to meet the
public demands, his business efforts
have met with more than anticipated
success. In standard and school books;
bibles, stationery, fancy and plush
goods, his stock is most choice, com-
plete and cheap. In toys, novelties,
notions, and everything comprising a
holiday stock, his shop is a veritable
fairyland, having in it appropriate
gifts for all kinds of folks, ofd or
young, little or , great or small.
This great ass 'tment of new designs
and seasona e goods are all bargains

ED. DINSLEY.
This tidy and nicely stceked jewelry
:store was opened by fi-. Ed, Dinsley
ea few months ago, and, we understand,
his success has more than realized his'
.expectations since he began. The
proprietor, who is youuv, active and
obliging, has resided here with his
parents for the last fourteen years,
and sorvedhiis full apprenticeship with
ellr. Halsey Park, who recently re-
moved to Hamilton. We hope the
receut impetus given to the town and
the trade thereby induced, together
with the business of the large country
tributary to Wingham may so increase
the volume of business done in the
:aggregate that this latent addition to
its jewelry shops may be established
.on a broad and solid basis. We have
no doubt those .sealing with Mr.
Dinsley will find ire reliable, agreeably
and honorabl- His stock is choice

Restaurants.
TL1E STAB, BESTAURA.Nr.
The Star, under Mr. Jaa. McKelvie's
management, is the oldest establish•
rnent of the kind in Wingham. Mr.
",McKelvie admittedly has special apti-
tudes for managing such an institution,
being genial, obliging and straight-
forward. lie is sufficiently enterprising
to keep everything in season, besides
keeping on hand a nice, well assorted
and very full lihe of all those goods kept
;in a first-class restaurant. To. enu
anerare half what may be cheaply pro -
?cured at the Star, would be impossible
here, but the proprietor always keeps
fully t creast of the times, and you
.may onfidently call on him for any-
th' g you might reasonably expect to
d in a popular restaurant.
JOHN KERR.
The Eclipse was established by Mr.
.'John Kerr, a native and former resi-
dent of London, in 1883, but ways
burned iu '85. Mr. Kerr reopened it
early in '87. The Eclipse is well
equipped, well managed and,we under-
stand, yields satis. actory financial
returns for the investment therein by
its reliable,genial and shrewd manager.
With fruits in season, confectionary,
canned goods, cigars &c., the Eclipse
is always well supplied. A find soda
water fountain is excellently managed
and well • tronize4 in summer season.
Oyster are largely handled and
cater: i in the best .fashion. l.n fact
Mr. err tries hard to make his
blishment worthy of its siginifi-
ut appellation.
TWi 1ITY RESTAURANT.
The onward march of Wingham in
Material prosperity and a rapid swell-
ing .of its population were sufficient
inducement to lead to the establish-
ment of the "City Restaurant " by
tstr. Robert hill, who has been a
resident of Wingham for nearly a
dozen years, He is widely and favor,
ably known throughout the country in
connection with the Soda Waterworks,
Which he successfully carried on at
Wingham for b number of years. I3e
ha a really choice location in the best
busin.ss portion of the town,in Green's
block. His shop is the perfection of
elegance and a more prettily arranged
assortment of choice fruits,confection-
ary, canned goods, &c., can seldom be
tonna anywhere. His parlors approach
very closely the palatial in tidiness
sad s.mfort. Leisurely lovers of the
xrto useous bivalves(oysters)can here,
a ici pleasing surroundings, enjoy the
et quality done up in a style to quit
e most fastidious epipttre.

HARRY IIISCOOKS' CITY GRO-
CERY,
For eight years in the eulploy of
Mr, Robt. Orr, Mr. H. Hisoocks four
years ago opened out the City Grocery.
A hustling, courteous and genial busi-
ness man, accurate and prompt, Mr.
Hiscocks bus built up a good town and
country trade. You can well risk to
call on him for ail seasonable goods,
and at right prices. The greatest
variety and best selection in groceries
and glassware is his well carried out
aim. The C. P. R. Telegraph office
is located here and receives most un-
remitting attention. Chests and boxes
of everything from everywhere that
you would xpect to find in a most
complete ,rocery, are neatly p-icked
away at iscoeks'. Fancy Christmas
article in profusion, too.
0. N. Griifiin also conducts a
general grocery business.
.Four and heed,
A. H. CARR.
The City Flour and Feed Store was
opened out by Mr. Arthur H. Carr
some months ago, it being previously
carried on by Messrs. Hutton & Carr.
Very heavy shipments of the fine flour
manufactured at the Ethel roller mills
have recently been put in. The bran,
shorts and coarser feeds are from the
Wingham mills of Messrs. Hutton &
Carr. Mr. Carr now supplies some of
the Winghain bakers with flour, and
expect( to do so with others at an
early date. "Art." has a thorough
knowledge of the flouring business,
being a practical miller, and as he is
active, pushing and popular, he has an
excellent chance to succeed. He has
a most reliable and prompt deliverer
in the person of avey Campbell. His
store is the fir building north of the
market sq re. This is the oldest
flour and eed premises in the town.
P. DEANS.
For the past five years Mr. Peter
Deans has catered honorably, success-
fully and satisfactorily to the public
requirements in the flour and feed
business. A son of Mr. P. Deans, of
lot 22, con. 9, Turnberry, he has been
for over thirty years a resident of
Wingham or its proximity. Before
going into his present line he was for
three years engaged in the egg business,
selling out to D.D. Wilson, of Seaforth.
Of good natural ability and business
tact, outspoken and reliable, Pete has
the confidence of his customers and
acquaintances generally. He is a
licensed auctioneer for Huron and
Bruce counties, doing a pretty exten-
sive business in this line. Motaphori•
°ally speaking, he wields the hammer
gracefully and effectively in the inter
ests of his employers. He has always
on hand a full supply of the choicest
makes of flour, meals, grain and seeds
and is reliable and pr.mpt in his
dealings with customer:. In fact, the
Stone Block would a sadly deficient

W. T. YATES.
Mr. W. T. Yates cattle here two
years; ago from Goderich and opened
out "The China House," Entering
and following his avocation for some
time in Goderioh he then spent some
years in the great western metropolis,
Chicago, where he imbibed ARIerrcatr
methods to some extent. I3e has
always the choicest and freakiest hi
groceries, and turns them over in
lively style. His special line is fanny
glassware. Mr, Yates' special lines
'are glass and china goods. Besides

J. A. CLINE & CO.
About six years ago, Mr. J. A.Cline
began business here and four years
ago took into partnership Mr. John
Neelands. The character, busi-
ness reputation, (lose attention of
the men, combined ' ivith splendid
financing and unlimited capital, might
be regarded as the secret of the steady
success attending this firm. The
premises were greatly extended this
year by the addition of one of the
largest and most complete wareroorns
possessed by any hardware firm in the
west. The improvements cost about
$1,000. The establishment as a hard-
ware emporium is replete in every de-
partment and conducted with the system
and precision of clock work. Some
estimate of the extent of tete business
done may be inferred from the fact
that there was received in merchandise
singe 1st of' October 151,848 lbs., or
about 76 tons, on which charges for
freight were $449.52, This does not
ifnclude coal, of which a large quantity,
both for manufacturing and domestic
purposes, were received. Mr. Cline is
a member of the town council who
renders invaluable service in that
respect. He was for several years
chief of the fire brigade and is a
shrewd, farseeing, honorable Ivan, and
popular with all clas es. Mr.Neelands
