In Unity there is Strength
A community is as big as the faith of the residents make it.
This faith is evident in the unity which exists between merchant
and buyer. If dissension invades the community and! the people
go to nearby cities to purchase their goods the growth of .the town
is retarded and it is ultimately relegated to the “has-been” class.
When the merchant and the resident forget personal differences and
unite their purposes for common trade, it is a certain sign that that
community is listed among the “booming.”
Think in. terms of your local merchants, and decide to buy in
Exeter. Petty personal grievances are things of too little signifi
cance to let them interfere with the progress of the town which you
call home. If you trust your merchant he will prove himself loyal
to you. The decision is yours to make. Shall you buy outside
Exeter and see the town fall behind, or will you buy at home and
witness this community advance?
Your patronage- spells your confidence in your merchants who
are responsible for the leading position your town enjoys. If you
give them your support, merchant and resident will unite for the
good of this town, and the result will prove that the only true way
to success is by united effort. Your dollars which you pay to your
local grocer,, butcher, clothier or milkman, will stay in Exeter and
will ultimately come back to you.
This week we present to our readers the new firm of Traquair.
and Lindenfield who in March last bought out the hardware business
of Mr. W. J. Heaman. .Messrs. Albert Traquair and Ed. Lindenfield
came to Exeter from Hensail. The former has charge of the hard
ware department while the latter superintends the tinsmithing, de-.
partment. Since taking over the store they have made several im
portant changes. Tney have installed a number of display cases
which adcls to the attractiveness of the store and enables them a
wider display of merchandise. The tinsmithing department has
been moved from upstairs to the rear of the store making it much
more convenient.
Since coming to Exeter the new firm is well pleased with.the
patronage they have received. They are endeavouring to handle a
complete line of hardware and the store is well-stocked including
builders’ hardware, roofing, etc., hatvest needs, electric and coal
oil stoves and heaters, paints and oils. Service at reasonable
prices is their motto. • ’

To the Editor,
Exeter Times Advocate,
Exeter, Ontario.
Dear Sir:
I feel I cannot pass through your
beautiful Ontario without making a
few complimentary remarks about
the town of Exeter. During my stay'
here I have noted with interest its
beauties. The monument which is-
standing erected to the memory of
“The Fallen” in our Great War, is
much to be admired for its architec
ture and meaning.
Your,, business centre is cheerful,
and well situated, where the needs
of all may be supplied without go-,
ing away from home to purchase.
.1 especially noted the 'beautiful
gardens. To-day I was privileged
to inspect the garden of Mr. Wm.
Ward. The charming color scheme
was remarkable, red, yellow, white
and pink roses clustering together
like a bunch of happy children. I
admired this man or nature and felt
honored to meet him, and when I
return to my home in the West I will
carry with me happy memories of
Exeter, its beautiful surroundings
and courteous people.
Wishing you all every success
. ' Yours ‘faithfully
Ellen L. Hodgson.

weak he could not stand up. A neigh
