The , new, imposing red brick structure which adorns Federal Park south of the Cana­ dian Bank of Commerce stands out in striking contrast to the building which for years has served as a post office for this village. Postmaster M. W. Pfaff land staff, comprising Misses Caroline Davis and Florence West, who have served the public so well in the old building, will va­ cate the old familiar spot, with its traditions, and associations, leaving behind them the status of a rural post office and will enter the new government office as government of­ ficials. It will take a little time to (giet accustomed to the new boxes and the new order of things. The present site for the new post office was purchased by the Borden Government in 1912. Two build­ ings on the property were demolish­ ed, and then came the Great War and building operations were never com­ menced. For years the spot was 'anything but a credit to the town and the Horticultural Society under­ took to beautify it which they did by levelling it and planting shrubs and flowers. In February of last year tbe Fed­ eral Government appropriated $21,- 000 for a new building and in Sep­ tember the contract for erection was let to Beaver Bros., of Crediton. In February of this year a further ap­ propriation of $10,000 was voted and new tenders called for the in­ terior furnishings which were award’ ed to the Canada Furniture Co., of Preston. The tinsmithing and plumbing work was. done by Tra- quair & Lindenfield and the paint­ ing by Mr. s. Ross. Mr. B.-IV. F, Beavers was the local inspector. The following interesting item written, by Mr. E. J. Wethey,. appear­ ed in the London Free Press: Postal services invariably follows in the wake of civilization and when James Willis and his brave wife in the winter .of 1832-3, the only white people for many miles, took up their land near the present site of Exetei’ the germ of postal service came too. Other settlers followed to hew their fortune out of the primeval forests and to trust precious seed, .to, the (Continued on page four.) " • , j MEN’S SUITS AT $10.00 Sizes 36 to 40 only.
