IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE
A few weeks ago a small advt,
appeared in the Times-Advocate ad
vertising! some ipups for sale. The
advertiser sold four pups and^could
have sold almost as many more. A
gentleman who was looking fol* a
ipup visited a farmer only; to learn
that the farmer had just destroyed
seven pups as there was lto demand
itar them. A small advertisement
no doubt would have found a home
fol’ some of those puppies.

Exeter’s new arena and gym
nasium now awaits only a few min-
, or touches before being ready for
opening. Early in November the
engineer’s staked out the site of
the new building and Saturday ev
ening the contractor, Mr. N. O.
Hipel, of Preston, turned over the
keys of the new building with only
a few minor details to be finished
by local carpenters. Exeter ntow
has a municipal building, that has
been admired by hundreds of visit
ors and one of which the citizens
might well feel proud. It is the
only one of its kind in the province
of Ontario and we are assured that
no municipality the size of Exeter
can boast of anything better. The

Free Press camara man and' an ac

There is a storage room at the east

large electric blower circulates the

toilets, wash basins and drinking
fountains. Above the rooms is a

The lighting system is ideal with
five rows of lights, containing 27
lights of 3 00 watts each, flooding
the ice surface, making it almost
