residents must have looked at
this three storey structure with
a little awe and some pride.
In those days, when prosperous
farmer's were building rambling
one and two storey stone
houses, the tail mill must have
looked like a skyscraper to
them.
Nowadays there is no grist

recreation purposes. For this
choice bit of Canadian heritage,
time seems to have stood still.
Aberfoyle is one of the pret-
tiest villages in central Ontario.
It is nestled in • part of the
- richest farming area in - the
province. The winding paved
road, now oriel No. 6 high-

houses erected many years ago,

The experience was a unique
one. About 25 antique dealers,
coin' collectors and those with
other merchandise to sell were
settled along the fence sur-
rounding the grounds or beside
the brook. Their wares, many
of them collector's' items, were
dilsplayed on long wooden tab-
les. In some instances, glori-
fied junk rested on wool blan-
kets on the ground with home-
made signs declaring them to
be 'bargains at any price from
25 cents to a dollar.
It was a chilly fall day.
Gray ominous clouds scudded
across the sky but -the weather
did not deter customers with a
nose for a bargain or long
sought 'antique, from lifting
items and exclaiming, "oh" and
"ah" both over price and qual-
ity of the thousands offered
for sale. There were buttons
at $1.50 and pressed glass mar-

of all bounds. 4. fur muff one

Lost Art of Bargaining
It wasn't until we had al-
most made the rounds and I
had remarked sorrowfully that
I missed the wrangling of the
European Flea Market merch-
ants, that we met up with -a
dealer Who whispered' in my
ear, 'offer me a price, &ante,.
for ,any, item you fancy and
I'll make a deal". This was
what I had hoped our flea mar-
ket would be like. Bargain-
ing and dickering is half the
fun for, dealer and customer
.alike. There wasn't anything
I really coveted in her array
of authentic antique glass and
china until I found a small
ultra modern and useless poly-
Chrome shelf marked $2.50.
Chipped and scarred it looked
so forlorn on the fringe of her
blanket of bargains I offered
her 'a dollar and expected to
settle for at least $1.75. With
alacrity she rolled it in a piece
of neWspaper .and as though
she were offering me the crown
jewels tucked it under my arm
and extended her hand for pay-
ment. It was a rather weak
ending to my hoped-for ex-
change of offer. Was it a bar-
gain? I wonder. But it Made
the day's outing complete.
