The butter came to the store
in large crocks. It was repack-

by a sister of the Beatty Bro-

I am sure that when, in
1861, the Aberfoyle Mill was
erected beside the brook that
winds through the town, its
residents must have looked at
this three storey structure with
a little awe and some pride.
In those days, when prosperous
farmers were building rambling
one and two storey stone
houses, the tall mill must have
looked like a skyscraper to
them.
Nowadays there is no griSt
for the mill to grind The brook
still gurgles between its banks
• through a park now used for
recreation purposes, For this
choice bit Of Canadian heritage,
time Seems to have stood still.
Aiberfoyle is one of the pret-
tiest villages in central Ontario..
It is nestled 'in part of the
richest farining area' in the
provance. The winding paved
road, now called No. 6 high-
way, passes between those stone
houses erected many years ago.
They, still in perfect condition,
are surrounded by lofty trees
and lovely gardens, Cattle,
sleek and Tat, graze in pastures
and crops nod to one another
across old split cedar rail fen-
ces. One expects all the tall
scents of ripening apples and
cooling chili sauce to mingle
with wood smoke from farm-
hoUse chimneys. Nearby are
groups of very new homes
which have established a sense
of suburban community living.
To me this evidence of prog-
ress seemed a little foreign to
the nature of the village on the
day we attended Abeiloyle's
now famous Flea Market.
The two mill buildings serv,
ed the community, I suspect,
in More ways than merely
grinding wheat into flour. We
walked the pathway that led
to the bridge over the mill-
race where we were greeted
by the smell of French fries
and hot coffee. No country
fair, auction, or flea market

would be complete without
these familiar odors.
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
displayed 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 clay,
Gray ominous cloud8 scudded
across the sky but the weather
did not deter customers with a
nose for a bargain or long
sought 'antique, from autiiig•
items and exclaiming, "oh" and
"rah" both over price and qual-
ity of the thousands offered
for sale. There were buttons
at $1.50 and pressed glass mar-
ked front $1 to a charge out
of all bounds. f1 fur muff one
merchant 'cuddled over his ro-
tund figure could be bought
for $2.50 (no fleas attached)
but no one seemed to have' the
courage to deprive him of this
comfort.
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, (teazle,
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 r . dealer and customer
alike. There wasn't anything
I really coveted in heir 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 dollar and expected to
settle for at least $1.75, With
alacrity she. rolled it in a piece
of newspaper and os though
She were offering me the crown
jewels tucked it under my ann.
and extended her band 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 ()Wing complete,
