ANTIQUES WERE
FAIR ATTRACTION

display of antiques that had been
set up by the Kairshea Womenls
Institute. /
The display: included clothing,
household arid farm, appliances
and utensils used, by the pioneers,
of this community, It gave,an .in
sight into the way of life gl those
hardy settlers, who hewed out
homes in this wilderness of forest
land ri century ^go, and of a sub
sequent generation that , knew
nothing of the modern conven
iences that we today enjoy.
The various items on display
were ticketed to tell of their
origin or owner, and by whom it
was ddnated’.
As. well as creating a most in
teresting fair feature, the display
IoQu^edLattention_on_a2prbject_by^
Women’s Institutes in the County

Bruce County, so that valuable
relics such, as these, and the pion
eer history that is associated so
intimately with them, may be
preserved for posterity.
