An Open Letter From Cann's Mill Ltd. Fifteen years ago our family made a big decision whenit decided to purchase the flour and seed business of the late Harvey Bros. Tlie deciding point vas the fact that the then village of Exeter was situated in the heart of the best agricultural area in Ontario and seemed a logical place to begin a feed•business. We have watched Exeter grow from a village of / 1,700 population to a town of 2,750 people. We have seen two new schools built, a new hospital and other new industries and businesses started as opportunities arose. Needless to say, we are proud of Exeter, but we are just as proud of the good farmers of this area who because of their toil and good farming practices, we believe, have made Exeter the thriving town it is. Natur- ally our firm "grew along with it. We have striven to keep up with the changing times and as occasions arose we have attempted to put into use new ideas, practices and equipment that would always give our farmers better service. The construction of our modern elevator has been built fgor this purpose. We have much faith in our farmer friends and believe that they can and will enjoy much prosperity in future years. We wish to express our thanks to them for giving us opportunities to serve them and it is our hope that we many continue to do so in the future. A. U. CANN G. A. CANN C. A.
