To the Farmers of the Vicinity of Wingham:
There has been so many different reports
circulating in, and around Wingham, regarding the
shed which I own on Victoria Street, that I thought
I should make a statement regarding the same. So
many people have said to me, “Why don’t you sell
it?”
Now in reply to this question I want to state
distinctly that since I purchased the-shed in 1935
that no Corporation, Company or Individual has
ever offered me any purchase price whatever for it.
I was told to-day that I was holding the shed
at $3000.00. This is absolutely untrue, I have $1,-
500 hard cash invested in these lands and building
and I am willing to sell at this price to any Corpor
ation, Company or Individual.
I would like also to say that since 1935 I have
kept this shed clean, paid the taxes on it and left it
open to the public with practically no cash returns
whatever.
