There was also a full symphony orchestra of a Bell Ringer Choir, A Women's Sale of Matthews Lumber to Conklin Lumber (Discount Dave's) has been tentatively approved, effective at the end of March, 1977. David Conklin, president of Conklin Lumber Co., with head- quarters in London and Hy Muroff, president of Matthews Lumber with headquarters in Windsor , made the joint an- nouncement that an agreement has been reached between the two companies by which Conklin Lumber will buy the Matthews business and inventory and will lease the buildings from the present owners. Mr. Conklin said inventory at Matthews will run to about $1.5 million. No sale price was an- nounced.

President, of the Women's Institute, Mary Kenney the Mathews operation would increase Conklin's size by about 30 per cent, and would make the organization the largest private company in this field in Canada. When the sale is completed, Ben Mathhews, founder of Matthews Lumber, Hy Muroff and Syd Matthews, will be leaving the business. However the nearly 80 people on staff at Matthews are expected to con- tinue working under the new administration. Mr. Conklin said that George Rittenhouse, who has been manager at Matthews Lumber for the past 30 months, will continue to serve in that capacity. For 22 years prior to joining Matthews he was with Conklin Lumber. In Essex County, the Matthews name will continue to be used in advertising along with the name of Discount Dave's Home Cen- tres. When the Matthews purchase is completed, Conklin Lumber will have 16 outlets extending from the Bruce Peninsula to Windsor with a total staff of about 280. Sales at Conklin Lumber have increased from $6 million in 1970 to an expected $30 million in 1977, a figure which includes the Matthews purchase. In the past year, Conklin sales have in- creased by 25 per cent. Mr. Conklin said with the Matthews purchase the company will have an inventory of about $3 million in its Essex County outlets at Kingsville, Harrow, Amherstburg, Emeryville, La Salle acid Windsor. In addition to these outlets, Conklin has sales operations at Kitchener, Owen Sound, Southampton, Goderich, Kin- cardine, Grand Bend, Exeter, Thedford, West Lorne and Ridgetown. In 1973 the company changed its image as it moved into a new marketing and merchandising pattern and established the Discount Dave's Home Centres name for its outlets. The following year the company moved -its headquarters to welcomed all the guests. Mrs. Norm Eveland led everyone in a sing song. A musical number was played by Penny Smith on the piano and her father, Harvey, who played the guitar.

London from Kingsville to be in a more central management location, Matthews has some operations which manufacture doors and these will be taken over as well and the products may be used to supply all the Conklin stores. The Conklin Lumber Co. had its beginning in 1883in the Kingsville area where David Conklin's great grandfather started a saWmill. He was joined by his son, William Conklin in 1895 and in 1903 they opened their first retail outlet in Kingsville. Throughout the succeeding years the business expanded and by 1920 the firm had lumber yards located at Cottam, Woodslee and Amherstburg. Later they had retail outlets at Harrow, Belle River and La Salle. William David Conklin, father of the current president, ran the company until the end of 1970 when David Conklin, took over the reins of management and his father became chairman of the board. A very conservative company through its 93 years of operation, the firm adopted a different stance to its advertising and marketing program in 1973 when it adopted the name of Discount Dave's Home Centres, a tag which is used for all the outlets. As well as the lumber and household shop products business, Conklin Lumber has been involved in considerable real estate development. David's father, William, has been functioning as a consultant to Zambia, along with Dr. Bill Phillips of the University of Windsor. Fete couple at Shipka By MRS.
