By the way — Quite a bit of
church news this week which
reminds me - our minister was
overheard saying to the garage
mechanic "your estimate run-
neth over."
Born in Chesley, Ontario, Brian
was raised in Waterloo County.
For the past two years he has
been on the staff of Craigwood,
Irene, his wife, also shares
Brian's appreciation of antiques
and has also taken a course at
Fanshawe on the subject as well
as a re-upholstering course, In
addition to marketing antiques,
the couple are also open to
restoring pieces on request and
repairing and re-upholstering
any items in need of fixing -up.
About eleven years ago Irene
made the move along with her
parents, Mr, & Mrs. Fred Nor-
demann, and the rest of the
family from London to Nairn
where the family still farms.
Along with a wide assortment
of antique items including a nice
selection of glassware, Brian and
Irene are purposely stocking a
number of moderate price items
suitable for unique shower or
wedding gifts. Most of the items
will have a British heritage as
their two main suppliers are from
Britain.
Neighboring merchants in the
same line of business usually find
themselves competing against
each other for business. However
in the antique trade the opposite
is frequently true and dealers
often welcome another dealer
into their midst in order to attract
more collectors to the district.
Consequently, Ailsa Craig's
established antique dealer G.
Goodfellow has given every
encouragement and help to the
Elliots,

people 'come in .and visit' as
noted in our ad".

children in underdeveloped areas
of the world. These contain such
items as tooth brushes, paste,
soap, washcloth, pencil and
doodle pad, nail clippers and
comb, A "Christmas Bundle"
had also been completed which
included a set of clothes for a boy
along with a toy, a towel and soap

mission area.

hangers, decorated soap, Kuck
