FORTY YEARS AGO
The Upholstery Factory—One clay
recently a representative of the Ad-
vance had the pleasure of a" tour
through the extensive Upholstery fac-
tory of Walker and Clegg, which is
recognized as one of the most valued
of Wingham's industries, This enter-
prising firm began business in Wing-
ham about eight years ago in a tWo-
storey frame structure about sixty feet
long. - Soon the business outgrew this
building, and a brick factory, 3.2Q feet
long, 46 feet wide and- three storey$
high was erected. The following year
this proved too small and d fourth
storey was added, and this year another
addition, 56 it 53 and four storeys high
was erected, All the factory is steam
heated. In addition .to this, a fine
system of .drying-kilns has been com-
pleted, capable of containing fifty
thousan,d feet of lumber,. At present
there are in all, about seventy employ-
ees. The wage pay sheet shows from
$500 to $600 weekly, or about $30,000
a year. To have this much cash cir-
culated in ,town means much to Wing-
ham. The product of this factory is
chiefly upholstered goods, and these
are made in great variety of style.
Most of the timber used is American
oak, and casts from $60 'to $70 per
thousand feet, The coverings embrace
choice plush of English and German
manufacture; and beautiful figured
silks from the looms of French fac-
tories. Leather-covered styles are also
very popular, Wingham is very for-
tunate to have this progressive factory
located in our town and we wish them
continued success,

ie Maxwell, of Wingham, spent Sat-
urday with Miss Jean B. Ross of Glen-
forraw, Mr. and Mrs. Robe. Ashton,

Business Brisk—Rev. Wm. Lowe, o
London, formerly Rector of St. Paul's,
Wingham, writes the Advance as fol-
lows;-"Perhaps some of my Wingham
friends will be glad to hear that I have
been doing a rushing business of late in
the matrimoniarline. I have united
six couples since September at five
dollars per couple. Among them ray
old friend Wm. Dawson, of Cuirass. I
would like to tie up some of the many
old bachelors, if not all, in Wingahm.
