Harness Shop Burned
Residents were amused about five
o'elock on Friday morning when Andy
Edgar sent out the word that Archie
Irwin's Harness Shop was on fire.
Volunteer fire fighters did a splendid
job, but it was impossible to save the
building. Edgar's restaurant and the
old hotel building were in great dan-
ger for a time. Snow on the roofs
helped to save other buildings. Wing-
ham, Harriston and Listowel .fire en-
gines were called, 'iVinghaft arrived
first and soon had the fire under eon-
trot. Only a week agcy ant explosion oc-
tufted in the same building when all
the windows were broken and the wall
damaged. The cause of both explos-
ion and fire is unknown.
