Mr. Dairy Farmer!
YOUR BEST MILK MARKET IS THE
HARRISTON PLANT
For many years we have led the field in milk prices for all
milk powder 'plants in Ontario. In addition, we have paid LOO
to 20c per 100 lbs. higher than other nearby milk powder planta
and have equalled, and sometimes bettered the milk prices or
evaporated' milk plants.
Our lowest price last year was $2.65 and we hope •
to be able to pay at least $3.00 this summer.
We have been able to pal" top prices for milk because of our
Ice Cream business which has"heen increasing each year in line
with increased consumption,
We have installed, additional equipment this year
to handle more milk. Your skimmilk is worth
More this year than ever -- approximately 90c
per 100 lbs. - so increase your farm income with
'less labour by shipping milk instead of cream..
Call Canada Packers-Wingham 142 and
'we Will arrange to have our truck pick up your
milk.

'Homestead Occupied
By Dal)id Eadie
-In the year 1855, a young man
from Black Hill, near Stirling,
Scotland came to Canada with his
parents and settled near Brant-
ford, In Scotland they always •
had to rent their land from a lord.
Hearing that they could get land
of their own in Canada, very
cheaply, they came out here to
escape the tyranny 'of the overlord,
In , 1858 the family moved to
Turnherry and settled on the banks
of the, Maitland River, on what is
now David Eaclie's farm. Here
Paddy "Wells had a cabin which he
rented to Eadies until they could
build their own cabin.
Eadie's stone house was built in
1873, high on the hill overlooking
the river. Mr. Eadie was a steel
engraver and monogrammed his
wife's silver spoons, each in a
different style.
Thomas Eadie and his wife,
Agnes Mitchell had eight children,
Colin, Isabelle, David, Beatrice,
Catherine, Agnes, Janet and Mar-
garet.
Isabelle married David Wallace.
They had four children Agnes,
Andrew, Thomas and ' William.
Agnes is unmarried. Andrew mar-
ried Gladys Spindler and has two
children. Worries (deceased) mar-
ried Margaret Muir and they had
three children, Marian, Donald and
Florence. William married Louise
Farmer and lives near Swansea,
,South Carolina.
Colin married Amanda Switzer
and they had five children, Isabel,
Thomas, William, David and Mary.
David married Helen Mulvey
and they live on the old homestead
with their five children, Mae, Neil,
Donald, Charlie and Marjorie. .
