What a wonder — a clear view of
the field. Time to celebrate good
news and clear weather.
For a lot of folks, the amount of
the spill and the view of white
swirling things was getting on
the nerves. So enjoy the clear blue
sky.
With lots of time to spare, stories
of winter trips in the snow and
storms were shared and heard,
stories of the past and of this month
with each ending in a pause that
reflects the reality. We really do live
in the land of the snow and are at the
discretion and direction of the
weather.
With lots of things cancelled or
rescheduled I used some time to
clear a drawer, and in my case one
drawer at a time is more than
enough. Sometimes it's like going to
the museum and that can take a lot
of time to wonder and ponder. Well
this drawer was a glory hole. Old
newspapers — Brussels Posts of the
1910, 1929 and 1930 vintage as well
as several from the 1970s.
Formaldehyde was on special in
October of 1910 at 40 cents for a
one-pound bottle and the Standard
Bank was advertising the Brussels
Branch with J.F. Rowland as the
manager. The dissolution of
Leatherdale and Son Furniture and
Undertakers and Company was
noted in that paper and that the
business had been sold to Walker
and Black, who incidentally were
still advertising in the January 1930
edition.
The neat thing about the January
1930 paper was the half page ad that
was promoting the businesses of
Brussels and encouraging folk to
shop at home. The large ad told that
Miss Hingston had hats for sale in
her shop. Mrs. Ballantyne had "fresh
fruit always on hand" and the Grand
Theatre had "the best moving
pictures".
The large ad showed the many
necessary businesses in the village
each displaying their niche. The two
barbers in town both mentioned that
they cut women's hair, but one also
sold tobacco while the other
one' sharpened your scissors and
knives.
W.F. Willis, W.F. Stretton, East
Huron Produce Emporium and
Backer Bros. Meat Market were also
encouraging folks to shop at home
and that was 1930.
Who said time changes any-
thing.
The February birthdays have
started — we see them as national
holidays to encourage social activity
in the snow and boost the florist
trade — so happy year to the senior
Joan Jacobs.
We missed Richard Golden this
year, he let us celebrate the end of
January in a very positive way, but
darn the snow kept him in
Melbourne this year and we know he
had a good time without us.
Enjoy your week.
Bye now, Betty G.W.
