Clinton News-Record, 1975-06-05, Page 21. -- 'he first and perhaps old Huron County Trade Martheld in the Clanton Arena. last Wednesday, May P,roved .a disappointing venture at- txcting only 50 pereent'of the County's manufacturers. Bill Hawke, Industrial: Development -Consultant For the ministry of industry and tourism said the Trade Mart •was ``neither a gigantic success nor a gigantic failure," but he personally felt there would not be another one. "It was an experiment - the ,first in Ontario and we weren't sure it would work," he saki. "The Trade Mart was organized to be a com- munication forum, like a convention, where man fac- aturers in Huron County could _meet informally to find out what their neighbour's make." • Mr. Hawke said that many manufacturers were bringing raw material in from outside of the region when they could get it from within the County if only they knew who to deal with. Commenting on the feeling expressed by some of the 20 exhibitors in attendance that the Trade Mart was a failure, N�r Hawke said, "The trouble tisday is that something isn't considered successful if you don't make a buck fromit. The Trade Mart was setup for the exchange of ideas not to make sales or contracts. Fred Looker of Hearn Wholesale Ltd., Clinton, said the Trade Mart failed to attract more manufacturers because it "t" was a novel idea. "It is the first Trade Mart and people don't know that _ much about it," he said,ad ad- ding, that following Marts would probably draw more exhibitors. potential. "The idea has good p Some people here didn't know we even existed until they came `to the Trade Mart," he said.

"It's company policy to deal with manufacturers in the County first before going outside of the area," he said, !so, we're, already ,practising what the Tirade Mart is preaching." p Fleck Manufacturing of _.- Centralia .has been in the region just over a year, and representative Don Appleby said, the Trade Mart was ,a good idea, "Soy tie industries didn't even know we are in the municipality." He didn't know Barn dance held Something like the spirit of 1875 was alive and well north of here on May 24 when a Clinton area couple hosted a barn dance, with proceeds going to the Van Egmond Foundation. Barb and Bob Batty, who live on the base line between • Clinton and Auburn built a brand new barn this spring, "and when they had the new floor in and before they put stalls in they decided to have a barn dance," according to Dorothy Williams, a member of the Van Egmond group. "It was fun; a real old fashioned evening," said Mrs. Williams. The Holland Orchestra played for dancing on a wagon set up just outside the big,barn doors, and people could • dance "inside or out", she said. A bar was set up on the other end of the wagon and another wagon was filled up with food at the kitchen and pulled out to the barn by some male volunteers. s the • barn- dance and Van Egmond Foundation treasurer David Ring said about $150 was raised, which will help restore the Van Egmond House in Egrondville.
