How.. many people remember
that the British Exchange Hotel,
a local landmark for more than
a century until its destruction by
fire last December, was built orig-
inally as l tannery?
Authority for this information
is Mrs. Edgar Watson, formerly
of Wilson, New York, but now
residing at 92 Britannia road east
in Goderich. Her grandfather, the
late Captain William Cox, once
owned the -historic hotel.
Mrs. Watson is the former
Fanny Bingham Cox. She and her
husband, who is a native of Tor-
onto, recently returned to Gode-
rich to settle down. They are
building a small cottage now on
the Westlake farm property.

ceived by paid workers in Canada
rose $15,000,000 to a record level
of $1,108,000,000 during August,
