CDeat Mary Jane: You know I like to shop and you know I spend o great deal of time looking for the best of everything for my home. And 111 look all over the country to find the table that's perfect for the front entrance or the nicest bedroom suite for Janey's room. But you don't know that I've just made the best shopping find in years. It's a gorgeous home furnishings store, tucked away in Dublin, just blocks off Number 8 Highway, in the Dublin Business Area. Bill and 1 wandered into it by accident on one of our country drives last month. And it's only about a half hour from Goderich or Stratford. The store's call G.G. Goettler of Dublin and it has by far the most tasteful collection of really fine furniture I've seen in some time (and Mary Jane, you know 1 like to shop and I've seen enough to know the best.) There ore Andrew Malcolm and Kauffman furnishings, patio furniture that'll make you want to stretch out in the sun by the pool and a beautiful selection of just about everything in fine furniture and accessories. - adapit,bff therooettlers stress good volue.'Why; their regular mattress prices fore_exam v pie were already lower than the super sale price in Eaton's advertisement in the paper. One of the reasons Goettler prices are so low is they don't have to poy city rents or taxes, etc.,Besides it's a family owned and operated business which helps keep overhead low. Mrs. Goettler believes in planning a room so you're not stuck with an expensive picture or chair thot's completely out of place. (Remember that puce coloured sofa I bought, Mary Jane?) 1f you'd like, she'll come into your home and help you with your furniture choices. By the way 1 noticed beautiful wall accessories half the price of some London and Toronto stores, which is the only place I've seen them. Considering all this, and the price of gasoline, why anyone would want to travel to Lon- don, Kitchener or Toronto for home furnishings 1 don't know. And 1 certainly won't be any more. Christian Church service on earlier Did you forget? The Vanastra Christian Church had its worship service at 10 a.nr. This will continue throughout • the summer months.
