In to -day's issue of THE PosT we present our readers with a business men's edition of the paper containing a fairly accurate summary of the diversified interests of the place, It will be seen at a glance that the business men are alive and progressive, and that anything tending to promote the town's interest merits their co-operation and support. The town was originally called Ainleyville and was changed to Brussels in 1873. It is situated on the Maitland river and is thirty-two miles from Gode- rich, the County Town. It is a picturesque place and it is certainly one of the busiest matte of commerce in this Northern country. It is surrounded by one of the finest agricultural districts in Ontario, and the farmers are thrifty and well-to-do. The market here is one of the best outside of the larger towns, es- pecially for grain, stock, apples, baled hay, eggs, etc. Monthly Horse Fairs are held at which there is always a good exhibit of horses and many sales effect- ed. These Fairs have certainly done much to advertise the excellence of the horses coming to this market. The Fall Fair here, which is very largely attended, is a top notcher, and it has done much to advertise Brussels, They have one of the best ball -mile tracks in the country and the races gotten up here are second to none. There is a splendid school here with Prtocipal Cameron in charge, assisted by five efficient teachers„ and in the record for work Brussels school is not out - classed by any. As an evidence of this many Brussels boys and girls are to -day filling many positions of trust and responsibility both in this ,country and tbe oeigbboring Republic. There are four churches --Presbyterian, Methodist, English and the Roman Catholic—all presided over by clever and earnest men, except the Presbyterian pulpit, which at present has no pastor but is expected to be filled shortly—all adininistering to the spiritual wants of the various congregations. As a site for manufacturers to locate there is no more desirable location. There is good water power here wbich renders manufacturing cheap, land is cheap and living is cheap. Those in quest of a good location would do well to write the Town Clerk as a more desirable spot could not be found. What man- ufactures the town possesses are of a substantial character, such as the Salt Works, and in this connection it might be said Brussels dairy and table salt is the finest made in the world. Our other mt115 have also been equally success- ful in business. The town is prepared to deal liberally with those desiring a suitable location for any manufacturing industry that will assist Brussels, It is a matter of surprise to many outsiders who visit the town during the busy seasons to find wbat a hive of industry it is. Its splendid school, fine public library, religious institutions and the integrity of the business men and their sound floaneial standing and enviable record Efor fairness, go a long way to make Brussels one of the best markets and business centres in this part of the country. that"Ti is with the best wishes for the future growth and success of tbe town HE POST presents to its readers this Trade Edition. T. W. KERNEY. Every well regulated town should have a restaurant where a light lunch can be bad any time ot the day. j W.

Brewer is acknowledged to be the leading pbotograpber in this part of the country, whose years of exper- ience has placed him In the front as a finished artist. Mr. Brewer makes a specialty of high-class photos, as well as outside work, single groups and small work. and his work invariably gives the best of satisfaction. In high- class photographic art he has bad many compliments paid him for the efficiency and perntauency of his work. Another feature of his work is that it has never shown any sign of fading.

He is adding to his business a full line of mouldings and picture frames, Frames made to order at any time. Ile is one of the town's best known citizens. BRUSSELS SALT WORKS is another leading industry here that we must not overlook, doing a very extensive trade, shipping on an aver- age a car load of salt per week. The Brussels Salt Works make a specialty of supplying extra fine table and dairy salt, It is so fine that there -is n6 need of chemical purification. Experts Who have examined it say that it is without a doubt the finest salt manufactured, in Canada, and the demand for it is oon- tiuually increasing. Gordon Mooney is the manager of the works here add he says that their trade is so well es- tablished that they often find it very difficult to keep up with their orders. All sensible people use Brussels dairy and table salt, At their works they etnploy quite a force of bands to whom good wages are paid. Their shipments are made to all parts of the Dominion. Mr, Mooney is nue of Brussels' most esteemed and progressive citi zeta,. wants. In the sample room you get the best of imported and domestic cigars, wet goods, etc., and as to the stabling there is no finer stable any where in Canada. It is of cement with cement floors and is two storeys high, Its dimensions are gpxtoo feet and can accommodate ez5 horses ; a reliable hostler always in charge. Mr. Quern & Son make ideal landlords, Mr. Quer- in, or,, having bad a life long exper- ience at the business, and Harry is also very popular.

METROPOLITAN BANK Among the ebief chartered banks of the Province we must not neglect to mention the Metropolitan Bank, which is fast attaining the rank of one of the leading financial institutions of Canada, The Metropolitan Bank is making a splendid record for itself. It only goes to show wbat can be accomplished by wise and prudent management. The Metropolitan Bank does a general banking business and is prepared to open accounts with farmers and busi- ness men on the most advantageous terms. Farmers sale notes collected or advances made on the same. Drafts issued to all parts of the world. Sums of $r and upwards are received in the Savings Bank department and current rates of interest allowed from the date of deposite on daily balance which is a decided advantage to the depositor. Mr, W. J. Fawcett is manager of the Brussels branch and comes here highly recommended, having been as- sociated with the bank as manager at Brigden for a number of years. He has always taken an active interest in everything pertaining to the best in- terests of the community in which he lived and THE PosT heartily welcomes him to Brussels, NATIONAL ROLLER MILLS, This is one of the leading industries of the town, W. F. Stewart is a prac- tical miller of many years' experience.

Mr. Stewart is well and favorably known 'as a man of good business ability and courteous to all. BRUSSELS WOOLLEN MILLS AND GLOVE FACTORY. Brussels has iu the Woollen Mill and Glove Factory a good paying business and it is to be regretted that the town does not possess morel manufactories of this kind. J. T. Wood took charge of these mills about two years ago, and stein that time he bas materially in- creased the trade which is both local and wholesale. Everything in the line of woollen goods manufactured, such as blankets, tweeds, yarns, hosiery and globe makers' supplies.

QUEEN'S HOTEL. This old•established and well known hotel is one of the best known com- mercial hotels in this Province. It has been the aim of Jos.

This company is being promoted and is seeking incorporation for the purpose of developing and operating 'Boo acres, in the townships of Elam, Grey and Logan, over wbich they bold leases from the various owners, upon the most favorable terms, all of wbich leases are free from any leis or encum- brance. This company is incorporat- ed wader thelawsbf the Province of Ontario, the capital stock consisting of too,000 shares of $I each, per value fully paid, non assessable, and envoly- bog no personal responsibility what- ever. Some 15,000 of tbe treasury stock is offered for sale at $I per share, the proceeds ofewhich, after the pay- ment of the costs of incorporation, and incidental organization expenses, will be used solely for the purpose of development. The greater portion of the lands held by the company, and upon which. it is their intention to conduct their development work, lies near the village of Mookton, county of Perth, about 18 miles from the city 11 Stratfor3, and near the C, P. R. branch line from Guelph to Godericb. Crude petroleum was discovered here some years ago but nothing in the shape of attempting to develop these lands was attempted until the Summer of mos when George Edwards, of tbis totvu, who is an artesian, well driller of considerable experience, while drilling for water on the 16th concession of tbe township of Elan, discovered traces of petroleum at a depth of some 6o feet. The petroleum was of such pronounced quality as to render the water totally unfit for domestic use. samples of this water were immediately forwarded for analysis, and upon the report of the expert vetro the company employed, who IS a practical oil eau of many years experience. it was decid- ed to take steps at once to inaugarate a company and secure incorporation, 1 Believing that they bave a rich find in this oil held the following company of officers and directors were appointed : —President, D. C. Ross ; Vice -Pres., Woo, L. Holmes; Secretary, Wm, M. Sinclair ; Tres., H. L. Jacket -0 ; Directors, Geo, Edwards, Jno. Fergu- son, A. C. Macfarlane ; bankers, The Standard Bank of Canada ;.Solicitor, Win. M. Sinclair.
