PARTNERSHIP FORMED
The firm name of H. Fitzsimons &
San has for many year been con-
nected with quality meats. The busi-
ness Rob-
ert
.the
establishedb
Hess wasby
da of
the earlier s
ort Fitzsimons in y
Clinton and has remained in the gam-
ily ever since. Next week the business
will be under the firm name of Fitz-
simons & Batkin, as a partnership
agreement has been completed this
week between Ross Fitzsimons and
Mervyn Batkin.
Robert Fitzsimons, the founder, had
a stands in the old town hall which
was burned down some fifty years
ago. The town hall at that time
)housed most of the town's butchers.
Later Mr. Fitzsimons carried on in
the Sloan block his shop being locat-
ed 'where F. Fingland's office is now.
At another period the business was
carried on where Williams Bakery is
now situated. Thirty years ago a
move wasmade to the present stand.
The founder carried on until he was.
83 years of age with the assistance'
pf his son, Harry, who has been ae
tive in the business for forty years.;
Ross has been connected with the firm;
for ten years and when his father
was compelled by illness to retire, as-
sumed full management.
Mervyn Batkin, the new member of
.the firm, isa son of Mr. John Batkin,
Goderich township. For some time 'he
has worked for Connell & Tyndall.
With the experience these young men.
have there is every reason to believe
the partnership will prove mutually
beneficial. The change goes into ef-
fect on Monday morning.

top teams will enter the play-offs,

Swamp Fire at Auburn
Firefighters, were'out on Sunday in
Harry Sturdy's bush, east of Auburn,
enchanting to quell a' smoldering fire
which is thought to have: started from
a cigarette butt or lighted match.
Part of the bush on this farm is on
low lying land and it was there the
fire was at its worst. The damp leaves
and fallen twigs were dried out by
the fire and threatened to get out of
hand. No damage resulted.
