Known to those who have grown up in Seaforth as the "furniture factory," it was built by Broadfoot & Box, furniture manufacturers, and later owned by the Canada Furniture firm who made wooden office furniture, until wood was superseded by steel, During World War II, flax was processed in the factory by Hesky 5'lax Company. Special machinery was imported from the Old Coun- try and there were hopes that a thriving linen industry might develop. The above' picture shows the old L-shaped factory, built around the Market Square; when the town hall . was located at the corner of Market and Jarvis street. After the old town hall was burned In- the early 1890's, the square was closed' and the factory enlarged to the street line, to its present size and shape. At the right of the picture is the original fl'anie factory of Broad - foot and Box, It was later moved across the street where it remain- ed for,many years. Only time will tell if a new use will be found for the once busy industrial building, or if it will be wrecked to make way for • new houses.

Carl Hemingway The Huron County Federation' of Agriculture held their second annual : worship service and pic- nic at the United Church summer school camp at Goderich. Mr. Winston Shaptton, eounty president, introduced Envoy Newman .and the Salvation Army 'band. The Army Band opened the service with Prelude music and provided accompaniment for the singing of the hymns under the leadership of the Huron - county junior farmers choir. Rev. Dr. Nimtno, Moderator of -the Presbyterian Cliuroh, tools as his text Jeremiah 4th chapter, 3rcl verse, "Thus sayeth Jehovah to the men of Judah and Jerusa- lem, "Break up the fallow ground and sole not among thorns." Dr, Nimmo pointed out that farmer's know only too well the need for thorough cultivation of the soil and the rooting out of weeds and .thorns in .the produc- tion, of crops; In the same manner for' the growth of the Kingdom it is nec- essary to break into new Lands and re -open areas that have gone to waste if we are to spread the teaching of ,Tesus throagliout the world. It is useless for us to try to sow the seed if we have failed to uproot the thorns of selfishness TI3E $JU,d.FORTJI NEWS—Thursday, July 16, 1969 1 1111,�IIIIu111111111111111A1111.4111 i. l,�i,l„11111_... 11�„1111U�1111 I IIU 1,111)lllll (1111,,,111„1 11 .....11ll ll9 'it TENDE`' FOR HEATING Sealed tenders for the supply of fuel oil for the Huron County Court House, Goderich, and the Huron County Registry Office, Goderich, will be received by the undersigned until Monday, July 20, 1959, at 5.00 P.M.

Then we must sow the seed by living and practising the Word of ,God. We need to beware of preconceived ,opinions. The Hol- land "marsh was thought to be worthless, and much closer to home, the area of the Klondike Gardens to the south in oar coun- tY, was waste swamp land .a short time 'ago, Just so there may be untold treasures to be found among our neighbors, perhaps close by or in some 'foreign land. Having prepared the soil and sown the seed, the most import- ant of 821 is the harvest. The task is difficult and at times may seem hopeless, but the harvest— she souls -of men—has value above all others. At the close of the service a collection was received and after minor expenses was divided bet- ween the Summer School and the Salvation Army: Lunch was serv- ed by the ladies of the Tiger Dunlop Institute in the recrea- tion hall.
