Mr, George 'Wraith, Victoria, St.;
handed us the copy of an old' adver,.'
tisemezit: which appeared in The Ad-
vance, many years ago, and - will be of.
interest to. many of the `older residents
of 'Winharn, limy of whom kindly re-
rember, T hornas Abraham, the shoe
atal.er,. who had his shop just vaest of
where Bradley's bakery now is on
Victoria: St.

of Mr. Abraham at the top accompan-
ied'

in the ;rogue's gallery, Two ,fac
'people fill many prominent position
`Then 'the. lengthy advertisement goes'
on .ee follows:
Queen Victoria's Memorial
On Victoria St., Wingharn, named
in memory, of our late good Queen,
you may still find Abraham, the father
of the faithful. 1 -le is still engaged in
then righteous axed honorable business
of saving:. and renewing soles: A man
with. a rotten sole and a: crooked heel
cannot .walk. upright, so don't go
'round wobbling, but go straight to
Abraham's and have your boots re-
paired fora trifle. , Get your under-
standing

stan iing,:s'traigltteried so that you can
Walk without stumlbling • Abraham
has always made' both end's meet by
using a sharp -pointed AWT. and stick -
in to his'' -LAS T. That is how he has
outlasted all rivals for 37 years, bid-
ding defiance to sheriff,' bailiff. and as -
sluice.. He has- remained ie. business
without a halt, ;:while all his former
competitors have failed"or closed their
shops. No clearer .proof is"required
to direct you to where "that scarce
commodity, justice," is measured out
with a golden rule. A wooden' boot
sign'hangs on a post at the` door, the
only landmark remaining` in 'town•�of
former' clays•' Call at Abraham's and
find out prices, as. no"charge is asked,
or advice: Quite different to lawyers
ho charge a fee for telling you. how
nuch five cents .worth of pins would
cost. Doctors differ,: on humeri ills;
ome of them will feel your•pulse
and treat you kindly, while others_ will
eel for your purse and treat you
)1indiy„But ` •
Abraham, the Shoe Doctor
will cure your boots and also consider
our family needs. Boots repaired at
braham's for less than the cost of

tops west of Broadway's, No.'i, Hot-
. Any person getting tired going:
orn the corner of Abraham's will be
cited, parliaanentary, mileage for the
xtra distance; ("A penny saved is
ppcnce earned,"-Eranklin,) So call
Abraham's and get your boots re-
mired so cheap - that, you can ` save

THE WINGIrAIVM ADVANCE
NOW EOR A PIANO
In... the Secretary's report of the
iilorticulturat Society meeting we not-
ice that it was due to ' an article writ-
ten in The Advance, `"Why Can't
Wingham Have a Horticpltural Soc-
iety?" that ,several of the citizens who
had the 'welfare of the town at hear
got together and organized the Hort-
icultural Society, Now the editor of
this,paper would like to start the hall
rolling for another „ benefit, viz., a
piano for the Opera HOuse.
It is a sure bet that' the 'town. coun-
cil will clean :up the dirty old opera
house this year, Chief Allen` tells us
eel lie thinks the walls have never been
kalsonrined since the hall was ,erected;
The hammered old tin shielding the
footlights must be replaced and the
hall must be re -wired,- These are al'l'
necessary and we feel sure will be'.
fixed up early this year, •
The council do not feel that they
can spend any more money than what
will necessarily, be used on this.,clean
Up, but there is still the fact that the
town hall has' no piano. Anyone who
has.rented the hall .fora concert knows'
the trouble and annoyance. there al-
ways is in getting a .suitable ” piano,
Now, for a suggestion! Is there some
philanthropist" who will take pity on
our poverty and donate a new 'piano
-to the Wingiiam Hall? If not is
there not one of the local ladies orga-
nizations who will start a campaign
for funds to purchase a. piano.
Let the people of the town get to-
gether and boost for a renovated op-
era house and 'a new piano to be left
permanently in it. Surely there will
be those who knock; but let us . all
turn, a deaf ear to their murmurings
arid boost, boost, boost.'
