Windsor, Nov 30, 1914 Editor Herald Dear .Bir_— It occurred to me that possibly your readers would like to hear from this part of Ontario and of this city in particular, so will attempt a few rambling remarks concerning Windsor and immediate vicinity. As you all know the cities of our country are at present not enjoying the pros- perous times they did a year or so ago largely the result of the war scare but it is said that Windsor is not feeling the pinch as keenly as some other cit- ies, It is true that there is practical- ly no movement in real estate but building operations are fairly brisk all things considered. The adjoining "eity" of Ojibway is booming and property on Broadway is now selling at a hundred dollars a foot frontage. I might say however that most of the buyers are Americans who have follow. ed the rapid rise of such cities as Gary and other steel centres, while local investors are mostly holding up their handsin amazement at the prices now freely paid for city property which is still wholly on paper. The promoters of the new steel city have alarge gang of men'and from forty to fifty teams employed daily on what is known as main street. This street is 31 miles long, 100 feet wide, with sidewalks of about 30 feet in width and two car line tracks. The grading is now well under way and the con- tract, including paving, etc., is to be completed by Nov 1st at a cost of $175,000.00, Probably this story will remind your readers of a parallel case in Huron County but which is now an old story, while this is a new one, with every indication that there is something real behind it. On the E ast side the town of Ford is in the snaking with every prospect of a rapid advance. The Ford Motor Co. is busy with a large addition to their already large factory, and other evid- ence of growth are not lacking. Walkerville, whose products were well known to some of your readers in pre - Scott -act days, is making headway rapidly in other manufactures and whiskey will soon have to take second place in importance, There are sever- al very large industries in this pros- perous town. The old town of Sand- wich, is getting its second sight, and is trying to keep up with the proces- sion. A large alkali plant will be erected here shortly at cost of a million dollars. Quite a number of wealthy Windsor business men have fine residences in Sandwich and there are many evidences of recent growth. A weekly war scare or two come across the river but I do not think we need fear anything from Detroiters. For one thing they 'are too busy with their factories, supplying former "nide in Germany" goods and anoth- er thing there are so many Canadians in that city that any hostile move against Canada is out of -the question. It may interest you to know that Windsor has sent nearly nine hundr- ed volunteers to the front and recruit- ing is still going, ahead. I believe this is a record -for a city of this size, and, citizens are proud of the patriotic spirit of their, young men. There are quite a number of Huron County people here among those I met recent- ly being, "Mr. Hawkins,of Exeter, Mr. Win White of Usborne, Miss Colvin of Brussels, a former milliner .at Praetors store, and others. expect to be in Zurich some time in December and, will be pleased to sae all old friends, And now Mr Editor I. trust I have not encroached too much on your valuable space, and Right Now is the time to begin thinking of Christmas. From now to Xmas we will give special low Bar- gains on Pianos, Organs, Edison Phonographs, Singer Sewing Machines, Bell Art Pianos with the illimitable quick repeating action and sustaining frame.
