Pictures of the Eisenbach Museum at
Grand hardly do justice to the place. This
one, however, shows the most recently con-
strueed addition. There are now four build-
ings, including the former Presbyterjan
Church manse. The one pictured here is
pointed in bright red (you can't miss it),
with the name in white.—(Dinnin Photo).
For an Interesting Outing
Visit the Eisenbach Museum
Grand Bend — Looking for
something different to do?
Something different to see?
Why not pay a call at the Eisen-
bach Museum in Grand Bend?
You'll feel right at home at
once. There are many pieces of
furniture and pictures, lamps,
musical instruments, etc., which
came from Zurich, and you may
meet your own grandfather or
great-aunt peering down from
the wall of the former Presby-
terian Church manse.
Where is the museum? Well,
it's on the right as you enter
the village from the north on
Highway 21, and right across
from the B.A. service station.
You can,go in through the old
manse, and Mr. Eisenbach will
give you a personally conducted
tour from there. At this time
of year he has some free time.
However, in the summer,
when the most visitors come, he
will have to hire extra help to
look after all who come to see
and stay to see more, In 1963
there were about 4,000 people
saw the museum. This year he
expects maybe twice that many.
What's to be seen? Well,
there's a section made up like
an old country store for one
thing. And the little track that
carries change from the counter
to the cashier, is the one taken
out of the former Bonthron &
Drysdale store in Hensall, when
it was renovated. There's bolts
of cloth, spools of thread —
everything as it was then.
There are ancient clocks of

many designs. There are kit-
chen utensils, sinks, grinders,
apple pealers, and all that sort
of thing.
There are old buggies, and
sleighs, walking plows, rollers,
harrows, hackers •and hoes.
There are "stalls" with com-
plete operations, such as an old-
time barber shop; an old -tine
blacksmith shop; a shoemaker's
shoe, etc.
There are dishes—priceless
things under glass, which were
used by Mr. Eisenbach's own
family, years ago. The are
beautiful pieces of china, loaned
or contributed by many people
— Pete can tell you where each
piece came from and a pretty
good idea of how old it is.
There's the old "pregnant
Buick" which he bought just
this spring which is of the vint-
age of Al Capone of Chicago's
bad days. And it runs beauti-
fuly. Pete takes it down main
street every day for the mail
and the paint is just as good as
the day it was made.
There'll be a threshing ma-
chine too, soon, although we're
not sure that it has been set
up yet.
With over 8,000 pieces of Ca-
nadiana arranged in comfortable
fashion for easy viewing, the
museum is perhaps the best one
of its kind in Ontario. For that
matter, there probably is no
other just "of its kind".
Tours should really be ar-
ranged in advance, in fact even
for a small group it would be
well to phone ahead and let the
folks know you're coming. But
from May 1 to October 31, open
hours are from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
every day.
An added feature is Ye Olde
Country Store, operated by Mr.
and Mrs. Ross Love, which will
be open soon, and will keep the
same hours.

Peter Eisenbach rests for a second from the task of
preparing his musetun for public view, and the busiest
tourist season yet at Grand Bend. The room is upstairs
in the former Presbyterian Church manse, where a number
of glass eases hold specimens of stuffed birds in excellent
condition, and beautifully arranged. The strange piece of
furniture in the foreground is a seat used by spectators at
cockfights in British Columbia. The chair is fashioned from
a tree limb. One straddled the seat, rest one's arms on
the top of the trimmed limb, and when placing bets, a pencil
and paper were available from the small cupboard carved
into the arm of the tree, with hinged lid to keep everything
tidy. This seat was contributed to the museum by William
A. Sturdevant of Grand Bend. it had been his father's.

"Got the order, got a bank loan -- we're all set"
When a businessman wins an order or contract, he
knows he can turn to his local bank for financial
assistance. A loan may be needed for one or more
reasons --to lay in a supply of raw materials, to buy
new equipment, to meet a payroll, or to cover other
costs until the firm receives payment for its products
or services.
With bank credit, companies large and sxnall earl
take on projects they couldn't handle if they had
depend on their own financial resources. More-
over, the chartered banks have steadily widened
the scope of their commercial lending to serve new
or expanded short-term. needs. Every day, local
bank managers are lending to producers, manufac-
turers, farmers, retailers and others, to help them
develop opportunities, meet competition, keep men
and machines busy.
Commercial loans are one of many essential services
your local bank provides, to the benefit of everyone
in the community.
