Introducing to oar Readers and General Public the 13cautiful, Industrial, Progressive Lind
Enterprising Town of Wingham. Its Rare Facilities for The I3nterprising Capitalist
The Progressive Manufacturer, The Ambitious and Thrifty Artisan, The Indus-
trious Labourer or The Retired Farmer A Clean, Healthy and Beautiful
Town to Live in and 13ring up a Family Plenty of Real Employment
for Both Male or Female. An Hour's Interesting and
Valuable Reading.
(Written by James W. 13eattie)
The beautiful, enterprising. industrial
and heartily town 6f Wingham re; shown
on the map is located right close in on the
junction of the north and south branches
o.f the great Maitland River, and right
the heart one of the best agricultural
districts in the province of Ontario, 28
miles east of Kincardine, 30 miles east of
Goderich, 7t1 miles north of London, 125
n files west of Toronto, and 11)0 miles
nerthwest of Hamilton.
It is within the memory of many old -
ti triers who leaped blaze the trails, when
0 le spat where Wingham new beds sway
rend for many, many miles aroun't it, was
all a vast forest. But the brain, brawn
tend sinew of our f webears em despoiled
nil that, and with the same indomitable
energy stills had a bmutiful, prosp vous
ind progressive town under way, and
sere reaping rich harvests from a vast
area of the fertile and productive soil that
surrounds it.
The thrift and industry of these sturdy
old yeomen is inimicable and it is no
boast when we say that the newer gener-
ation have and are closely following in
the footsteps of their gond old forebears.
The well cultivated farms with their
splendid barns and outbuildings for the
storing of the. produets, ani hmain t• of
their large herds the modern and com-
fortable dwellings with their well kept
lawns and gardens, are alt indications of
this fact.
From Wingham runs the rural telephone
system in all directions and but few are
the farmers who have not a telephone in-
stalled. Every day except Sundays the
farmers for many miles around have their
mail delivered from Wingham, right at
their door.
Fine modern school houses and churches
are within easy reach of all.
Wingham affords the best facilities pos-
sible for the sale of their enormous prod -1
ucts, with her large packing houses where !
hundreds of tons of products are bought, !
the excellence of the transportation for
• flues adorned with large handsome resid-
ences, t he beautiful and well kept lawns I
with their profusion of flower beds and
lovely borders making a glowing picture !

did paved sidewalks, all of wl :rh contri b-
ute to the making of a be,.atiful and
progressive town like Incluatrua Wingharn.
With the advent of the railroads, the
Grand Trunk from the east, west and
the east
south, and the C. P. R. from
ttt
be gained here, negotiated with these
three large concerns and bought them out
and are carrying on a very large and
prosperous industry to -day.
Messrs. Walker anu tategg erected large
buildings for the manufacture and uphol-
stering of the finer class of furniture, and
gave employment to over one hundred
hands Their business has so rapidly in-
creased that they found it necessary to
still further enlarge their plant and added
thereto a large four story building, and

and west, Wingham took' on a new phase
of life. Enterprising manufacturers soon
spotted the many advantages to be
gained here. with the best of transport-
ation to be had and many other necess-
aries to fill their needs. They came,
ventured and succeeded
Mr. Thomas Bell was among these en-
terprising gentlemen. Ile erected large
furniture factories, and soon had upwards
of one hundred men in his employ, and
Town Hall
the live stock, etc., along with the merc-
antile side, all make an ideal whole for
the best interests of the farmer.
These farmers, on the other hand, are a
very intelligent and conservative class in
their ideas, in the fact that they are truly
loyal to their own home town, Wingham,
and practically get all their needs supplied
here. This, of course is the principal •
item in Wingham's success It gives the
merchant every opportqnity to keep their
large stores well stocked with all the
newest ideas in women's and men's wear-
ing apparel, as well as all other necessary
equipment for the modern househelder of !
these days, and our merchants and bust- !
ness men see to it that they have always
in stock just what is wanted. This is a
drawing card that must not be overlooked
as it is the main spring CI it places hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars in their
milers annually.
The merchants and business men of
Wingham area loyal bunch and fraternize
to an unlimited extent for the welfare
and best interests of the town, which
owes these saw gentlemoa the lion'
share of praise for its stun ling
toglay.

The Western Foundry had started
business manufacturing in a small way
until about fifteen years ago. Mr J. J.
Cunningham came up from Toronto and
was so well impressed with the many
facilities to be had here that he at onca
purchased this concern and commenced
the manufacture of stoves, with about a
dozen men in his employ. A year later,
Mr Wililam Varey of Toronto entered
into partnership' with him and soon after
so popular became their stoves and fur-
naces, that they found it impossible to
fill orders without greatly increased room
and more help.
With the energy they have always dis
played, buildings were soon erected and
properly equipped for the accomodation
of 150 workmen and the hum of this hive
went so merrily along that stoves and
furnaces by the car load were soon being
shipped from these works. Still there
was no abatement to the call for stoves
and still more stoves and if they meant to
keep pace with the constant increasing
flow of orders, still more room and more
man help must be employed About 20
acres more ground was purchased and a
splendid moulding shop 500 feet x 80
feet, a mounting shop 280 x 60 feet (both
of brick), a shipping room 600 x 80 feet,
(of currogated iron) were soon erected,
and all. the newest ideas in equipment
installed. With this addition the firm
now has capacity for upward of 300 work-
men and t h e finest stove foundry
plant to be found i n the province.
Their shipping facilities are replete. The
G. T. R passes right through be-
tween the two large foundries and switches
run right into their yards for the loading
and unloading. And the hum of the hive
grows mare in intensity. The output
last year of stoves and furnaces, was up-
wards of 18.000
It may be in order to say right here
that this firm has been so commercially
busy that they have been unable to take
any contracts for war munitions, and
further, owing to the war, it is most diffi-
cult to get sufficient mechanics to run
but half of this concern. Men can al-
ways find work here and at highest

Death of James N• Grieve
There passed away last week in Spok-
ane, Washington, James N. Grieve, ex -
M. P. for North Perth, and for some
years immigration inspector at Spokane.
He was in his 62nd year, and had been
ill for upwards of two years. Born in
Mornington, he resided there for the
early part of his life. He was a farmer,
but found time to devote some of his
ability to the welfare of the community,
and from 1888 t01891 was deputy reeve.
In 1891 he successfully contested North
Perth in the Liberal interests. In 1898,
following the return of the Laurier Gov-
ernment, he was appointed to the immig-
ration service and for some time had been
located at Spokane. Deceased gentleman
was a cousin of Mrs. Alex and Mrs. John
Campbell of this town and visited here
two years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Alex Camp-
bell, Mrs. John Campbell, Mr. Peter
Campbell and Mr. W. H. Rintoul attend-
ed the funeral at Millbank on Sunday of

Registered After Being Fined
Peter Robertson, a farmer living in
Blandford township, was fined $50 and
costs in Woodstock police court for not
registering on June 22. "I tell you, you
fellows are trying to introduce anti -free-
dom into this country. I am not going
to be a slave like they are in England I
won't register," Robertson exclaimed
when asked why he and his wife did not
register. He persistently refused to regis-
ter, and the magistrate committed him to
jail. Afterwards he was brought to court
and finally consented after consulting his
wife. Homer Bright, who also lives in
Blandford was another who did not regis-
ter. He said that his father told him if
he was fined for not registering he would
pay the fine. The young man who is of
military age, will likely be sent to London
camp, while his father wilt be asked to
appear in court on the charge of influenc-
ing his son not to register.
