TOWN OF WINGITANI
As a Business Centre and Manufacturing
Point,
THE HUSTLERS FOR TRADE AND PRINCIPAL BUSINESS MEN.
A Retrospective History — Its Past, and the Possibilities
of the Future.
Wneeirsees has a recognized and deserved standing amongst the foremost of
Ontario towns, as to commercial importanoe general progress and nrnenariI
well as to future prospeets. Pride of citizenship is a laudable characteriatio, and
that Trade Edition of the TIMES is intended to lead Wirighautites to a more
intelligent appreoiation of the importance of the town, as well as to enable outaidete
near and remote to form a comparatively correct estimate of its growth, its Industrial
enterprises, its splendid railway facilities, and its admirable location for factories
Situated as it Is in one of the best agricultural districts in Ontario, and having the
best classes of farnaers, its shipping business has been greatly increased from year
to year, until to -day it is second to none of its size in Ontario ae a business centre.
Wingbam is pleasantly situated at the confluence of the North and South
Branches of the Maitland River, m Turnberry Township. Splendid natural
advantages, utilized and developed by men of enterprise, supplemented by two
railways and other blessings of civilization, have combined to make Wingham what
it is to-day—one of the must solid, progressive and prosperous towns in Canada.
We have now here the finest educational institutions in the country, splendid
aerobes, magnificent public buildings, some of the fineat manufactories anywhere,
excellent hotels, good streets, miles of granolithic walk a aplend d public librar
Innumerable friendly tometies, a first-class band, two good newspapers, and a
community of business men of integrity and sound business principles, whose record
for fairness goes a long way toward making Wingham the splendid commercial
centre it 1818. With new streets opening up, and more lots added to the town, with
an increase of manufactories, it is destined at no distant date to become one of the
leading town et in the Province.
It is with best wishes for the future growth and progress of the town that the
TIMES presents to its readers this Trade Edition. A perusal of the notices of the
business places and inanufactoriee will amply repay one.
WESTERN FOUNDRY CO., Ltmesa.
One of the leading manufactories here
which has developed a splendid trade
throughout the entire Dominion, is the
Western Foundry Company, Liraited,
manufacturers of stoves, ranges and fur-
naces. This splendid business was start-
ed some four years ago, and they have
by turning out a superior class of stoves.
ranges and furnacee, that are modern in
design, moderate in price. and perfect in
operation, secured a large share of the
trade of this country. Employment is
given. to a littge number of hands to
whom the best wagesure paid. These
are all thorough mechanics and the best
results are invariably obtained. Every
dealer in Canada should get one of thier
catalogues and ascertain for themselves
the excellent quality of their stoves,
ranges and furances. This furnace is
acknowledged by those who have them
.in use, to be superior to any other make.
Their extreme lowness in height, extra
large triplex radiating sur'ace, large
square ash pit, large fine door opening,
large combustion chamber and long one
way fire travel, easily make the 'Red
Hot Htuon" the greatest furnace in the
market to -day. They also manufacture
hotel ranges as w 11 as heating stoves.
If you are thinking of inveating in a

es, ranges and stoves before your cute
tomes, send for particulars to he Wes-

brooke, Quebec, and 5 Hallam, western

branch is 501 Queen St West. This

tries and their business is steadily
growing each year, demonstr at
ing, notwithstanding the large number
and variety of stoves, furnaces and
ranges that are in the market each year,
nothing bat the best such as The West-
ern Foundry Co, Limited turn out will
win satisfy the public.
W. J. PRICE. D. D. S.
In our review of Wigham, mention
should be made of Dr W. 3. Price, Den-
tist. He has his office filled up with all
the most modern appliances used in den-
tistry. Dr Price makes a specialty of
crown and bridge work, gold and other
fillings, and where extraction is neces-
sary his knowledge of local and general
anaesthetics is successfully employed to
relieve pain. Dr Price has been very
successful and this coupled with courtesy
his practice steadily increseee. As a
citizen, Dr Price Is one of Wingham's

THE WINGHAtd GENERAL

AN IDEAL LOCATIONEC
SECURED — WILL
ER OPENED itY OCTOBER FIRST.
It is a healthy sign for any country
when its people realize the fact that lite
is something more to them than to play
the game of business; it is gratifying to
know that Canadians as a general rule
set up lofty standards, and that they are
admired and resptcted by other people,
whose ideas of what a nation owes to its
sick, and at/noted, ite blind, its deaf and
its unfortunate, are not what ours are
at all events if we are to judge by the
Mots. The character of 808 Canadian
people, and the moral fibre of the na-
tion, cannot be better illustrated than
by the prompt measures that have been
taken for the care of its Blind and
its Deaf and Menet) at Belleville and

teeny, not- only to the noble generos ty
of its petard°, but afford evidences of the
Canadian people being alive to the neeee-
sity of helping thole less fortunate than Pe
thoometves to a pito in the world where ,„
they stand Unbanditanped in the great lee
struggle for eacietence. That a hospital
IS
a necessity in any growing metre,
was never better ilinetrated than in the
0014 044, of Stratford, which is a great
railway centre. Of course there were
the usual quota of croakers who he,ci
their hammer out, but neyertheless the
Stratford General Hospital was built,
and today, as is the o se in nearly every
hospital in the country, .i. is filled with
patients and has been in that condition
almost from its Morton. Of course it
is needless to expatiate at ay length OLI
the general desirability of such patients
being eared for at a hospital. Of the

superiority of tbe nursing and pare gen-

what part of the country you go to,
whether the far North, among the ice
bergs and boulders of the Klondike or the
salubrious climate of British Columia, or
beside the sea at Halifax, it is the same
never-ending cry of progress and ptosper-
ity. There is hardly a malt town or
small city in the country, where there is
not a scarcity of dwelling houses, not
withstanding that houses are being halt
in all these places as fast as labor and
material can be obtained. What it will
be in ten years from not it is difficult to
conjecture, but there is one thing cer-
tain, "the heather is a -fire" everywhere
in Canada, and particularly in this
Provinee. Motet that were hamlets,
emboldened by the strides being made
in other places, have thrown off their
swaddling clothes, have taken on the
sirs and responsibilities of citizenship,
and have deleloped into villages, vilages
into towns and towns into cities; and
stilt the sun shines and prosperity is the
wat:thword. Wingham too, is having
its share of the general prosperity.
Great improvements have been made to
the town in the past few year • and new
homes added of which every one 18
