Which?
It seems a waste of words to argue
that a business education is necessary
for the success in life of young men and
women. No reasonable person doubts
it. It is a fixed fact.
The only question—the vital question
—is this :
" 'Which college ?"
Shall it be a school where common
sense. practical methods arc followed
Shall it be the best college or next beat?
It costs nothing to get our now cata-
logue. Simply ask us to send it to your
addresa. It tells about the most prac-
tical Business College in Ontario. We
believe it to be the very best. a

WINGIIAM, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1907,
NEW POST OFFICE AND 0ET8TuMES OFFICE, WINDHAM.
First occupied on January 23rd, 1007.
This magnificent new public building, the need of which has been felt
for some time, was erected by the Dominion Government at a cost of about
$30,800. The lot was pnrohased from Mr Thos. Gregory, for $5,000, and tho
coat of the building is in round figures $s5,800. The building is two storys
high, with an attio; size 38 x 50. The customs department, occupies a space
19 x 28 feet. and comprises two rooms, an examining room and an office.
riere, Mr. H Davis has commodious quarters, and every tacility for the
transaction of the business of his office. The second story, which has been
fitted up for occupancy by Postmaster Fisher and his family, has every
convenience and will make an ideal residence.
The work of excavating for the foundation was begun in October, 1904,
and although there has been a good deal of apparently unnecessary delay
from time to time, it must be said that the building in every part is highly
creditable to those who had to do with its construction. The contractor was
Mr. S. S. Cooper, of Chattel, who sub•let different lines of the work to others.
The plumbing, iron and'copper work was done by Young & MoBurney ; the
cement floor in basement by W Fryfogle; the painting by R H. McKay,
and the slating by John Whittaker, of London. The heating system was put
in by Wm, Stevely & Son, London. The London Paving Co. did the cement
work, the work being done under the supervision of their local representa-
tive, Mr. F. Paterson ; the interior fittings were supplied by W. Kyle,
Ottawa; the brae fittings by the Rubenetein firm, Montreal, and the eleo-
trio lighting was installed by W. H. Green The stone for the building was
supplied by the S. Mary's Horseshoe Quarries, and the brick by the Beams-
ville Pressed Brick Co. and Elliott & Sons, of Wingham. The position of
inspector of the work of construotion was filled by Mr. Wm. Nicholson, who
looked well after every detail, and saw that everything was done according
to the plans and specifications.
The interior walls are finished in wood fibre plaster, the floors and
wainscoating in natural wood. Altogether the building presents a handsome
appearance, and the arrangement affords ample and convenient accommoda-
tion for the handling of the mails, By a new arrangement, the office is now
open to box holders from 7 a, ra, to 9; p. m, , and when the evening mail from
London is on time it will be promptly distributed. Th's convenience will be
Much appreciated by the oitizens.
The Postmaster and his family expect shortly to move, and their
numerous friends will join in wishing them many years of enjoyment ot
their new and commodious home.
