MR. GEO E MASON
Dealer in Books Stationery, Etc.
Mr. George Mateo i is a son of the late
John Mason, forme ly hotel keeper, and
was born in the c ty of London, May
6th, 1855, the year n which London was
incorporated as a ty. The subject of
this sketch first e gaged in commercial
life in the fano goods business ate
traveller in Lend n for Jas, Atkinson &
Co. In 1878, the lot on the corner of
John and Jose ine streets was pur-
chased and in 1 79 the present Mason
block was erect° and Mr. Mason start-
ed in the book stationary, wall paper
and fanny goods 14nsiness. The business
had its small beginnings, but year by
year it has gro.vn. First the single
store was sufficient, then an annex was
built at the rea •. This addition an-
swered for a whi , but last fall it was
found necessary o take in the second
fiat of the bloc to accommodate the
growing business. It will thus be seen
th at with the addi ion at the rear, the
entire floor spade o tha block is devoted
to Mr, Mason's bn iness. For a town
the size of Wingh m, and in fact for
towns much larg than Wingham,
nothing in the shape, of a book, station-
ery, wall paper and anoy. goodsstore can
equal this one. Th large stock carried
makes it easy for people to make a
selection, and man * a dollar is spent
here that would o herwise go to the
cities. Wingham eople are proud of
this magnificent stn e.
Mr. Mason has ben a man who has
not taken much int• rest in political or
municipal affairs, Les business interests
taking up his time. He, however, spent
one year, (1887) in ;he Town Council.
For seven years Mr. Mason took an
active interest in tl a work of the Sal-
. vation Army, an through his efforts
the present Army arracks was erected.
Of late years he ha been a member of
the Methodist chn h, and takes a live
interest in religion work.
To serve the p blie in business for
twenty-eight years "u the same stand is
a good reo.ird an the friends of Mr.
. Mason will join w' h the Tierns in the
wish that for man more years he may
be one of our pr minent and respected
business men.
