Iu this issue of the NEW En.A. the aim
has been to present in brief form a descrip-
tion of some of our leading -business had-
tutions. While neither time nor our
limited space would perrait anything like
a full rneistion of all the business firmeegfe
IngtowiteeweetellefefflArWeTrcitlien of
Clinton can justly point with pride to the
growirg and expanding interests of this
long list of enterprising 'business firms as
an 0 vidence of the general prosperity and -
thrift of the town, That Clinton is and
has been enjoying
A STATUS OF IitIsiNESS
-that wi 11-com peree-most -favorably,- with -
any town in Western Ontario, is a feet'
that has been repeatedly established. -.-
There are many reasons why Clinton has
so prospered in the past, and is:sure to in
crease in prosperity in the future. The
area of country tributary to the town and
from Which a permanent trade comes, is
larger in extent than can be claimed laY
any rival town. This is secured through
tWe" Wilinittal-agencies, viz: centre], loca-
tion and superior railroad facilities. The
country surrounding lea rich agricultural
district, and is settled by a progressive and
welt•to.do class of people. In speaking of
the location of the town it cannot help
being admitted, as we have oiten ,demen-
strated; that. in the early sgovernment �f
the county, re mistake was nude in the
location of the county tOtin. By evert'
consideration that can be brought to bear
enethe subject, Clinton. is the place where
the government. of the county should be
carriedon. That this mistake should be
rectified at the :earliest possible moment,
the interest and convenience of the county
demand. •
The town has an air of neatness and
general appearance that creates a !aver-
se
eble impression' to especially the visitor.
The residences are very tasty, a large part
of them being constructed of brick, In
the business portion of the town there are
Many, blocks which iival those dale cities
They are substantial, . commodious, and
very, iropoeing aPpearange. „
• The inatiufactuiing interests. of the town
are quite extensive; and prothise to largely
increase in the future. Among our mann-
faduring industries maybe raentitmed the.
following well known firms and business
men:—W. Doherty & Co., of organ fame;
Meisrs. Ferran, Macpherson & Hovey;
threshing Machine manufacturers; P. W.
Hayward, F'Rumball and J car-
riage makers; McMurchie & Co., fanning

Clinton possesses a good market for
grain and faern produce—we believe the
best: in . the comity: Messrs Irwin arid
Fair are extensive grain dealers,' both
