Christmas", Brigitte said.
Although the Hartais' two sons
arc pursuing careers outside the re-
tail field, the Hartais have no inten-
tion of retiring for the foreseeable
future.
"We have never looked

We have a loyal clientele, and we
serve them well", Gary concluded.

Two babies were welcomed into
the family of Exeter United. Tris,
ten Michelle, daughter of Terrence
and Bonnie Caldwell, and Anthony
Seibrand, son of Douwe and Jenny
Wilts, became the youngest mem-
bers of our church family. Con-
gratulations to both children on this
special event in their lives!
Our church has been, the recipient
of several gifts and memorial trib-
utes in the past months. Oak doors
for the back of the sanctuary were
designed by Exeter Furniture to
match the oak at the front of the
church. The inserted stained glass
windows were designed by Ada Din-
ncy, to pick up the theme of the
long exterior winds*' , a d were
constructed by Edward' lass of
London. Caffrey Cann presented
the doors and windows which were
dedicated to the Glory of God by the
following families: Harvey and
Dorothy Pfaff and their children
Steven, Greg, and Janet; the Down
Family - members past, present,
and future: Jerry and Alice McLean
and family; Walter and Margaret
McBride and family; and Elmore
and Ida McBride and family.
Alma Godbolt presented new en-
trance lights in honour of Reginald
Knight, Jean Pooley, Verda Squire,
and Margaret Wein.
Renovations to the nursery have
recently been completed due to the
generosity of the Nursery's friend,
Miss Anne Brodie. The "Anne Bro-
die Nursery" was presented by Kar-
en Snow, former Nursery Coordina-
tor, and dedicated to the Glory of
God and to honour future genera-
tions.
Warm thanks are extended from
the congregation to all of these gen-
erous donors.
Mother's Day and Christian Fam-
ily Sunday were also celebrated dur-
ing the service. Special musical
tributes were given by The Young
Singers, The Youth of Note, and
the Senior Choir.
Sunday, May 14 marked the Day
of Pentecost, or the descent of the
Holy Spirit. The colour for Pente-
cost, the birthday of the Church, is
red and the symbols are fire, the
dove, the blood of the martyrs, and
the number seven for the sevenfold
gifts of the spirit.
To date, $18,611.78 has been
raised for the elevating device pro-
ject. This is approximately half of

Commuters - Gary and Brigitte Hartai drive to their Exeter store
from Listowel every day.
Exeter impresses
fashion store owners
EXETER - Gary and Brigitte
Hartai are celebrating an anniver-
sary this month. Their store, Bri-
gitte's Fashions, opened on Main
St. in mid-May of 1984.
The venture was backed by years
of experience. Gary has been in re-
tail all his life, rising to vice-
A.—president of a national chain before
branching out as proprietor of a
clothing and shot store in Listow-
el, where the couple have lived for
the past 12 years. Brigitte received
her training through her native Ger-
many's excellent apprentice sys-
tem.
The Hartais ran the Listowel
store for seven years. They began
looking for another location five
years ago, after deciding not to re-
new their lease because the build-
ing was in bad shape, ,and they
couldn't find another suitable site
in the town.
When asked why Exeter was cho-
sen, Gary said the town has a good
reputation throughout the retail
clothing trade grapevine. The Har-
tais came looking, liked what they
saw, and decided to locate here.
"We knew Exeter was in a good
farming community, with a strong
downtown core. That 3,800 popu-
lation sign can fool you - a lot
more shop here. You'd be sur-
• prised. It's close to.the city, but
certain people prefer the small-
town atmosphere' Gary explained.
The Hartais opened a ladies wear
store in Hanover in the spring of
1985. Gary visits that store regu-
larly, but "a very capable manager
we were lucky enough to find"
looks after the day to day opera-
tion.
The Exeter store was expanded in
the fall of '85. Incorporating the
former ice cream parlour next dodr
almost doubled the capacity to the
present 2,400 square feet.
The Hartais arc still living in
Listowel. They hope to eventually
move to Exeter, as commuting
from home tobusiness adds two
hours of driving to each working
day. Neither enjoys winter driving,
but there have been only 10 days in
the last five years that they couldn't
make the trip to Exeter.
Brigitte is at the Exeter store eve-
ry day. Husband Gary spends two
days "running around", as he does
most of the buying.
The Hartais have been first-hand
observers of changes in the cloth -
mg business. At one time, retailers
did business through wholesalers
and jobbers. Now they can attend
five annual shows where they deal
directly with the -manufacturers.
Agents also come around to the
stores with samples.
"We don't buy in quantity, we
buy a variety. In Exeter, each
clothing retailer has a niche. We
don't sell the same things. Cus-
tomers don't want to sec the same
outfit all over town", Gary 're-
marked .
Gary has already done his fall
buying. Muted shades of purple
and jadc will predominate. Both co-
lours and styles are softly feminine
