Selling Tractors
It is with regret that we
learn of the disposal of the
old antique tractors, parts,
etc by Robert Brindley this
coming Saturday, Sep-

For a good number of
years, Bob has shown his old
Massey Four Wheel Drive,
'an Allis Chalmers, a Massey
and an old Ingersol fire
engine complete with hoses,
sirens, etc. at the parades
and steam and tractor shows
throughout the province.
We knew Bob's health had
not been the best for the last
couple of years but were sure
surprised that he bad
decided to auction
everything. His old tractors
have been viewed by many
on Sunday drives and are
sure going to be missed. We
realize that it takes a good
deal of hard
work to keep

Old tailor shop to be moved
One of the oldest buildings
on Goderich Street, Auburn,
will be moved this week to
the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Mansueto Renon on
Highway 25 to make a barn.
It is the former tailor shop
owned and operated for
many years by the late
James Medd and through the
years has been very active in
the business of the village.
After the house beside it
became vacant, after being
the Methodist parsonage for
many years, Mr. John
Nicholson bought it and mov-
ed his barn from the "proper-
ty occupied by Mr. and Mrs.
Al Luna and family now up
the street to its present loca-
tion where he used it for a
harness shop. In the early
1900s Mr. Medd bought out
Mr. Nicholson and started a
Gent's Furnishing store.
Auburn's first ice cream
parlor was opened in the
front part of the store about
65 years ago. Mr. Medd
made the homemade . ice
cream in a hand freezer us-
ing ice from the ice house
behind Beadle's Butcher
Shop and Barn. (It had been
harvested from the Maitland
River during the winter
months and stored in
sawdust to keep during the
hot months of summer.)
Mr. Medd employed two of.
his nieces, Mrs. Toni (Ellen
Phillips) Johnston and her
cousin the late Mrs. Tom
(Mary Ellen Medd) McNall
as waitresses. They served
the specialty - maple walnut
sundaes for 10 cents a serv-
ing..
ereing.. Mrs. Johnston says that
they used maple syrup and
that Mrs. Medd had the
walnuts ground up fine for
the top: The girls were paid
25 cents per day.\
Mr. Medd did a big
business in the tailoring field
making suits for men and
had several ladies serving
apprenticeship 'with hirci.
One of these ladies who
worked here about 1908 is
Mrs. Elva Straughan, the
former Elva Stoneham.
In talking to Mrs.
Straughan she tells that they
worked from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
for $2.50 a week. Monday
morning was usually a holi-
day. Miss. Straughan recalls
several ladies working too
and one of them was the late
Mrs. George (Agnes Ladd)
Lawlor.
As the trend to ready-
made suits became more
popular, Mr. Medd changed
to made -to -measure suits
sent for but he still sold
tobacco, cigarettes and can!
dy. His pressing irons . were
not needed so many of the
older gentlemen gathered
around the old stove in the
back shooting the breeze
each trying to outdo the
other.
This era passed when in
1960 the buildings were sold
to Andrew Kirkconnell and
then this past sununer all
was again sold to the Auburn
Missionary Church. '
Mr. Renon has been get-
ting
etting the building ready to
move and finds the lumber
and two by fours in excellent
shape. He stated that'it had
been restructured three or
four times down through the
years as shown by several
different kinds of, carpentry
work.
What does cominunhl
development mean?
Last year, it meant building a new wharf
ffor Point au Gaul, Newfoundland.
Renovating an education centre
in High Level, Alberta.
And. hnproving'a salniou fishery
