We were astounded at the beauty of the lamps. No two lamps were alike. There were hanging lamps, bracket lamps, street lamps, parlour lamps. The glass- work in them was in credibly beautiful, and the colors were of all shades and hues. F'rank couldn't wait to start shooting pictures. He was hauling out lighting equipment and muttering to himself that he'd never seen anything quite like it. Suddenly, Catherine Thuro and Ken Kercheval appear- ed. Mrs. Thuro, and her hus- band Carl, put the collection together over a fifteen year period. They travelled thou- sands of miles, spent untold Large Clearing AUCTION SALE of dairy herd, full line of farm equipment, feed and misc.. items for - Wm. & Don Hutton of RR 3, Listowel Fri.
