products; it ranks first in value of field crops and second in ,tile value of forest products.

One of the most attractive places
of Wetness in town, is that of the
gentleman named aibove. A's .a re-
presentative or exponent of the jew-

on our note book. 119r. Counter cape
to Seaforth twelve years ago from
Simcoe. 'He was a' prae Tical jeweler,
and at•once opened a small establish-
m'en't upon the opposite side of the
street from where he now is. At that
telty'day in .the history of Seaforth,
there was little demand for thea rea-
uries or elegancies of life, and espec-
ially for artie'les of 'pers'onal adorn-
ment, .bot ' as. the village glad ,and
the 'people acquired mare and rhiore;
means this line elf...trad'e.. expanded,
until resuating in the estalblisihment
that - now •graces our main business
thoroughfare: Three years ago last
March, Mr: Counter' took" possession
of the handsome block he had built
during the preceding mnonrtihhs.. It is
29x75 .feet --a doube store in fact—
and in equipping iit the utmost good
taste has been displayed. One side
of the salesroom is lined with hand-
some upright cases, devoted, to silver-
ware and, fancy goods. The copnters
covered .by silver cases, -occupy the
centre of '*the roosn, and are in the
form of an oblong square. There are
80 lineal feet o f. silver cases, the one
fronting the entrance being 'particu-
larly handsome. In these cases are
displayed the thousand things which
form part and .parcel of a jeweller's
stock. Nothing appears to be omit-
ted, and any taste should be easily
gratified" Then, too, there is a very
fine display of all manner of fancy
goods, mersehauin and other pipes,
and an aimlost endless' list of articles.
The 'display of solid silver and plat-
ed ware is very.,,,tee, and more than
one longing, lingering look ., is'caist
thereon
by passentisby and those who
visit the establishment. Mx. Counter
reports (business in. very fair condi-
tion, considering the ,universal com-
plaint of . dullness of times. His re-
pair department is well patronized,
and the general trade of the house
is, as we have said, in good shape. In
giving our people such an establish-
ment, its proprietor has earned a
hearty support, and it is pleasanb to
know that each support has been ac-
corded him.
