In feet dt has- been a furniture store for well ',ever 60 years. Further back than memory goes' it was occupied as a_furniture and un- dertaking establishment by the late X S. Porter, •of Egmondville, who carried on •business from the early days .o Seaforthe until near the close of. the last century,, Then. it was purchased by Broad - foot & Box, who carried on a similar business for many years. They were fol•Iowed by Mr. H. C. Box, who..con- ducted the business until failing health forced his retirement, and shortly before his death he sold out to his brother, Mr. E. L. Box, who later sold the undertaking department and equiMtment to the late Charles, Holmes, and moved the furniture ...stock to one of the stores in the Reid & .Wilson .block, further up Main St„ which he has owned for a number of years. When the wardrives fox salvage started it was Used as a salvage depot for Seaforth and district, but for the past year it has been vacant. It will leave a considerable gap on Main Street, and its familiar face will be missed by aII old-timers. • Bowling On The -Gr IQn • .

In their opin- ion it was . not a suitable location at all., The surface was. too low and couldn't' be. drained, with the result that the ground would sour. They didn't arrive at their -conclusions hast- ily, but weighed every word,as if tJ eir whole Life depended on it: In between times they would gaze heav- enward . in an effort to gain further knowledge on the- subject. At that time we had no interest in the bowl- ing club, but were curious to find out xi- ►`tot sultry Sixty Years Ago • • • •.
