•-'tore Store Here For
Over 70 Years.
WAS OLD LANDVIARI
Mr. E L. Box thie week has had a
gang of men busy .wrecking the large
game store .building, Just north of the
Canadian Bank of Commerce,' Which
Itas been a business landmark in Sea -
forth for 'possibly' three-quarters 'pf• a
century. .
• During the war it was. used as• a
salvage- depot, but. previous to that
loused Mr. Bodes furniture and un-
dertaking establishment. 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
• . (Be Bill Hast)
Away back in the twenties we stood
and watched the bowlers working
with rakes and shovers to level off the
grounds for -the present-day bowling
green- There was a couple of old
codgers standing beside tin with
thumbs stuck in the armlloles.of their
vests.and scrutinizing the .work with
an .airof superior judgment on the
n.rt of making a green. 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
