'the answers was the broken
promise to the people of On-
tario,which had made neces-
sary - the Ontario sales tax.

Is Long -Time
Ford .,Deoler
A Seafortemative, and for
many years a leading business-
man in Mitchell, has been hon-
ored by the Ford Motor Com-
pany. He is Jack Edmunds, son
of the late Mr. and Mrs. W. G.
Edmunds, of Seaforth.
The Mitchell Advocate tells
the story in these words: "A
local businessman is justly,
proud of a new Longines wrist
watch he is wearing, for it
marks a significant event, not
only in his own life, but in the
business life of this town. The
engraving on its back tells the
story: 'Presented to J. W.
(Jack) Edmunds in appreciation
of 25 years' association 1935-
1960, Ford of Canada, K. E.
Scott, President'.
"And the name of J. Ed-
munds & Son live on as adtive-
ly today. A bronze plaque, in-
scribed with this firm's name,
hangs' in their office, Son Bob
has taken over active manage-
ment while his dad, after
few bouts with his heart takes
life more easily, and spends
more time at his hobbies of
photography, making necessary
parts whenever need may arise
at the shop, and refinishing old
Music boxes and the like in his
home workshop." ,
