While we make no bones about condemning the system inaugurâ€" ated by some of the brain trusts in Kitchener for parking trucks on the main streets, it seems now that members of the counâ€" cil there are also not too sure that they have not pulled a prize honer. Don‘t know what the rest of you folks think about the whole thing, but it seems to us that it is a great deal better for the kids to concentrate their energy in the begging of candies and other shell outs, than it is in a lot of mischief. When we were kids we used to whaste aâ€"great deal of time and energy in pulling up wooden steps, and boosting chairs, outâ€" hoyses and farm equipment up into places that it usually took half a dozen good men to salvage them from. These days the youngsters arent‘ so foolish as to waste their time and other peoâ€" ple‘s property. They spend ALL there time gathering loot from the various houses. Most of them, particularly the little girls, are fully.equipped with one or two shopping bags, and one litâ€" tle tyke last year had even borâ€" rowed a full size sugar sack. There is one thing to say about the kids these days as compared to when we used to bang on doors for a shellâ€"out, they are more practical than the past generation. _ = chased as a private residence. f Class 4, tractor, openâ€"Glen Regardless of the feeling of McFaddin, crown and finish; E. either side: if the Municipal|Brubacher, West Montrose; H.

In those days gasoline was brought in by wooden barrels and had to be kept in an old smoke house as it was necessary for safety precautions to have the supply at least 50 feet from the builâ€" ding.

When asked about the changes in the hardware business in the past 36 years, Mr. «Coleman laughingly replied: "Well I carâ€" ry about three times as much stock now as I did in 1912". He also referred to the electrical supplies and cameras which were not handled in the old days. Reâ€" cently, too, Mr. Coleman has adâ€" ded a modern china department to his store. _ The earliest date ~nown givâ€" ing definite information regardâ€" ‘ing the use of the building prior to 1871, was in 1857 when the post office was located in its acâ€" ‘cording to the original Millar Map Survey of the village, still on file here. It is believed howâ€" ever that the post office was in the front room of Mr. Coleman‘s house and not in the store proâ€" per and that John Millar was the first postmaster. It is also reportâ€" ed that a jewell“jy store was loâ€" cated in the building at one time before it became a hardware store. When Mr. Coleman laid a new hardwood floor in the livâ€" ing room of the house some years ago, he found that the old floor was badly marked by cuts from an axe showing that the room had also been used for wood splitting. Mr. Kriesel operated the hardâ€" ware store for 40 years after which his son, Bert »Kriesel owned the business for 5 years and then‘ in 1912, Mr. Coleman purchased it. In 1931 Mr. Coleâ€" man also purchased the old hotel sheds which adjoined the builâ€" ding. He remodelled them and is now using the additional space as warehouse. of Mrs. H. Kavelman, Mrs. J. Greulich and Mrs. I. H. Toman, was the proprietor. Mr. Kriesel commenced the first hardware business in the building and in the village. Mr. Coleman is in possession of the first deed to the property when Mr. Kriesel purchased the building from the John Millar Estate in 1871 for the sum of $1200.00. Mr. Coleman has discovered some brick work. Besides being a hardware store, the south eastâ€" ern part of the building also contains the living quarters for Mr. and Mrs. Coleman and their two daughters, Shirley and Maâ€" me.
