Mechanics' Institute

Markdale Mechanics' Institute is now incorporated, and if we may judge from the executive abilities together with financial, social and moral standing of its officers, which are given below, we may forecast an institution of prosperity and permanence. We hope to see all pull together and each cheerfully aid in making in a genuine success by assuming a due share of responsibility, and work for the good of the Institute and thus make it a value to the town as well as to individuals.
