door and they wouldnt know They use them without being conscious of A person who is -methodical- and observant when he has his vision retains those habits and memories to assist him when his sight is gone said Mr Campbell No doubt it is be cause of these attitudes to his handicap that the time has rived when Mr Campbell can celebrate years as a Main St merchant It Is a tribute him that the shoppers of New irket and district do not think of his handicap think of a sue- cessfui independent business- man and of course thats the Campbell waints Jtr4 Ji- Jvi
