Tims explained on a tnrp to Blackstock one Sunday afternoon he saw the store and ca me up with the idea 0f run- ning a trading post., The building is located just north of the CNR line which isused only for some freight trains now. This prompted the name "The Iron Horse." Tims bas been in the business of selllng In- dian handicrafts for the past three years. He told The Whitby Free Press it was flot by design, but by, a sequence of events that he got into the busi-, ness. His training was in housewares and hard- ware.' He was a buyer for a chain store.> He explained that econornic conditions have been getting worse for the last three to four years. He decided he had to get into some- thing more interesting and durable. Tims ad- ded this line was made available to us. "People are going back to basics...coats, sweaters, etc.' They, would rather buy good Canadian products than Mexican. They know the quality of Canadian lea-, ther is far superior," Tims said. He went on to ýsay "What we seil here is unique, not production. goods.ý Other stores don't carry this type of mnerchandise and, we strive to keep, our prices realistic for the con- sumer. We offer,,good value and the customer receives good value." Tims cited that a handcrafted ladies' Une produced by Jinx Senior of Quebec is sold in the store. The only other store carrying ýthis line is Sax of Sth Ave., New York, according to Tims. The Iron Horse Trading Post bas 700 square feet of show room which is filled-to capacity with merchan- dise. A wooden Indianà stands guard outside the store and store mana- ger, Lyn Aldcorn, greets the customers inside with a cheery smile. Boa à irst nighterl il be back betors Mildnighi.
