HENRY, Manager YOUR MERCHANT Would you live in a town where there were no stores and you had to travel several miles every time you wished to buy some article? Certainly not. The expense of living in such a place would be too great. It would cost you too much to get to your source of supply, aside from the prices you might be obliged to pay in another city. Besides, merchants in these other cities would not know you, trust you and place confidence in you. The merchant i is necessary in the community. He is your servant. He is a community leader. He supports your school, churches and civic institutions and gives you the advantage of a market at your very door. For all this your merchant is entitled to your support: If he is necessary to the community he is necessary to you, and it is your duty to buy his goods and enable him to continue business. In supporting your merchant you are also supporting yourself. Every dollar you spend in Port Perry adds to the progress of your town and every dollar you spend some- where else retards the success of Port Perry. People of this town want to live in a prosperous community. They have a sensation of pride when someone refers to it as a "live town." It is a "live town" only because of the support of its residents. If everyone were to suddenly decide.to buy no- thing here, the town would not last a year. People would move away. As long as the residents continue to support the local merchants, the town will prosper, You are a resident Will you be found lacking ? ce Willard & Co. & Co.

He died in the city of Toronto, July 29, 1864 and his remains lie in St. James Cemetry, His wife was Elizabeth Foster, She! sa was born in County Caven in 1779 a and died in the 'county of her birth in| | John Brown, Ireland in 1802 go ation of this branch of the family She died at the home of her daughter, December 1885, having attained the age of 83 years. Her husband was eldest son of Robert}, Brown, brother of the formier John. He was born in the county of Caven, Ireland, in 1800. John and. Mary and made their home with her father, About 1830 John came further west H the Kingston road to what is now the town of Whitby, at that time a very few houses. At the four corners it was-all brush at that time. This is in the County of South Ontario. Then he travelled north to thé north boun- dary of the township of Whitby, which is the first concession of Reach. There | he staked a caim for Lot no. 4. About the same time his cousin, Alexander Brown, staked Lot no. 5. Lot no. 4 comprised 200 acres of timber--maple, beech, rock elm, birch and other timb- er with a sprinkling of "white pine, Having, accomplished this much, he went back to Bytown and got his papers and deeds from the Canada |, Land Company or Crown. Remember those trips up and back were on foot. ' Just one hundred years 'ago, there was scarcely any covey- ance, perhaps an ox-cart Jr jumper. When he got tired walking he gener- ally found a stopping place with some pioneer settlers who were ahead of him. The next spring with what he could carry in the shape of camping equip- ment and a couple of axes, he walked back again and cleared a space and built a shanty. He worked as best he could and got a small clearing ready for next spring. In the fall he went back to Lanark County and married Mary Brown in the spring of 1832. ed and cultivated one of 'the best farms in south Ontario. There they had their seasons of prosperity and and adversity. Of this union there were born two sons--Mary Ann, the first child, Alex- ander, and William John. There was a second daughter, who at the age of "before thé open fire by her mother for 'a few minutes while she attended to "some work outside the shanty. In the interval, the little one had rocked her chair so that it tipped toward the fire and she was terribly burned about the face, breast, and hands. She died in a very short time, In those days it was no uncommon occurance to hear wolves howling at night. . They would sometimes come around the shanty and even jump up- on the low roof at the back. - I might say here that the shanty was roofed and shingled with hollow basswood logs, simply split in two, course laid with side down and the joints covered with a second course, the round part up so, that it was water tight, if not alr Sighy o wind Heh: Tt was also quite Mary Ann, in the township of Reach, | came to Canada about 1827 or 1828 | He brought her up to their first home i in the woods and together they clear- and two | nine months was left in a high chair| the first | 6 in. x 20 in,, ese Towels HE Sa 'Sweaters and Cos Coat Sweaters.
