While busi- ness has been more active than usual within the last year or two, real estate was on the market in the early days, be- fore the town to exper- ience growing There is on exhibit at the office of The Times, a poster of an auction sale of "desirable building lots" which took place over fifty years ago, the rty then offered what is now part of the land upon which stands the General Motors. Old-timers remember distinctly when Mary street, which passes through the heart of the General Motors' property, was but a lane, leading out to the barns of a farm on the outskirts of the town. The farm was later surveyed and sold for building lots, some of the prop- erty being secured by the McLaugh- lin Motor Company and used for fac- tory puposes, The particular property advertised for sale by auction comprised the block of land bounded by Mary street on the west, Bond street on the south, Mrs, Fairbank's property on the east, and Richmond street on the north, The circular ran: "The subscribers have instructed Mr. John McGill, auctioneer, to offer Office for sale on the premises, on Satur- day, June 5, 1875, at ome o'clock p. m., those excellent building lots forming part of the Karr Estate, shown on the following diagram :" The announcement states further "These lots are situated just south- cast of the Oshawa Cabinet Factory, and within a few rods of King street. They are the most desirable lots on the market." "Terms easy and made known at the sales or on application to the undersigned, William McGill, R. Mc- Gee, Executors, or to McGee and Jones, Solicitors." The posters were printed by The Reformer office, when it was located on King street. The history of this property is in- teresting from the standpoint that the property which then fell under the auctioneer's hammer later became the centre of activity for Oshawa's leading industry, The lots were read- ily picked up by various citizens and houses erected. The property was then acquired by The McLaughlin Motor Company, in making altera- tions and extensions to their plant, In those days it did not require many real estate offices to handle the propery placed on the local market. uch of the real estate was handled by merchants dealing in other com- modities, This particular branch of business has gone forward by leaps and bounds until today there are a large number of firms specializing in Oshawa's desirable residential and business properties, Latest and Best in Men's Wear C. V, Cartwright, while new to the buying public of Oshawa is not a new figure in the men's clothing trade of Ontario, having been liter- ally raised in a clothing store, Opening up his first store twent, years ago in the town of Meaford, on the Georgian Bay, Mr, Cartwright radually developed one of the argest men's wear stores north of Toronto, He was unfortunate in los- ing his store and stogk by fire, Mr, Cartwright re-opened business in Goderich, where he successfully operated for several years, eventually selling out and transferring his in- terests to St, Catharihes, where he made a connection with the Unit Men's Stores, Limited. His next move brought him into Hamilton, one of the greatest retail clothing centres in Canada, In March of this year Mr, Cart- wright acquired the old-established clothing business of C. W.. Deten- beck and after making many changes in the interior arrangements and me- thods of handling stock he now has in operation 8 modern up-to-date city clothing store, Mr. Cartwright brings to Oshawa his connection with the Unit Men's Stores Limited--a buying organiza- tion composed of fourteen powerful stores located in the larger centres of Ontario, Group-buying and vol- ume selling brings this store into a position of importance in the men's wear trade of Oshawa. The net earning of General Mo- tors Corporation for the first half of 1928 increased to $161,267,974 from $129,250,207 in the first half of 1927, according to a dispatch from New York. The balance of $156,565974 after dividends on preferred and de- benture stocks, was equal to $9 a share on the common stock, against $124,841,987, or $7.17 a'share in the first half of 1927 on a comparable share basis. The figures established new 'earnings records both for the 'half year and the second quarter, C, V, CARTWRIGHT Successor to T.

Art accom- plishes by indirection, The 'beautiful refines. The perfect in art suggests the perfect in conduct. The harmony in music teaches, without intention, the lesson of proportion in life. The bird in his song has no moral pur. pose, and yet the influence is human- izing. The beautiful in nature acts through appreciation and sympathy, It does not brow-Leat, neither does it humiliate. It is beautiful without regard to you. Roses would be un- bearable if in their red and perfumed hearts were mottoes to the effect that bears eat had boys and that honesty is the best policy, Art creates an atmosphere in which the proprietics, the amenities, and the virtues un- consciously grow. The rain does not lecture the seed. The light "does not make rules for the yine and flower. The heart is softened by the pathos of the perfect.--Robert G.. Ingersoll.

ITALIAN RUNS AMOK AS WIFE SUCCUMBS Charges Doctor and Mid: wife With Butcher Knife New York, Aug. 10,--Attilio De Angelo, 35, a laborer, sat in the kitchen of his three rooms, third floor back, No. 315 Broome street, Around him stood his seven children by a former marriage. He had laid off work for the day. His face glowed, He called them pet names and made them half-prom- ises that excited them, They watched their father uneasily, He seemed nervous, but happy. There was nothing but two bedrooms and a kitchen in the flat, all in a row. The children did not go into the empty bedroom next to the kitchen, They had been for- bidden, In the far hedroom were two strangers with their step-mother, who was sick, The first one, Dr, G. Ittolito, of down in Spring St., had left hurriedly and returned hastily with the second, a compe tent-looking woman named Mrs, Immaolato Bottino, The children had seen Dr, Itto- lito. before, but never Mrs. Bot- tino. : Papa Attilio seemed to the chil- dren to be very thirsty. He jump- ed up frequently from his chair and went to the tap at the sink. He did not seem to realize that he had just had a drink a moment before, Finally the door opened. Attilio was already there. "Do not pull the long face-- speak!" Attilio shouted. He was laughing and he nudged Dr. It- tolito in the ribs. 'Believe me," said Dr. Ittolito, "We did everything. Mrs. Bottino did everything, too, everything. But we could not save her. You are a man, and you know about these things, and IT am glad to. be able to comfort you by telling you that we did, Mrs. Bottino and --" Attilio, who had stood motion- less, interrupted the doctor with a wild curse that was heard throughout the tenement, He ran to the table, knocking his offspring endwise, and swung around with the meat knife in his hand. His yells and the shrieks of the seven De Angelo children filled the building. Carrying the knife out-thrust before him, Attilio entered the room in which the body of his wife was lying. The terrified mid- wife fled. She overrook the flee- ing doctor on the stairs. Papa Patrolman John Connolly, an el- derly man, encountered the doctor and the midwife in the street below. "He's big and stropg," warned Dr. Ittolito. Trafic Policeman John McCrory ran up. He is a young athlete and an amateur boxer. "Remember what that fellow Caruso did to Dr. Pendols," said McCrory, "We had both better go up, These Wops--" Had Revolyer The patrolmen shoved through jabbering, excited erowds on the stairs. They reached the third floor back. They found De Angelo. He had changed his meat knife for a revolver, McCrory leaped across the room and twisted the gun from his grasp. De Angelo, by this time quite crazy, attacked the officers with his bare hands. Once he got half way out through the sirshaft win- dow, and McCrory hauled him back from their grip.
