Citizens of all stations in life filled the church to pay their last respects to one whom they ad- mired and loved. At the close of the service the "Dead March in Saul" was played by the organist, Mrs. J. A. Gunn, the congregation standing dur- ing its solemn and impressive rendi- tion, Besides local citizens present at the funeral many out of town busi ness associates and friends of de- ceased were present from Montreal, Toronto, Whitby, Oshawa, Newcastle and elsewhere. The floral tributes were very numerous and beautiful. Mr. Allen's genial pesonality and gentlemanly demeanour will be great- ly missed by a host of friends and business associates to whom he had endeared himself. Mr. Allen occu- pied a unique position in the com- in that he came in closer personal contact with youth of the town than most business men by supplying them with school supplies, which associa- tions he cherished and retained in many cases as adult customers in la- ter years. It may truthfully be said that Mr. Allen and the Big 20 Book Store were synonimous and house- hold words among the many families of this community, Mr. Allen took his business seri- ously and looked upon the service being a sacred trust so faithfully, conscientiously, and regularly did he stick to his daily task of being in his place of business--long hours too--to cater to the wants of his patrons. A large part of his business was devoted to selling daily newspapers dealing with the human element of "news" which has made such an appeal to all classes of readers in this 20th cen- tury. Reflect for a minute and think of the big news -- world events-- which has enthralled a nation, a con- tinent, the world, during the business career of this man.
