by the west in the finals the recklings were greatly pleased with what they saw of stouffville on this their first visit here the large homes in stouffville impress ed and pleased them this ought not to be in a press statement issued in markham last week by reeve frank burkholder in support of the bylaw to be voted on there at the january election authorizing the expendi ture of 30000 for a new town hall the reeve stated that it was said by one interested in the stouffville theatre that onehalf of the business comes from markham and the dis trict which may or may not be correct however he continued to state this ought not to be as thesu people should come to mark ham to transact business and make markham their centre after all should not the people of the district come to stouffville to do business and they did not do business here before we had a theatre it is hardly fair to say that john jones or bill smith should do their business in this or that town that is their own business the day of the local business man crabbing because of people buying in tor onto is a thing of the past if the local merchant offers as good buys as the city store no doubt jones and smith will shop at home stouffville has for long years been a famous shopping centre and will be regardless of anything that may be said or done if markham needs a new hall we wish the promoters success and from what we hear the vote for a hall is likely to carry there but we do not like the idea of deploring the shopping success of a sister com munity as one of the prime reasons for getting a favorable vote 0 im ssm
