! THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES -- Uireater Oshawa Edition -- SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1928 or Adams Furniture Store Courteous, Efficient, Uncostly "To hesitating young couples--We feather the mest," is no idle slogan of the Adams Furniture Store, Sim- coe street south. Ever since Adams Furniture Company came here on that eventful day in their history, March 26, 1927, their beautiful store has been noted for the efficient, courteous znd uncostly manner in which it has been able to feather nests whether it be for hesitating young couples or for quiet homes well t the hesitating stage. On March 26 of this year, with the 34th Ontario Regimental Band in attendance and other special features making it an outstanding event, the store celebrated its first birthday, and according to T. C. Young the man- ager, the intentions is to have a birthday celebration such as this ev- T, OC, YOUNG Oshawa Manager for Adams Furni- ture Co, ery year. He considers the opening of 'the Oshawa branch a momentous event in the history of his firm, and rightly so judging by the popularity and the universal approval which the firm has met with since its opening. Tf anyone were to ask you who founded the Adams Furniture Com- pany, you would very likely reply, "Semeone by the name of Adams, na doubt." This, however, is not the case and behind the history of the Adams Furniture Company there is a romance of modern business. About three decades ago, there was a small store on Yonge street, To- ronto, which was controlled by the C. F. Adams Furniture Company, of Buffalo, N.Y. Mr. C. S. Coryell was in 'charge of the store when news came that it must be shut down at MAJOR A. F. HIND Police Magistrate the orders from the head office in Buffalo, Rather than see this happen, Mr. Coryell bought the business and set out on his own initiative under the name of the Adams Furniture Company, incorporating into the new name of the former controller of the business. From the small store on Yonge street the firm moved to the corner of Queen and James and from there to their present up-to-date and fully equipped house furnishing store at the corner of Yonge streets, where a business prestige among the foremost houses in To- ronto is now enjoyed. One of the latest features in the store is the Trade-In department where customers can trade in their old furniture as part payment on new furnishings. This i which is rapidly growing in popu- larity both in. Toronto and in Osh- awa. Radios and Columbia Truphonics and records are among the items re- garded as special features at Adams, and they have a right to be proud of the splendid lines which they han- dle, Rogers Batteryless, De Forest Crosley and Rideau Batteryless ra- dios give an ample variety for any wish pocket. The Rideau Batteryless radio for which Adams is an agent, is the new product of the Williams Piano Company and although no campaign has as.yet been started to put' the article on the market, one radio has already been sold and the fine quality of reception. and appear- ance insures its popularity when it becomes better known, Fur coats and frocks of the better class are given special attention in the local store while a special rest room for ladies lends an added in- centive for milady to make the store a regular place of visit on her shop- ping excursions, The public in gen- eral are encouraged to make this an appointment place of meeting with their friends. All these features to- gether with one of the best lines of | Sani | thing and the instinct of workman- and Shuter. is an innovation | i-Built living room furniture to be found anywhere, makes Adams one of the most popular stores in Osh- awa's downtown district. You don't have to preach honesty to men with a creative purpose. Let a human: being throw the energies of his soul into the making of some- ship will take care of his honesty. The writers who have nothing to say are the ones you can buy; the others have too high a price. A genuine craft will not ate his pro- duct: the reason isn't because duty says he shouldn't, but because pas- sion says he couldn't. Dominion Bank Here Since 1871 One of the Leading Financial Institutions in City-- Two Branches Oshawa's first branch of the Dominion Bank dates back to the organization of that strong finan: cal institution which maintains headquarters at Toronto, and wit2 hundreds of branches throughout the Dc minion. That is to say, both | ihe Dominion Bank and, the Cab awa branch of that iastitution were opened for business im.1871. Since its imception, the Dominion Bank has been a tower of strength in the developing of Oshawa as a thriving industrial town and, even- tually, as a city. Of particular interest locally is the fact that R. S. McLaughlin, president of General Motors of Canada Ltd., is a member of the Dominion Bank's Board of Direc- tors. The growth of the Dominion Bank business in Oshawa rseulted recently in the opening of a sub- oaded on a trans-atlan accompanied them in this record Collyer across the he made his first world record. Twice now, John Henry Mears has circled the world in record time. On each occasion the Can- adian Pacific liner "Empress of Russia" has enabled him to beat all former records. Twenty-three days before his plana "The City of New York" landed at Curtiss field, L.JI, Mears and his pilot, B. D. Collyer, flew 700 miles out to sea and landed aboard the ship that conveyed him to France. Arriv- ed in Europe, he flew from Cher- bourg to Yokohama and boarded the "Empress of Russia" at Kobe, where the white liner waited ready to dash across the Pacific 1.

From Vancouver to New York was covered by Mears' monoplane, which he car- ried with him on board. - In his first article Mears prophesied suc- cess for himself and his compan- fon because "the Canadian Pacific liner "Empress of Russia" brought me luck when I broke the record in 1913 and I look on it as a good omen that she is to help me break the record again." He succeeded in braaking the record even better than expected, the "Empress of Russia" bringing him in a day ahead of schedule, enabling him to hop across the 3. e Empr York" aboard, She was used x gs folded at Curtis Field, N.Y. fy fv pe by Mears in 1913 continent in his plane and arriva at Battery Park, New York, 23 days, 156 hours, 21 minutes, and 3 seconds after he had left on his journey eastward, He sent the following telegram to Mr. H.

Sixteen officers and clerks are required to handle the uptown branch's business, while there is an accountant and clerk at the South Oshawa Branch. An interesting fact is that the "Thirty Club" famous men's or- ganization in Oshawa for a num- ber of years, occupies the entire second floor in the Dominion Bank Building. J. H.
