Richmond Hill Telephone 118 “WWW” ALL MAKES GUARANTEED W WOOW”OW A printing office would not be a very attractive place for an enterâ€" prising burglar. He could not eas- ily make away with a printing press; an old file of newspapers \‘vould‘ not_ bring him a fortune at a Proctor’s IStag'e Line advertised that it connected with all trains. A column headed “News at a Glance” in whichI practically every other 'item is a patent medicine “come-on” mixes world and local news in fine style. It is recorded that “The rebels are encircling Khar- toum” and that the vColling’wood En- terprise stated that Owen Sound was to be made the Ontario terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway sysâ€" tem. . (‘ornet Band l’etitioned A petition from the Richmond Hi1] Cornet iBand prayed the local coun- cil, {with John Brown being- Reeve, for a grant of $16 a year for rental of the Temperance Hall for practises. Sad to say the council laid the peti- tion over. 194 Holmes Ave” Willowdale PHONE ZONE 8-468 Sorry â€" I made a. mistake just now in stating that the grocers of 1884 didn’t advertise. Have just discov- ered one. W. Atkinson told readers that he had 25‘ pounds â€"â€" get that â€" twenty-five pounds of good raisins for a dolluar, and six pounds of the best rice gar a quarter. Editor- Stewart must have been in a pessimistic frame of mind when he penned the following. 01- per- haps,, like today's citizens, he was feeling the effect of that awful month of January, with its post- Christm‘as obligations. Said he: “Everybody knows that the life of an editor is not a very happy or enviable one, notwithstanding the fact that he generally is favoured with a little present of the first basket of green peas, early apples, or potatoes, or the largest pumpkin in the county, or IR complimentary pass to a‘travelling' how in order to get a local “puff,” ut every pos- ition in life has its advantages. For instance, when jewellers and bank- ers are in nightly dread of burglars, editors can sleep supremely with a clear conscience and without fear. Just today local realtor R. H. Kane was commenting to me on the growing scarcity of good Ibuilding lots. He should have been around in 1884 because Dr. Langstaff was then advertising eight building lots on Centre Street East for $100 each, with 15% down payment. The name of J. A. Sturgeon Stewâ€" art appears on the masthead of the 1884 paper as Editor and Proprietor. In those long ago days, when votes as to the supplanting of rad- ials by busses were undreamed of, transportation was a leisurely afiairl Advertising his new hotel, the Pal- mer House, John Palmer made a big point of the fact that the omnibus for Toronto left his door daily at 7.3-0 a.m. The N.R.R. (What was that?) published its 'Itimetable, headed by a woodcut of one of the old-time locomotives. Two trains at day left Toronto City Hall, running through Union Station, Brock St., Queen’s Wharf and through the country to ‘Parkdale, Davenport. Weston, Thonnhill, Richmond Hill and on to Newmarket. Surprising- ly enough, the time from City Hall to Richmond Hill was only an hour and ‘two minutes. '* The first thing that strikes one is the complete absence of grocery ads. It may be remembered that a few weeks ago I gave some grocery pri- ces â€"- figures that make today’s housewife envious â€"â€" from a 1901 issue. \But iseventeen years before that apparently the local grocers didn’t appreciate the value of adver- tising at all. As in 1901 patent medicine adver- tisements seem to have provided the backbone of Liberal advertising, even occupying- the front page. There, out of five columns, one full one is filled with the gory details of the aches and pains which were cur- able only by lSo-randâ€"so’s- infallible remedy. ' Page R. H. Kane forced sale; and if he stole news- paper accounts he would not be able to collect them, while the theft of the \vastepaper ba5ket with its as- sortment of poetry would bring a a way of life so completely different from the present that it seems like another world, seem to have a fatal fascination for me. Getting back to the file of The Liberal for 1884 â€" there I stuck. Incidentally, speaking of the Fair's centenary, The Liberal plans to say as much as possible about past fairs â€" especially the “way back when” ones. There does not seem to be any too much in the way of recorded information about the earlier days of the Fair, so any information tuck- ed away in the minds of “old-timers" will be Very much appreciated. Just telephone Richmond Hill 9, please, if you can» help. v Now back. to the issue of January 25th, 1884 ~â€" sixty-five years ago. It’s only a few weeks now until the Richmond Hill Agricultural So- ciety celebrates its centenary, so I’ve been putting in a few hours looking through old files to collect miorrmatlon about fairs of earlier days. And, as usual, that was my down- fall.

PuL‘ Meeting, at the Richvale School, S- u1'd_ay, April 30th, at eight o’clock And, in closing for this week, it‘s interesting: to note that C. P. Lennox, dentist, stated that he had the ex- clusive right for the use of “Vitalized Air" for extracting teeth without pain and that the best sets of arti- ficial teeth on rubber were worth $8.00. Those who really wanted to put on the dog could.do so by pur- chasing a celluloid mounted set for ten bucks. - . lar could bear." Newspaper Battle The battle between the Richmond Hill Liberal and the Markham Sun waged hot and heavy in those days. Said The Liberal of The Sun: “When a public journal has so lit- tle regard for the rules of decency or regard for the proprieties of journalism or the principle of truth as to make such statements as the Sun made, we consider it quite he- neath our notice and to reply effec- tively would require us to meet it with its own weapons, which we would scorn to do. And not only this but in order to prevent us from replying it withhold its usual ex- change so that we should not see the article . . . . The fact that Mr. James is about to prosecute the Sun for libel, if it is found that the nominal proprietor has anything". shows plainly what that journal will stoop to.” Heigho, good red meat! Even if the accounts didn’t get paid and ed- itors had to live on donated pump- kins and peas there was always a grogd fight handy, with no holds barâ€" re . Wonder which set Editor Stewart bought 'â€" or took in trade â€" after chewing the Markham Sun to pieces?
