The new store replaces the former one which for many years was a landmark in Richmond Hill. Before conversion to a hardware twelve years ago it was the site of the Rustic Inn,‘ operated for many years by the late Mr. and Mrs. James Wigmore. The fine new modern store was built by local contractors, Decian- tis and Bicg'and covers an area it replaces and in which Mr. George Hill and son Mr. Allan Hill have carried on business for the past twelve years. The new store is spacious, attractive and de- signed to meet the needs of this rapidly growing community. More than one hundred prizes will be given away free during opening days.~ On motion of Councillor Hag- gart the clerk will make a spec- ial report to council on by law enforcement, as it relates to en- forcement of the zoning by law.

Full details of. the opening spec- ials appear elsewhere in this is- sue. The proprietors of Richmond Hill Hardware are two of Rich- mond Hill’s best known business men, and have taken an active‘ part in the business and commun- ity life of the district. They like Richmond Hill and have demon- strated their faith in its future by opening this fine new store to- day. They have spared no effort or expense to make sure the new store is a credit to the town and equipped to take care of the con- tinuing increase in local business. Mr. Allan Hill attended St. Mi- chael’s College, Toronto, and af- ter leaving school went to work for the well known Aikenhead Hardware firm. He remained with Aikenheads until he came to Rich- mond Hill to go into business: with his father. He was married a year after the opening of the old store and he and his wife Celestine celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary just last Friday, a week before the official opening of the new store. Mr. George Hill ls a hardware man from away back, and has a lifetime of experience in the busi- ness. Twelve years ago with his son Mr. Allan Hlll he established the Richmond Hill Hardware here. and the business has grown and proepered__t_hrough the years day and Saturday and there will be free gifts for all. Everyone is invited to call in and inspect the new premises. They are assured of a warm and cordial welcome from the proprietors.
