Useful Accessories Readily Available To a long time Hearing Aid user like this writer it, seems deplorable that so many women. and men willingâ€" ly endure the isolation and misery occasioned by deafness, and impose a strain upon family and triends. rather than wear “one of those ear things". Modern hearing aids yearly become more compact, and more powerful, and can be a definite boon to all but, a small percentage of people with impaired hearing. For the convenience of his customers who wear Hearing Aids, Mr. Hal. Harley now carries Ereready. and Mallory, mercury and transis- tor batteries, at standard retail prices. And . . . speaking of batteries. you can obtain refills (or your transistor radio. and flashlight. in Harley‘s Pharmacy. also flashlight and photographers flash bulbs. a Philco Shaver which opâ€" erates on its own battery. and Sunbeam. and Remington models which will plug in to either your car or home electric circuit. Another popular feature of this up-to- date drug store is the machine at which TV and radio tubes can be tested free of charge. But . . . first. and foremost, Hal Harley is a prescrip. tinn specialist. if you need medicine your doetor can telephone Mr. Harley. and it will be delivered to your door. Twenty-five years ago in 'l‘hornhill, McDonald's Grocery (nmv the Village Hardware) was a typical rural store with oak counters and shelves, and many built-In bins and draWers, to hold staple foods sold by bulk. The tinkling bell above the door, the rolls of wrapping paiaer. the hang- lng ball of string. the scales with weights. and the cracker barrel were among features seldom seen today. HARLEV'S PHARMAFY Old customers were knocking on the door before the shelving was in place so it is hardly necessary to tell you that McFarlane's Meat 8: Grocery Store is now established in larger premises. in the new shopping plaza on Yonge St.. just north of Arnold Ave. We would like to say. however. how glad we are that Mr. and Mrs. Jack McFar- lane. the pleasant, cowteous. proprietors, who know all their customers by name. did not move their business from the village. There will always be a need for the small, friendly store. panticularly when it has something special to offer. The McFarlanes. for instance. accept. and deliver. telephone orders. and as franchised agents for the Scanlon Bakery, Aurora. receive daily consignments of. delicious fresh breads, doughnuts. cakes. pies. etc. They also take orders for birthday. and other decorated cakes. You can be sure of good meat too. for Jack Mc- Farlane is a butcher of long experience. He bought a butcher business in 'l‘hornhill in .1947 just, when the vill- age was beginning to expand. later added a general line of quality groceries. and he. and his wife. plan to continue the same excellent service they have been giving for the past 14 years.
