g. CEHF.-., elertricai Their clerk a' pre-

sent. is Mrs. Reginald 'i'i'ax'er: Mr. Leard is a member of the Quarter Century Radio Club. in

January, 1921, he purchased the first radio to come to Alberton. Some of the early models he owned may still be seen at his store but they bear little resem- blance to the models he and his son. Roy, offer for sale today. Roy established a "first". too. when in February, 1954. he secured a tele- vision set the first to come to Prince County.

After the Post Office was mov- ed across the street in 1936 the

old building was purchased by Fred White. Here he, Mrs. White and their son. Gordon, sell ice

cream of their own manufacture. clothing and groceries. On their windows may be seen advertise- ment of the current picture being shown at their theatre in another part of town. In the same build- ing is office space recently oz.- cupied by G. E. Robinson, M.D. C I C

In the spring of 1954 Mr. White purchased the house previously re- ferred to as belonging to William Wells. During the month of May it was demolished and in its place is being erected a large, modern building. It was not without a twinge of regret that older citi- zens saw this old house passing For more than one hundred years it had stood there and its timbers had been hewn from pine trees that once grew on that very lot. Its floors were of two-inch plank fitted to- gether with gr.oove and tongue Joists were mortised and floor- ing was held in place with large wooden pegs. Built by Edwin Wai- lace, it was rented for some years to Mr. and Mrs. Ireland. Men and women of what is now the older generation recall with pleaa- T ure the candy sold by Mrs. Ire- V land. some of it home-made. With- in recent years the house had fallen into a sad state of dis- repair and. ironically enough, was . considered a serious fire hazard- ' this little old fashioned house which had stood unscathed through the fire of 1896 which 3 came to its north wall and again through the fire of 1919 which came to its south wall.

Next in line is Keenan's cloth- ing store owned by Mrs. W. A Gordon. The clerk is Miss Thelma Ahearn.

Caliaghan's Variety and Fashion Shop, erected in 1951, carries s large and varied stock. With Mrs. Merritt Callaghan are two clerks. Miss Katherine 0'Mai1ey and Miss Elma Inman.

Hardy's men's and boys cloth- ing store opened for business In - May, 1953. Wesley Hardy, pro-

Club, loner left, Canadian Legion Memorial Home; loweri

prletor, is agent for Tip Top Tailors and his store is the local bus stop.

Weeks' Radio Sales and Service has as its proprietor Frank Week; who is also agent for Massey-Han - ris farm machinery. Mr. Weeks is in charge of The Guardian Office
