MARKET DAY
[Welland Tribune, 1 January 1897]
When the market question was first under consideration, THE TRIBUNE persistently advocated one market day a week, believing that one good market day was better than two or three poor ones. The one day market was not accepted by the council, and now we struggle along with one, two or three, according to the season- but none are looming red-letter days in town. Dunnville, however, saw that there was an opening for a famous one-day market in this section of the country, knowing that Buffalo buyers would come a reasonable distance for produce, etc., if they could be certain of meeting a sufficient number of sellers to make it an object. Dunnville established her Tuesday market day, and the success of it is phenomenal. On Tuesday before Christmas, an eye witness says there were over four hundred teams in town, and that the streets and stores were crowded with buyers and sellers. Tuesdays are like county fair days in Dunnville now.
