OPENING OF NEW RINK
[Welland Telegraph, 9 January 1912]
The new ice rink on Maple Avenue of which Mason & Murdoch are managers, opened on Friday night for the season. The severe cold snap had the effect of putting the sheet of ice in fine condition for skating and after an hour’s hockey practice the rink was opened to skaters for the remainder of the evening. About one hundred and fifty were present. The rink is large, having a regulation size ice space. There are three dressing rooms and the office is equipped with a phone. A number of improvements are still to be made before the rink is complete, however.
OPENING NEW DRUG STORE
W.G. Smith of Hamilton on Monday morning opened his new drug store in the block formerly occupied by the Hennessey Drug Co., on East Main Street. Mr. Smith has leased the block and put in an entirely new stock of drugs of every kind as well as cigars, tobaccos, stationery and chocolates. The store will be run on a first-class basis. Mr. Smith, who is an honor graduate of the Ontario College of Pharmacy, will conduct the store along the most modern lines. In the summer the fashionable ice cream parlor in the rear of the drug department will be placed in charge of an expert manager.
