TOWN BUSINESS
[Welland Tribune, 14 May 1897]
IMPROVED- The appearance of Mr. Roach’s Commercial hotel has been wonderfully improved by the introduction of fine new windows, both upstairs and down-a single pane of glass to each sash.
THE price of patent medicine has been reduced by more than 25 per cent in town since the new customs tariff came into effect.
A GOOD ORDER- Messrs. Beatty & Sons have received an order from Messrs. Hughes Bros. & Bangs, Buffalo, for seven large hoisting engines, to be used in Bertie quarries in getting out stone for the Buffalo breakwater. The staff at the shops now numbers thirty-five hands, and are working over-time.
BEATTY & SONS have rapidly increased their staff of workmen during the past few weeks.
THE JAIL- Four arrivals at jail for the week and six names on the roll yesterday. Of the three tramps charged with larceny of watch at Port Robinson, McCalle gets 4 months at the central and the other two were discharged…George Flemming was brought in by Constable Monahan for trespassing on the M.C.R.tracks, with a five day sentence-a slight punishment for the trouble ans expense necessary to land the man in jail. If such men as these were charged with vagrancy much longer terms could be given…Judge Fitzgerald has discharged (on suspended sentence) young Sharp of Thorold, who was convicted in connection with the McCleary & McLean robbery.
CHARLES W. JEFFREY, recently of Buffalo, is now located in Ottawa, the capital of Canada.
DON’T miss the opportunity to have your parlor or store photographed by your town photographer, who guarantees the work and is always on deck if the work is not satisfactory. The apparatus will be in town until the 24th of May inclusive (only), and you will not have another opportunity to be photographed after that time. Come early and avoid the rush.
