A BUSTLE IN BEAMSVILLE
[Welland Tribune, 4 February 1898]
The news of the action of the county council in electing Mr. C. E. Riggins as a member of the high school board caused quite a flutter of excitement in the village of Beamsville, but was not, as many supposed, the reason for the unusual bustle there yesterday. There was music in the air, it is true, but it was boxed up, and was being delivered wholesale. Mr. Eckhardt arrived in town, as happy a man as one would wish to see, and he had good reason to be proud. His mission was the delivery of three of those magnificent Heintzman grand pianos in upright form. (a new and exclusive idea) with patent agraffe bridge, to three of the leading citizens of Beamsville: Hugh Sinclair, Jno. Ritchie and Mrs. J.B. Osborne. People wondered what the excitement was, and when they learned that these sales were made after other agents had done their best, they came to the conclusion that Mr. Eckhardt was a genuine hustler. Not a bad Friday’s work, rounded up with the previous sale of another Heintzman cabinet to Miss Thompson of this city, a Bell to Mr. James Robinson of Niagara township, and a Dominion to a leading citizen of St. Catharines. “Goods the best; prices right,” is as potent as ever.-St. Catharines Star.
