CHRISTMAS MEATS
[Welland Telegraph, 18 December 1891]
Mr. W.J. Best is wishing the readers of the TELEGRAPH the compliments of the holiday season, requests that they will give him a call during the coming week and leave their order for turkeys, ducks, geese, chickens, sausage, beef, veal, mutton and pork. This year he is selling fresh pork at from 8 to 10 cents per pound, accordingly to the cut. In fact, all meats are being sold at the lowest possible prices. Mr. Best says that he will have a finer show of meat and poultry this year then has ever had before, and for quality he is ready to challenge any of the city butchers. Do not forget that his store is next to the post office, and that from now till the end of the year the early closing by law will not interfere with his keeping open every night until his numerous customers are served.
GUEST’S MEAT MARKET
[Welland Telegraph, 18 December 1891]
Mr. W.F. Guest announces in another column his display of Christmas meats and holiday poultry, fatted and slaughtered especially for the holiday demand. A large number of beef, mutton and pork carcasses are on exhibition, from which the most choice cuts can be obtained. He has any quantity of poultry of the best quality and at the lowest market prices. See his announcement and call on him.
NEW ELECTRIC LIGHTS
[Welland Telegraph, 18 December 1891]
The cable for the new incandescent electric light system arrived last week and was placed in position on Monday, the current being turned on the same evening as a test. The light was very satisfactory, although the dyname was run at only about two-thirds speed. The regular service was commenced last night, and though it is probable for the first week the service may be a trifle unsatisfactory, its patrons are quite satisfied that after a few nights their light will be fully up to the promise. All the connections have not yet been made, but the wires are being put in as fast as possible. If Mr. Page would inaugurate an all-night system the patronage might be increased.

WELLAND GENERAL HOSPITAL
WELLAND GENERAL HOSPITAL
As Necessary as it will be Attractive.
[Welland Tribune, 17 January 1908]
Work will be commenced on the Welland General Hospital early in March, if the weather permits. The cuts accompanying the sketch are self-explanatory. The building, as it is well-known, will be built on the south side of the river bank, west of the rectory. Here, and amid the most pleasant surroundings, and aided by all that science and medical skill can discover or suggest, the injured will be treated, and the sick tenderly hurried to health again. The south elevation shows a very attractive exterior, rising from a stone basement. The first two storeys will be of red brick, above which will be stucco work. Spacious windows will give plenty of light, and the dimensions of the south elevation will be 40×86 feet.
The basement will contain the store and furnace rooms, the janitor’s room and the laundry. The kitchen closets. While for point of designated, the staff dining-room will also be in the basement, also pantries and also distinguishing it from the other floors, the word basement is used, yet it is not so according to the usual interpretation of the word. The place will be bright and airy, and practically be a ground floor, opening out on the terrace of the river bank. There will be ten rooms in the basement.
The first floor plan is attractive. The entrance to the hospital will be made through an airy verandah. A wide vestibule will lead to the office on the left, and that of the matron on the right. There will be two wards on this floor, the men’s ward to the left, and that of the women across the main hall, and opposite. Each public ward will accommodate eight beds. Baths, diet and lunch rooms, with lavatories, complete the arrangements.
The sick who are on easy street will take the second floor. Here are four private rooms and two semi-private wards. The semi-private wards will have room for two or three beds each. This flat will have a fine verandah. Besides the private rooms and wards, on this storey, will be the operating room, and the anesthetic room adjoining. This room is where the patient is sent to the realm of peace, before going into the spot where the nurses tread softly, and where the knives are sharp and the doctors are dressed in white. A recovery room adjoins the anesthetic room, where, in sound-proof walls the agonies returning, the patient can moan and cry without disturbing the other sick, for it is a dismal sound to hear one coming to from out the anesthetic. A sterilizing room adjoins the operating rooms. There are, of course, the usual closets, and bath rooms on this floor.
The third floor is given up on one end for the servants, who have two large dormitories. The nurses in the opposite end of the hall have a bath room, a large sitting-room and three bedrooms. There is also an isolation room on this floor, in case any contagious disease should creep in unheralded and undiagnosed.
The height of the building from basement to uppermost ceiling will be 11 feet. It will have a metal roof, will be electric lighted and heated by hot water.
The board is comprised of the following well-known gentlemen: W.E. Phin, President; A. Griffiths, 1st Vice President; G.C. Brown, treasurer; Dr. Colbeck, secretary; W.M. German, M.P., Co. Raymond, the Mayor in office; the Warden of the County, M. McAuliffe, Donald Sharpe, Dr. Howell, A.B. Huttell, Charles Henderson, Donald McGillivray, Dr. Garner and A.O. Beatty.
INTRODUCING A BANK MANAGER
[Welland Telegraph, 7 January 1908]
We are pleased to introduce to Welland G.S. Moore, the newly appointed manager of the Royal Bank in Welland, and we feel we can do this best by reprinting a despatch to the Halifax Chronicle from Amherst, N.S.:-
Amherst, Dec. 30- The very many friends of G.S. Moore, manager of the Royal Bank of Canada here, will regret to hear that as soon as he is sufficiently recovered from a severe attack of peritonitis, from which he has been suffering, that he is to remove to Welland having been appointed to the management of the royal there.
During Mr. Moore’s stay in Amherst, something over two years, he has made many friends and has done much toward building up the large business of the bank numbering among his patrons some of the very best business and private accounts in Amherst. As a bank manager he has proved himself a man of exceptional ability, and business men generally will regret his leaving.
Mr. Moore and the family will also be greatly missed having mad many friends during their stay here. Welland, to which place, Mr. Moore goes, is one of the growing towns of Ontario, and like Amherst is a centre of industry, there being something over 3000 mechanics employed in the different industries. Being in the centre of the largest natural gas belt in the world, and only twelve miles from the largest electrical power plants in the world, the industrial advantages are exceptionally good, and while Amherst regrets the removal of Mr. Moore, they will wish him the same success in the new sphere as had attended him in Amherst. It is not known who will succeed Mr. Moore in the Royal Bank.
BUSINESS CHANGE
[Welland Telegraph, 7 January 1908]
The coal and lumber business on North Main Street, carried on by the late W.H. Crow for many years, has been purchased by Samuel Lambert of Thorold, formerly of Welland.
BANK OF NOVA SCOTIA OPENED ON SATURDAY
[Welland Telegraph, 7 January 1908]
The Welland Branch of the Bank of Nova Scotia opened its doors for business on Saturday morning. Visitors were very much pleased with the handsome offices of the bank. The work was designed by Arthur E. Nicholson of St. Catharines and the work was carried by the following men: Alterations, P.S. Peacock; masonry, Marcus Vanderburg; painting, Racher and Hyatt. The Canadian Office and School Company of Preston put in the fittings, which are of quartered oak, and very tasteful and handsome. There are two large vaults with safes made by the Gould & McCullough Company of Galt. The lighting is done by the Welland Electrical Company.
The manager of the Welland branch is P.A. Rowley of Fredericton, N.B., and the accountant, F.A. Bremmer of Charlottetown, P.E.I. Mr. Rowley will be joined in a week by Mrs. Rowley, and they will take up their residence on West Main Street in Mr. Vanderburg’s house, which is being altered and improved.
The Bank of Nova Scotia occupies a place singularly its own. Its stock is quoted today at 276, which is the highest quotation on Canadian Bank stock, and is 53 points higher than its nearer competitor. Expert auditors from Scotland, men who have no connection to any sense with the bank, make the audit each year. It is one of the four banks in Canada paying twelve per cent interest on stock. At present the bank has 85 branches of which _are in Ontario, but a number of other branches are to be opened in this province in the new year.
This is one matter in connection with the opening of the Welland branch that should not be overlooked. The bank believes in patronizing home industry, and spent all its money for local alterations with local men.
