The old Ainsworth store was built.by
O. and r. Ainsworth in 1889, follow
ing fire which burned it's predecessor
in the summer of that year. We are
told that the late artist, Thomas w.
Wood, of Montpelier, made use of the
main business room in this store in
one of mis- paintings, The changes
made in and about the building in
sixty.five years have been so great that
it shows few traces of its first self.
A flight of stairs now goes up from
where the old stove used to stand--as
seen in Mr.. Woods picture-and lands
in newly finished room that will
abound with goods. Proprietor q. l..
! Edison will also have his office in this
room. 1t all betokens an increase of
business doing at this old stand and
we hope it will ever be prosperous
one.
The sugar season here seems likely
to prove rather poor one after all.
