Kendall Leather Co. was gutted by fire last week, one gen- fleman who experienced more than a passing twinge of nostalgia was an elderly resident of Indian- Indiana. For Mr. Will recollections of the old back to the early was used as a apolis Sumner's structure go 1860's, when it ship's store. Spending a brief holiday with his sisters, Miss Tillie Sumner and Mrs. Charles F. Doty, this smiling, courtly gentleman is happily renewing old acquaint ances, some of which date back several decades. "The Jull and Hagerman dry goods store occupied a part of that building back in 1877, when I|left Oakville as a youth to seek my fortune," Mr. Sumner, who cheerfully admits he is 88 years young, recalled yesterday. '"An- other part housed William Rob- ertson's Hardware. Originally, however, it served as a supply store for ships during the old harbour's heydey Son of an Oakville harbour- master and grandson of an early owner of the Oakville House, it was natural that Mr. Sumner should spend many of his boy- hood summers working at light tasks near the old port. "Boats put in with great cargoes of coal in those days, while we shipped lumber, wheat, and great quan- tities of fruit," he said. "I coop- ered many a barrel of apples in those days, while every summer I took at least one trip abgard one of the vessels." It wasn't all work for the youngsters of that era, however. Favourite sport of a young Sum- ner and his mates was horse rac- ing with cutters over the frozen stretches. of Sixteen Mile creek. Although foot racing was the town's chief sporting activity at that time, he played ball, too. "Fortunately, the Oakville mounting rapidly. Investigate these outstanding locations now.

While he likes to recall past glories of the old port, Mr. Sum- ner is intensely interested in the present-day expansion of the town. "When I left here at 17, it was because there was little here to offer advancement to a young man," he said. "Now the farms and woods have given way: to homes and factories, and op- portunity is on every hand. It has become a fine town." Proud of his American citizen- ship for the many years he has been associated with the whole- sale grocery business -in Indian- apolis, he remains unimpressed by the yen for speed and more speed so well exemplified by the auto racing enthusiasm in his adopted city. "Mrs. Sumner and I went to the speedway once, but never went back again," he said. "It was tiresome and noisy." "It's good for business, how- aver," he went on, with a twinkle. "That's one thing we know all about over there. I found much to interest me in watching the de- velopment of the automobile, much of- the experimentation on which took place in Indianapoli Speed in transportational facili- ties does impress Mr. Sumner, however. "When I first went to the States the trip took me two and: a half days," he declared. "This time I made it in less than 14 hours. That is the kind of progress I really like." Enjoying good health, Mr. Sum- ner hopes to make many more trips back here. He hopes, though, that Colborne St. will show a new face upon his next visit. *T remember when it was mud and cobblestones," he chuckled. "Now. it's so bumpy again one can't be too sure the cobblestones aren't still there."
