see her again chatting with m h o when mrs sam walker re ceived a letter from mrs a sachs recently she called and told me about it because she thought a number of people would be interested im quite sure mrs walker is right for the sachs family were at one time proprietors of the bennett house hotel here in georgetown and were wellknown both in town and district it is in the neighborhood of thirtyfive years since they mov ed from town mrs sachs is now ninetyone years of age esquesing swine are flown to south america a number of esquesingbred swine were included in a plane load of

from wright bros r r 1 george town 14 gilts from j c cunningh- ham hornby and six gilts from t j brownridge r r 2 george town the newer people in town will be interested by mrs sachs lcttovtoo because discussing it led to some reminis cences about wltat georgetown was like four decades ago first of all of course the bennett house no longer exists today mr sachs sold the building when he retired part of the original building was torn down and re placed by what is now the royal bank but to go back to the time of jjjjthe bennett house tit brickand frame construction the property extended back la what is now the brewers retail store the hotel had its driving sheds and stables in that area which brought up the interesting little point that a young driver in the employ of the hotel and j a willoughby at that time was a chap by the name of bill wright shortly thereafter mr wright abandoned his career as m driver to seek his fortune prospecting in the north and he found it for that same young man became the multimil lionaire owner of the wright-har- greaves mine mr wright died four or five years ago taxpaid withdrawals of cigarets for consumption in canada in 1955 reached an alltime

front a near- tragedy almost came about be cause of those verandahs it hap pened on a sunny 24th of may when both verendahk were jrowd- ed with sightseers for the annual drummers snac parade this was a big calithumpian affair sponsored by the commercial tra vellers of the district somi thing like the orangemens par ades of a few years ago commercial travellers were called drunwnersvderived no doubt from the fact that they drummed up business there were a great many of them in those days and for the annual drummers snack the travellers in certain districts banded togeth er and put on the big parade in a different town each year the salesmen themselves took part all dressed in elaborate costumes everyone turmeov 6utfot4h af fair but this particular 24th there too many spectators of tjoo a the hotel was given its name by a former proprietor ro bert bennett later mr ben netts soninlaw mr archie cof fin took over the hotel for a num ber of years mr coffin sold the hotel to mr albert sachs this i think fills in the history of own ership of the bennett house pretty well its interesting to note that mr p b coffin 45 charles st is a son of the late mr and mrs archie coffin a daughter ethel now mrs vernon smith lives in hamilton and another son har old makes his home in the sou thern usa i also found it interesting to learn that the other hotels in georgetown at the time the sachs owned the bennett house were the mcgibbon house where it is today and the treanor hotel now the exchange hotel this latter hotel was owned by the late thomas treanors uncle there was aso a sixeablc hotel in glen williams at that time called the glen house owned and operated hy the late thomas hill now returning to mrs sachs letter their friends here might like to know that after selling the hotel here mr and mrs sachs retired to toronto f6r two years and then bought business in mitchell they lived there ten years when mf sachs died very suddenly mrs sachs is living with her son erie and his wife in toronto the other sachs son cllve died of penicillin poisoning their daughter rose married again and wept to strat ford to live but was widowed wlthta auyeai a airsaiwitlimii of phrase expresses very well how she reacted after not seeing the town for many years a mrs sachs wrote it did not seem at all na tural her letter was a long one written with excellent penman ship and she mentioned several of the merchants and business men of their time here also many of the people she knew most of whom still live here in fair health mrs sachs is able to get around the house with the help of a cane one of her chief sources of pleas ure is in keeping up quite an ex tensive correspondence with rela tives and friends im glad mrs walker allowed us to share her wmmr write mfrsuai fwhis
