TRADE IN YE OLDEN DAYS Merchants Olten Troubled by Un- certainty of Navigation and Non- Arrivai of Goods - Money Was Scarce and Payment Frequently Given in Kind - Legend of White jSilk Hat. The uncertainty of navigation was a great source of anxiety ta the pia- neer merchants of Canada, wha had no other means af transportation. Thus we find Quetton St. George, who conducted a store in Toronto, saying in The Upper Canada Gaz- ette of December 10, 1803: "Mr. St. George is very sorry, on account of bis customers, that he bas not re- ceived his East India goods and groc- eries. He Is sure that they are in Oswego. and, should they flot arrive this season, they may be looked for early in the spring." It must have been particularly tantalizing ta this early merchant to have goods as near York as Oswego and yet not receive them for several months, whlle sup- plies ran low and settlers depending upon him were in need. "The order" for merchandise, which bas proved the bane of aur town merchants, especially when they are in pressing need of ready cash, had its origin many years back. About 1827 John Carroll, a proba- tioner for the Methodist ministry, and later one 0f the best known pia- neer ministers of the Church, labored as junior pastor on the Toronto cir- cuit, extending f rom Yonge St. To- ronto, to Clarke Tp. in Durham county, witb some forty appoint- mients. In order ta cover the field every two weeks. as was the custom, it was customary for these saddlebag pilots ta preach two or tbree times daily. 0f bis first itinerant venture John Carroll says: "My remuneration for four months was one dollar and flfty cents and an order on a store whicb procured me a pair of overalîs." The White PIug Hat The plug hat in the early days of Ontario was regarded quite com- monly as a badge of distinction, and so a parishioner of Haldimand Tp., out of deep love ta bis pastor. pre- sented him with a white silk bat. The minister, probably because be bad no other, wore this conspicuous headgear in season and out of sea- son for many years. One day he was visiting in a farmer's home and bis bost asked hum what be would take for the bat. The minister, in turn, asked what the fariner wisbed to do with tbe bat, when the latter replied: "Give it ta the meanest man I know, but 1 da not like ta see you wearing it." A change was effected and the minister went on bis way witbout this slgn of clerical garb. Gay Ribbon f or His Hair A member 0f a Pioneer settler's family that settled in Northunmber- land county is autbority for the statement that at Wicklow the young men used ta wear their bair long, plaited in a braid and banging down the back, and that those who cauld aff ord the luxury used ta tie it with a gay ribbon for Sundays or holiday occasions. The autbenticity o! this is evidenced by the few photographs of those early days. In Sanderson's "Hlstary of Methodisin" and other old books, some o! the early minis- ters appear wlth long hocks.. ()n. would tbink that the braiding must have been a necessary process, else in their travels thraugh tbe bush on borseback these pioneers migbt bave met a similar fate ta, Absalom, and bave been hung up by the baie ta some tree. In a long list of goods ribbons. In a long list o! goods wbicb Quetton St. George announces in The Upper Canada Gazette had just arrived from New Yark we flnd ribbons and velvet ribbons along wlth split-straw bonnets, beaver bats and bonnets, callimancoes, yellow nan- keens, fustians, bombazettes, etc. Halfpenny a Sweet Eaely selling 0f confectioneey was not by tbe Pound, but by the stick or lump, or whatever shape the in- dividual section was cast.in. About 1806 a Mrs. Luinsden opened a store in York with a window displaying sucb a wondeeful variety of sweets that no child could pass by withouit a covetaus look. There, endwise in tumblers and other glass dishes, Dr. Scadding states were numerous "lengtbs or stemns of prepared sac- charine matter, brittle in substance, white looking, but streaked and slightly penetrated witb some icb crimson pigment; likewise on plates and other dishes, a collection of quadrangular viscous lumps, buf- coloeed and clammy. There was also a display o! clecular discs o! ginger- bread, some witb scalloped edge; also hearts, fishes, littie prancing ponies, parrots and dogs of the samne tawny- bued material. The tariff of the various comestibles, Just enurnerated, was well known. It was precisely one balfpenny." The fantastic shapes into wbich these goodies were converted appealed so strongly to the small child that neyer before was the truism more reallstic, "You cannot eat your cake and bave it, too." Peddier of a Century Ago The peddler with bis pack was one af the most eargerly awaited visitons ta the eaely settlee's family, and es- peciaUly by tbe ittle children, wbo seldomn if ever saw the inside of a store. It is nowhere recoeded either that he was compelled ta pay a lic- ense tax. A Mrs. Harris, a descend- ant af the famaus Ryerson f amily, says o! the coming of a peddler in 1797: "The peddler's pack, with pint and muslins at 12c a yard, shawls, handkercbiefs and stackings, tape, pins and needles at similar prices, was like the opening af a show- room today." Of ploneer lii e in those days, Mes. Harris adds: "Lucky was tlae famuly who owned a coffee mili un 1797. In one of these niy father's men getting ont timber for building a uill ground the maize at night. for next day's meals-Johnny cakes. mash and milk.
