Th-cyý, mili grains growýn by farmecrs in the suriounding countryside., There ýre both old and new buildins as you drive down the street, ànd a variety of shops. Among them is Pogue Jewellers. Frorn the outside, Pogue's appears tri be the usual sort of jewellery business, and blends in with the other attractive store .fronts. But people in the know know that Pogues is no ordinary jewellery store. It's Strathroy's main tourist attraction. That's because of its dlocks. Pogues have- the largest selection of dlocks in Ontario, possibly in the whole country! Thcre are bi g cdocks, miniature dlocks, dlocks with Europe and Asia. Over 600 of them! t's not a dlock shop, as such'. It has a big stock of rings and other jewellery, but as you walk down the aisie past everything else you corne upon the dlocks. They're everywhcre! There are hand-carved cuckoo dlocks from Germnany, Italy and China. And for variation, a selection of music boxes, as wfll as a player piano which enthralls children.. But the most impressive display of ail is on the second floor of the store. Its packed with grandfather dlocks. At least a hundred of them! They stand there grandly. Dignified. Stately. Their chimes play softly from time to time giving a feeling of peace and serenity. Jim Pogue, who started the business 30 years ago showed me sorne of bis favorites. As we walked down row after row 1 said, "Ji.m, Viim sure thiattourists like to roam around and look at these expensive beauties, but dIo many people buy themT "You'd be surprised,' he rcplied. I hadone customer who bought one for each of bis five children when they got m arried." He paused, then smiled and addcd, "At th e time 1 wishcd he had 10 children," 1 spent a few hours at Pogues but there are still- more to see. It takes tîme to sec the whole selection, and the tick-tocks of the hundreds of dlocks continue to draw visitors chime after chime. Visit our booth at the DURHAM CENTRAL FAIR!
