Page 10 The Haileyburian Officials of tention to move thei district office and warehouse to New Liskeard from Haileybury. Officials have been speculating the move for some time and a plot of land on the corner of Golding Street and Whitewood Avenue has been pur- chased and work is already under way to clear it in preparation to erect new buildings. Imperial Oil Company has been operating in Haileybury for forty-seven years. Robert Jenkins, who was for forty-six years the Imperial Oil Company representative in this area and only recently retired stated that "It is the logical move, this saves a lot of trucking and New Liskeard is by flar the largest consumer. Haileybury was the best locaition fifty years ago when the major part of the consumers were supplied by dake barges and when Cobalt was booming."

Imperial Oil was established in Haileybury even before there was.an outlet in North Bay. Though twice burnt out the com- pany rebuilt and has not moved from its first location, rebuilding both times on the original site.

Tim McCoy After a lapse of over twenty years, days of the Old West, enjoyed so much by Grandpa and Grandma, as seen with the great Wild West Shows such as 101 Ranch, Tim McCoy, Pawnee Bill, Buffalo Bill and many others, will come to life again when Carson & Barnes, America's 3rd largest Wild Animal Circus, comes to Haileybury under the auspices of the Rotary Club, on Tuesday, July 28th. Famous Col. Tim McCoy, proclaimed the most authentic TV and Western movie cowboy, presents his "Real Wild West," complete with Indians, stage coach raid, sharpshoot- ing and all the other thrill events that will make for an ex- citing day at the Circus. The last time a program of this sort was presented to the public by a Circus was in 1935-36-37 when Col. Tim' McCoy presented the same type program for three successful years with the then great Ringling Bros. Among the big attractions with Carson & Barnes this year will be the big herd of Elephants, which will include the 11,000-pound Josky, the largest performing elephant on tour. Also on the bill will be the best of the Big Top's aerialists, acrobats, jugglers, wire walkers, animal acts, plus the Clown Congress of fun fellows. The public is invited to visit the show grounds at 10 a.m. on Cireus Day to watch the feeding and watering of the menagerie animals free and to see the elephants erect the Big Top.
