STOREWIDE LOW PRICES
60 YEARS AGO
The annual beefsteak
fry,
given by the Epworth League
last Friday was one of the most
successful social events of the
summer season.
The scene
of the feast was on the hill
Just east of the Nyssa bridge.
About thirty were in attendance
and pach gentleman had a liberal
supply of steak for two. The
ladies provided sandwiches,
pickles and coffee in abundance.
In addition to the "eats"
the evening was enlivened by
songs
by Arnold Cook and
Gerald Frost, and Miss Crete
Chlldprs added to the entertain
ment by reciting in her own
several
inimitable
manner
choice selections.
Altogether it was an affair
of some "class" and the par
ticipants regret that it don't
come oftener than once a year.
