    • "James W. Davis, Tin and Sheet-iron Manufacturer"

      Dumfries Reformer and Western Counties General Advertiser 13 Feb 1861

      ______________________

      GALT IN JULY, 1844

      Mr. Alex. Addison has sent us quite a curiosity in its way the first and second number of the Dumfries Courier, published in Galt in July, 1844. The paper itself is a curiosity, and its advertisements and other contents have provoked in our mind a resurrection of many old events, which might have remained in oblivion for ever had not this record come in our way. The Courier was printed by Mr. B. C. Hearle, and embraced 24 columns of matter not nearly the size of the Reformer, while the typography would be considered rather antiquated at the present day. … . Among its advertisers, we find that "New Goods" have been received by J. K. Andrews: Robert Edmond desires "Tailoring" to any extent; Æ. B. Gordon announces "Fresh Arrivals," of Staple and Fancy Dry Goods; Wagstaff & Ramore have he best Tin and Sheet Iron Ware in Galt; and Robert Gillespie has on hand a general stock of Dry Goods, Groceries and Hardware. Besides these names, we find the following advertisers: Donald McIntosh, Tavern-Keeper and Tailor, a strange combination; Alexr. Beckett, Barber and Hair-dresser; Courtenay & Service, Dry Goods dealers; James W. Davis, Tin and Sheet-iron Manufacturer; Andrew Oliver, Druggist; John Dodd, engraver; and John Miller and Adam Ainslie, Barristers. These names comprise all the advertisers, and will recall to those who have long lived in Galt, many strange reminiscences of bygone days. We thank Mr. Addison for placing these old papers on our taable.
