  John Kinsinger. In the hardware and tinware trade, Wellesley village has her wants amply supplied by Mr. Kinsinger. He deals exclusively in that which goes to make up a first class hardware store. He was born in St. Jacobs in 1857. He received his first lessons in the tinsmithing trade under the instructions of Mr. John Gabel of that village. After this he worked for some time at Elmira and finally he went to Michigan where he was for several years. Returning from the states he came back to Huron county where he was for some time engaged in business. He started in Wellesley about three years ago, and has been meeting with encouragement ever since. His stock of hardware is large and well selected, and in the tinware line there is everything necessary for the household. He handles all the leading make of stoves and has a number of the best manufacture in his store now. He handles a large quantity of the best binder twine in the market during the season, and has already this season sold seven tons. In eavetroughing, roofing and spouting be makes a specialty, which he is prepared to do on the most reasonable terms and guarantees first-class workmanship. He also always keeps on hand a large supply of the best make of wire fencing.
