His general urbanity and genial spirit bring to Wallace & Moore much to make their large trade what it now is.The public will find their place of business in the Buchanan block, Main Street, where customers like to come.

Moore, died at the Galt Hospital on Tuesday evening and seldom has the passing out of a citizen been marked by more general and more profound regret. During his long illness, though reports were at many times unsatisfactory, it was hoped against that he would recover. It was hope not to be so however. He fought a long struggle with the inevitable and eventually succumbed. Mr. Moore suffered during the past year from appendicitis and early this year was operated upon. The case proved extremely critical. On the Sunday morning following the operation he relapsed and the finger of death seemed almost upon him. But he fell into a sleep and it was afterwards thought that the worst had been passed, At times there were signs of improvement, but never was there any substantial promise of recovery. A lingering illness ended in death on Tuesday evening. George Veitch Moore, was the only son of the late William Moore, one of the pioneer egg merchants in Western Ontario, and a nephew of John D. Moore, registrar of Berlin, George Moore, the well-known horseman of Waterloo, and the late James D. Moore of St. Marys, the founder of the J.D. Moore Co., of that town. Mr. Moore was born in Waterloo, and came to Galt when a boy. He attended the common school here and the G.C.I. completing his education in Upper Canada College. He entered business life as a hardware merchant, He was married in June, 1898, to Josephine, second daughter of Dr. T. W. Vardon, who, with an infant daughter, his mother, Mrs. William Moore, and two sisters, Jean and Edith, is left to mourn his early demise. The funeral will take place Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock from the residence of his mother, corner of Salisbury avenue and Crescent Place to Mount View Cemetery.
