Since returning from overseas, Kenneth Schaefer had been with the firm for six years. He served overseas with the R.C.A.F. While under new ownership the store will continue to be known as Weichel Hardware. Several years ago the Waterloo store was completely modernized and modern new vitrolite front was installed.

    TOMATO SOUP

    Miss N. Decker.

    1 quart of fresh tomatoes or 1 can, 1 onion, 4 ounces butter, 1 tablespoon flour, 2 spoons salt, 1/2 spoon cayenne pepper, 1/2 pint rich milk, 3 pints water. Boil tomatoes and onions 3/4 of an hour, add salt, pepper and three pints of hot water, the butter and flour rubbed smoothly with a little of the soup to aid in mixing and a little more to make it like thin cream. Boil ten minutes and when ready to serve, pour on the milk which must be boiling to prevent it curdling the soup. It may be made thinner if required.1a
