miiiinity of well-to-do-people, and its educational insti-
tutions arc held in higih esteem. The products of its

are buit three printing establisiihments in Galt, two of
them newspalper offices, thie Reporter and the Re-
foriner, the other a mecediiumc size job office condulcted
by Chas. Iccxles. n For a town of 9,ooo it inight be
thoiught that tliere is rooii for iis roo for re, but, as a miatter
of fact, those in business niow are capable of nmeeting
all cldemaniids. However, they receive loyal support
from the people of Galt.
CiTAS. E KNOWLES.
Chas. E. Knowles, who is occupying a flat at io1?,
Main strcet, has been in the printing business for 18
years, from tiiie to timie. Milr. Kuiowles reports a veri-
good year's business up to I)ecember, when tlie traude
commenced to take on a quieter tone. The flat occu-
pied by Mr. Knowles is a spacious one, and affords
plentv of rooxi foir Iiis equipmlient,, which consists of
sevetal racks of type, three platen presses and a
cutiter. Thee miachinery is driveun by gas power. Job,
pamphlet aiind small catalogue work is usually printed,
buit Mr. Knowles seldom passes anything by because
it is too large for hi to handile.
