John Eamer, a native of Cornwall and the senior member of this firm, has been engaged in the manufacture of aerated beverages here for the past 10 years. A few months ago he associated with himself M. F. Cameron under the firm name of Eamer & Cameron. Their commodious premises are situated on Pitt Street, and are fitted up with all the appliances necessary for the manufacture of cooling drinks, such as ginger ale, soda water, etc. They are also bottlers of mineral waters, and make a specialty of Bromo-Hygeia, rapidly becoming a general favorite. The partners are both active and energetic men and not only supply the town with goods in their line, but the towns and villages for a wide section roundabout.

      There is no more attractive establishment to the general public than a neat and well-kept confectionery and fruit store, which appeals at once to the eye and the palate.
      George Thomas, who has the largest fruit and confectionery store in Cornwall, is a native of Damascus, Syria, where he was born 24 years ago. Like very many of his countrymen,the lust of travel seized Mr. Thomas at an early age, and his wanderings took him nearly all over the world. In his journeyings he became an expert linguist, and speaks with equal facility nearly all the modern languages.
      Mr. Thomas came to America about eight years ago and four years later he saw a good opening in Cornwall and at once proceeded to fill it. He leased a store in the Iron Block, was compelled soon to take another, and has now a specially attractive place of business. He deals in confectionery of all kinds, handling such high grades as Lowney's, Ganong's, Perrin's, Stewart's and Nasmith's Chocolates, Peter's Milk Chocolate, and an infinite variety besides. His range of fruit includes the choicest foreign and domestic kinds, and all fresh vegetables are kept in their season. Ice cream and ice cream soda are dispensed in the parlors, and in the winter a restaurant is conducted, open at all hours. Fine cigars and tobacco are a specialty. Mr. Thomas is recognized as one of Cornwall's enterprising and progressive citizens.
