GREYTOWN

AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE BUSINESS AS USUAL. (“Times-Age” Special.) Though badly hit by the earthquake Greytown is once more “in her stride,’ and business firms have again risen to the occasion by providing the usual high class service despite the difficulties brought about by the damage occasioned to shops during the earthquake. The business people of Greytown have once more demonstrated that they are able to meet whatever situation may arise with a promptness that is most commendable. Householders, too, have faced up to the position brought about by the earthquake in a spirit which could well be emulated by other communities.
