She has sold antiques at Barnstable, Smtw%h and Monument Beach. 'She sells furniture and glass. She would not have any display except in the summer time she would like to have the barn open for the unfinished things. She had no idea of putting furniture in the yard except possibly a spinning wheel which she considered a part of the sign. She would have a sign, not an objectionable one, but one that would be large enough ' to be seen in a large yard like this one was. She thought it should be a wide as the Selectmen's table and a little longer the other way. Mr. Glynn inquired if she had any facilities for parking automobiles and she stated that there are two driveways, one this side of the house and the other the other side near the barn and she planned to keep them open. Mr. McIntosh could not come himself but he was represented by one of his agents. He stated that of course they were anxious to sell the pro,erty and felt that business should be allowed there because there is business across the street and next to -the property. He also stated that Mrs. Garfield came well recommended and that he canvassed the territory and found.no objection. Mr. Andrews, an attorney from Winchester, was present and stated that he had known Mrs. Garfield for a number of years and he knew both Mr. and Mrs. Garfield to be of the highest type of people and he wished they were coming to Winchester to sell antiques. Their home had the same appearance of any home -except for one room where the glass was. He recouLnended them very highly. Mrs. Garfield stated that the intended to buy this house but if..she...could not use if for antiques she would not purchase it as it was too large for her own use.
