SAMUEL SLOANE,
PRODUCE MERCHANT AND GRAIN DEALER.
The oldest established grain business in
town is that carried on by Mr. Samuel
Sloane, on the corner of Hamilton and
Victoria streets. The proprietor is one of
the best-known figures in our local com-
mercial circle, having been a resident since
1861. He first saw the light of
day in Shercock, county of Cavan,
Ireland, where he, received his ear-
ly educational training. He carne
to Canada in 1851 and located at
Quebec, where he resided for five
years. He then removed to Grand
Bay on the Saguenay River. Here
he continued for five years, when
he moved West, and cast in his
lot with Goderich, where he has
proved to be a useful and enter-
▪ prising resident. In addition to
the large export grain trade which
he has succeeded in developing,
and which has proved very suc-
cessful financially, he has taken
• an active part in public matters,
and for years represented St. Pat-
rick's Ward at the Municipal
Board, finally retiring owing to
pressure of private business, and ,
much against the wishes of his
constituents. Mr. Sloane is a genial repre-
sentative Irishman and has hosts of friends
in the land of his adoption. of_
accepting invitations so that his business
would not suffer in his absence. Both in
public and private " Ed " has the good -will
and esteem of all who know hirn.
THE MEDICAL HALL,
F. JORDAN, PROPRIETOR.
The oldest medical dispensary in town is
chased from Mr. W. M. Savage. At the
time the building was purchased, a number
of inferior structures adjoined it facing the
Square, and one of Mr. Jordan's first acts
was to tear down these and erect a row of
brick stores, which have proved to be an
ornament to the town, and, in conjunction
with the handsome range of buildings
erected by Mr. Horace Horton,
now form the handsomest and
most valuable business block in
town. Mr. Jordan is of English
birth and extraction, but has been
so long a resident of Canada, that
he has fully identified himself with
the interests, political and commer-
cial, of his adopted country, of
which he has proved a most useful
and energetic citizen. In most of
the business ventures that have

been put on foot since his advent
to Goderich he has taken a live
and liberal interest, an4 although,
like many others, he has found
that all is not gold that glitters,"
he has nevertheless been able to

that owned by Mr. F. Jordan, who for the
past thirty-two years has presided over its
destiny. In the spring of 1857 Mr. Jordan
arrived in Goderich and purchased the busi-
ness of the late C. G. Rich, who removed
to St. Thomas. He subsequently bought
from the late Dr. Macdougall, the business
this world's goods, and to occupy
a prominent position in our busi-
ness community. At the time of
the Trent affair, he was one of the
first to volunteer for service in the
Goderich Artillery Company, and in 1866,
when the company was called out for active
service at Sarnia, he relinquished his ex-
tensive business for the time -being and
took his place at the front as a private. In
1867 he was gazetted Quarter -Master of
the 33rd Batt., a position which he held
until about five
years ago, when
he was gazetted
Paymaster for
the Battalion—a
post which he still
holds. For a num-
ber of years he
represented St.
George's Ward at
the Town Council
Board, and proved
an able and effi-
cient councillor.
In the year 1882
he was elected to
▪ the position of
trustee of the
High School
Board, which he
has continued to
hold to the pre-
sent time. He
has also been a
member of the
Public Board of
Health for a num-
ber of years, and
for several terms
occupied the oner-
ous position of
chairman.
