"Giddap Nellie!" Malcolm Jacobs of Brussels says, as,
with son Roy and Jack Bishop, #1 Ethel, he takes:4 trial
run Saturday night prior to joining a wagon tn.! at Sun
Valley Park, Sts Agatha, .on Sunday. Mr. Bishop assisted
in building the chuckwagon.
and making all types of harness,
tooled and some inlaid with sil-
ver.
Malcolm has just finished mak-
ing a saddle from scratch for
Doug Ward of Monkton. lie also
makes wagon horse hitches 'of
harness and parade horse hit-
ches. Small with an ancient
counter, the walls covered in
harness parts, the shop is like
something out of the old days.
One of the conversation pieces
hanging' about on display is a
pair of iron-nose leading halters
which were used on wayward cat-
tle beasts around confederation.
Mr. Jacobs tools are genuine
antiques and he sews leather on
a Landis sewing machine about
hundred years old. "It's a
ood machine," he says, there
n't a day that goes by that we
d•ila se it," Another little gad-
get he often rises, is for making
leather round,' also about 100
years old. He makes his own
thread for sewing the leather
by twisting strands of linen to-
gether 'and coating it with bees-
wax,
"You can make the thread any
size or 'strength 'you need,"` he
explained. Materials and hard-
ware needed for harness making
are obtained from Griffith.Co.,
Stratford. Some chains come
from Scotland, .
Formerly employed by Ontario
Tlydre, Mr. Jacobs suffered an
arm injury which made him de-
cide "to do something II always
wanted," He bought a harness
shop in Brussels, moved his
family up from Toronto two years
ago and began the trade he learned
from his father. ',We've never
been happier," lie says,.
