In 1908 Mr. Klumpp moved to Dashwood and began threshing for Charles Guenther and two montherths out after tOuto bought f hCash, rather than ask the merchants at Dash- wood for credit, he walked to Crediton and secured oil for his. machine from an old friend there, At the end of the first year's threshing he had paid off half of alis indebtedness to Mr. Guenther and still owed $12 to. one of his men. This he earned by cutting wood. In 1909 he went to London and purchased a traction engine and blower for his threshing ma- chine. Rather than pay the $28 it would cost to ship the equip- ment to Dashwood he drove the machinery home, taking most of the day. In 1910 Mr. Klumpp entered into partnership with Andrew Musser and purchased a second macthine and hired men to run it. For a year he worked as a barber at Grand Bend for Wil- liam Fritz and later bought out the barber shop of Joseph Wam- bold at Dashwood which he sold to Wesley Wolfe. Mr. Klumpp operated the threshing machine in the daytime and ran the bar- ber shop at night. He also purchased the bake- shop and confectionery store of Fred Dearing, Dashwood and conducted it for four years, sell- ing out to Fred White. His next venture was to pur- chase the planing mill of George Kellerman. The building was run down and the machinery ne- glected. Alvin Kellerman and Levi Hamacher were employed the first year. During the years of the depression in the late 20's business fell off but Mr. Klumpp kept the mill in operation. In 1939 the mill, together with the lumber on hand, was totally destroyed by fire. Mr. Klumpp received a tempting offer from Grand Bend to locate a new mill there. With assistance from the Dashwood residents Mr. Klumpp decided to rebuild. It was on February 13 that the mill was destroyed and in May the new mill was up and operating with new machinery. Since that time the mill has been enlarged several times un- til today there are 40 men em- ployed and six ladies in the of- fice. Mrs. Klumpp has been con- nected with the office for the past 43 years. The oldest son Maurice began with the firm after finishing public school. He later attended technical school to attain greater skill. Maurice has two children, Bill and Connie, students at Western University. He commutes daily to the factory. Stewart Wolfe who joined•the firm the same time as Maurice 'has been with them ever since. Howard Klumpp served over- seas in the Second World War and after returning home was taken into partnership in the firm. He has one son Brad. Mr. Klumpp, as president of Dashwood Planing Mill Limited, keeps close tab on all operations although the management has been largely taken over by his two sons. The firm now practi- cally devotes the most of its time to the manufacture of ?re- fit windows for which they have a big market throughout the province.
