THE BRUSSELS POST; JANUARY 4, 1978
Couple in Belgrave, open. store
Belgrave on the sixth concession
• of East Wawanosh until last.
October and before they were
married, Mary Taylor lived in
West Wawanosh and Mr. Taylor
lived in the East Wawanosh.
The Taylors lived on a dairy
farm until their oldest son took
over and they.moved to Wroxeter
last October,
The Taylors now live on a farm
in Wroxeter and rent 72 acres.
Mr. Taylor had. been working in
Brussels for Millbank industries.
where they made brake conduits
and cables for Ford and. Chrysler
cars,
BUt Mr. Taylor didn't like the
night work which kept him busy
from 3:30 in the afternoon, until 2
a. m .
When he heard that Campbell
Construction from Blyth was
constructing a building in
.Belgrave, he asked Mr. Campbell
if he was going to rent the
building or sell it, and Mr.
Campbell told him that when he,
had made up his mind he would
let him know. When he finished
the building, Mr. Campbell
decided he would sell it and the
Taylors took possession on the
first of December.
At the. moment, the couple
drive back and forth from
Wroxcter and plan to do so until
sometime in the spring when they
hope to sell their house and move
to Belgrave.
The store will be open six days
a week from 8:30 to 6 and froin
8:30 to 8 on Friday nights and
closed Wednesday afternoons.
When the store opened - just
before Christmas about 250 •
people, came in to do business and
extended nest yvisnes.
The Taylors have six children,
two' of whom are still jiving at
home. Their son, Mark is 18 years
old and is working at his father's
old job: Their daughter Trudy is
16 and is still in high school.
Three other children are married
and another son is a veterinarian
in Newfoundland.
While the Taylors have had no
previous experience in store-
keeping, Mrs. Taylor had worked
a bit at the Amos Smith's General
Store, which burned down last
winter and which was located just
in front of the site where the
Taylor's have their store now. She,
worked only when extra help was
needed, Mrs, Taylor said.
According to Mrs, Taylor, they
made the building into a grocery
store because, "I guess every-
body has to eat--maybe that\ was
the idea."
And what do the Taylors think
they're going to enjoy most about
operating their new store?
"Probably being bark in the
Belgrave community," they said.
And the community of Belgrave
is probably glad to have the
Taylors back, to add a new
dimensi6n to their community.
