WAS collected, EVERYTHING IN THE STORE If you think there' no 'opportunities appallin town, and that you have to go tOe. big City to set ahead, better drop around to see Jack Gorbutt and Stan Campbell, at their new wood. working shop On Edward Street, Jack and Stan will probably tell yell .0i:fere entiy. Back in 1947, Jack and Stan were a. couple of working men employed at Pry and Blackball's and Lloyd's re- eneetivelY; They hadn't much idea of starting their own business until an opportunity came along to make wooden pop bottle boxes fqr the Wish-, ing Well company, Gathering together sonic tools consisting of a rip saw, cut-off saw and a drill, and using Stan's garage on Scott Street for a plan ,`to work, they set up shop in the fall of 1947. And they've been at it ever since. At first they made nothing but pop bottle cases. Following the order from Wishing Well, they got contracts for the cases from other soft drink manu- facturers in the district, until they had quite a sizeable business in bottle eases, Then one day Les Greenaway came in and asked them if they could make up some window sash, Although the; job was new to them, Staii and Jack took it on, and from that time on more and more of their work con- sisted of window sash. Nowadays thi bulk 11 their work is still sash, al- thougn they do go back to the old pop bottle cases occasionally. By the spring of 1948, things were getting a bit cramped hi the garage on Scott Street, and the boys were making plans .to move. They actually started moving just before the big flood of that year, and for a while It was touch and go as to whether they would get the machinery out before the flood waters engulfed it, They had rented the old carriage shop belong- ing to Art Adams on Diagonal Road, and in the fall of that year they bought the sash making machinery of the Blyth Co-,0p. and moved it into their new quarters. This year the building on Diagonal Road was sold to W. T. Cruickshank, and the firm of Campbell and Gorbutt was on the move again. This time they rented the old town hall building on EciWard Street, belonging to Art Ad- ams, The building had at one time belonged to the Whyte Packing Com- pany and the vats in which the eggs were pickled at one time still remain in the cellar. Stan and Jack find that their new premises allow them a lot more room for their sash making acti- vities, which are at present going at full blast. • Most of their jobs consists of cus- tom sash work for local customers; hi- though they do a great deal of whole- sale manufacture for lumber coin- panineS in Western Ontario. Besides being shipped to points all over Ont- ario, products of the Campbell and Garbutt plant have travelled as; far as fierkiiner, N, Y., and Detroit, Mich. Within the last couple of weeks Stan and Jack have securpil the agency for Pittsburgh paints and have added a bit of retailing to their other lines. IJp an the wall in the little .office of the plant on Ddward Street, is the plan of a Mulling, which, the hoy4 hope to build ono of these days, It's a two-storey building 405041, and the lot has already been purchased on which to build it. Jaek says it won't be fer a while yet, but they're keeping the plan there just to remind them, When the new plant materializes, Wilighara will be adding another new and growing industry to its ranks of job producers.
