Wingham Advance -Times, Thurs., March 19, 1964
Former Resident
Energetic at 95
An interesting article ap-
peared in the February 19 issue
of the Cincinatti Post and
Times -Star concerning a native
of Wingham, Archibald Fergu-
son Morrison, who left here
many years ago. Mr. Morrison
is 95.
The article stated thatArchi
bald Morrison went to Cincinat-
ti 66 years ago in plaid pants
and matching spats. He had a
plowboy's strength, a missing
forefinger, a starched vest with
removable buttons, a memory
for poetry and a belief that
everything would be all right.
He sold suspenders, tele-
phones, advertising (for The
Post) gasoline and maps. He
started high school at 47 and
graduated at 56. After 40 years
of smoking, he quit at 11 when
his good pipe wore out during
the depression. He won't drink
Cincinatti tap water and likes
Martinis.
The columnist, Si Cornell,
says "I went to Archibald's95th
birthday party. It was a dis-
tinguished gathering on the
second floor of Arnold's Restaur-
ant in that back room with the
Civil War sink and Spanish-
American plumbing. Judge
Chase M. Davies was master of
ceremonies. Seven lawyers, an
advertising man, an account-
ant and some pretty secretaries
had a ball."
"Archiba.id put on a string
tie and accepted a Kentucky
colonelcy. He was toasted.
People said nice things."
"Sunshine is to flowers what
smiles and nice talk are to hu-
manity. Your words are as flow-
ers strewn on life's pathway,"
acknowledged Archibald.
The columnist wrote, "Per-
haps it is this courtly courtesy,
or sincere forebearance ofoth-
ers' defects, or maybe just that
l.e has 32 of his own teeth that
.nake Archibald different at95".
Mr. Morrison's father was a
bootmakcr. Ile went through
grades in 0 one -room school
and worked on farms. At 16 lac -
became clerk in a village store.
It was boyhood curiosity that
lost him the finger, when he
pushed a willow switch through
a metal -cutting machine.
He went to Detroit to clerk
in a department store and be-
came an expert on men's ties,
handkerchiefs and suspenders.
He then moved to Cincinatti
and tried selling advertising for
The Post. He knew he didn't
have enough education and re-
signed in six months. He went
to the Y. M, C. A. and took the
first salesmanship course offer-
ed in Cincinatti. Mr. Morrison
sold phones (and the poles that
went with them). He then ven-
tured into paint, then gasoline
and finly m.
His highalschool course at
night school enabled him to
make his work in selling maps.
He recalls that history was fresh
in his mind and he could talk
about them intelligently. He
continued as a map salesman
for 35 years.
He retired from this line at
'78. However, he was not fully
retired. He had shared an of-
fice with a lawyer while in the
map business and had become
accustomed to how he did
business. Mr. Morrison has been
a notary public for 50 years.
Now Archibald is sort of
general factotum for five at -
tourneys and a certified public
accountant. He still has his eye
sight, hearing and agility. In
fact, he lifts weights for exer-
cise twice a day.
