Morse Tools opens in Zurich Zurich's newest industry, Morse Tools Ltd., held a grand opening and. open house on Saturday, with MP Murray Cardiff and Zurich Reeve Bob Fisher participating in the ceremony. The company, head- quartered in the former village hard- ware store on Highway 84, is sole Canadian wholesale distributor of Morse high-speed cutting tools for the automotive and aerospace industry. Besides American -produced tools, the company also supplies imports from France, Spain and Yugoslavia in order to remain competitive. Distributors have already been established in Alberta, PEI, Nova Scotia and Quebec in addition to 16 in Ontario, and another is currently be- ing setBC. For setup and Diana Watts, the Zurich -based business means their hearts and their home are now in the same place. The American -born cou- ple first fell in love with this part of Canada while looking for a place to build a summer home. Jim saw two deer dart across a lot he was con- sidering, and he was sold: The former member of the Ferndale, Michigan, police force and his wife have been coming back to their summer residence at St. Joseph for the past 14 years. With the acquisition of the Cana- dian franchise for Morse Tools, the seasonal residence became a perma- nent home, and nearby Zurich seem- ed like an ideal location for a head of- fice. Besides President Jim Watts, the other executives are VIP Emily Lambert, Sarnia and Secretary - treasurer Diana Watts. Watts feels,the time is right for Morse Tools, which has been in business for over a century as part of Lambert Consolidated Industries bas- ed in New Bedford, Mass., to break in- to the Canadian market. Events since the Zurich office opened for business on February 3 have reinforced that belief. The first month's sales projec- tion was reached in the first week, Watt revealed, and the estimate for next month is also past history. Watts hopes to eventually also pro- duce tools here, if the company pro- spers. Setting up a factory would be dependent on finances, Watt said, ad- ding he knows the skills needed to operate a production line are readily available locally. Watt said he was very impressed with the calibre of people who responded to his ad for of- fice staff, and was sorry he could not have hired more initially. The five current employees are Don Oesch, Tony Moffatt, Dan LaPorte, Bonnie Arnold and Debbie Plumb. The Watts have made a commit- ment to this area. They have applied for landed immigrant status, and the next step will be full Canadian citizenship. "Its a pleasure to be here. The peo- ple are coridal and friendly, the at- mosphere is clean, and everything is so pleasant this move has probably added years to my life", Watts enthused "And where else could you go and pick up eggs in the garage behind so- meone's house and just leave your money?" Diana added, echoing her husband's enthusiasm for the benefits of small-town life. The Watts don't plan on all work and no play. Watt, a one-time player with the Forty-Niners, and his wife are golf and riding enthusiasts.
