Approximately 250 people attended the
event which was arranged by a committee
made up of Mr. and Mrs. John McGregor,
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Glenn and Mrs. Ann
Broadfoot.
Welcoming, the guests at the school -yard•
gate were Mrs. Marian (McEwen)
Laramie, Mrs. Ann (Stewart) Noonan,. and
Miss Margaret McGregor, Gordon Glen and

business scene. since 1882.
Our gravel business was established in 1941. In 1946, our
crushing plant and bulldozer were added.
In 1957 we set up a Hot Mix Asphalt plant at our Holmesville
pit to replace the cold mix aspalt previously in use in Huron.
Since then, we've produced over 1.5 million tons of asphalt and
paved over 500 miles of road in Huron County.
With pleasure, we join in the salute for the Township of
Stanley's 150th Anniversary. Have a great time at the Homecom-
