I fear sea have been a great disappointment to the hopes of the early settlers of this community in regard to becoming a manufacturing centre. For a tlrne It flourished as an industrial centre, The council. offered a house of $20,0:00 to J. D. Ronald of Chatham i2 he would locate in Brussels, He was the inventor end builder of a steam fire engine and a celebrated separator engine and carried on a big business on the property now owned by the Brussels Creamery The other industries were: two steam and water gristing and flour miles, one of which (Vanstones) was very extensive and complete; one custom foundry; one water and one steam saw mill; a steam Planing mill; a stream carding mill; a furni- ture factory, six blacksmith and ten carriage shops; two pump factories; a tannery; a steam Rax -mill; three merchant tailor establishments; a number of bout and shoe shops and millinery end dress -making estate, lisllments and last but not least, a corset Cartery (and I am quoting now from my big book) "the style and quality of whose make up gave the establishment a wide reputation and enviable popularity," There were six general stores. to supply the wants of the village and community, five groceries, two tin and stove, two drug, three book, four boot and shoe and two con- fectionery stores There were several butchers- and bakers, a baiter sloop, two law nlflces, three doctors and a dentist. Two liveries and five hotels accomnuotitited travellers. The village had no las sthan six churches, two. Methodist, two Pres- byterian, one Episcopate= anis one Roman Cathoiie. Fondness for reading was indulg- ed in the Mechanics' Institute which took the place of a Library and the birth of the Brussels Post was a glorious event in the cultural life of our forefathers. It was fit st established by McGillicuddy Bros., who expe.ienced difficulties hut finally established their printing business' on a solid business basis. The first Poet was printed on July 10, 1279, and once again I quote, "The Post is a live local paper, spicily editel, well printed, ably managed and Reform in eolith:et." You can quite easily see teat the Years have taken a severe toll of the industries of the centre. Even in the minds of many of us, are memories ,if a busy lumber and planing mill, turning out vast quantities of high grade finished lumber and employing thirty or so men. A busy woollen mill situated. where MuO itcheon's garage is now, made yarns of very fine quality and employed dozens of men and women whoa Mr. .r, T. Wood was its owner.' These have been mostly histeriese facts which I have given you but one could go on for hours recounting interesting events which spm of our older citizens tell, For an hour at pure euloyment, let me commend to you a visit to some friendly older folks, who, with very little coaxing will carry yen back on an interest- ing Sony down Memories' lane. They will tell you of long trips by 'x'teain to Harper Hay with grain to be inacle into flour where the neatest grist still was located before they had situated here. They will have intriguing stories of barn mistime, the serious rivalry between teams to complete their pert Hirst and to finish the day, a grand and glorious dance which for shill and grace sand right down fun put, our modern dances • completely in the shade. they may tell you of when instead Of a bridge R our present site there stood a log mouse and ox -teams forded the river by or of the toll- gate which was located just about Mr, Gusty Wheeler's driveway ProperlyCAre�d One clear old lady will be sure to J tell the s•to:y of the civic welcome �� aceorded the volunteers at the time of the Fenian Itaids as they miarched triumphantly- into town, A. very N0 patriotic lady decided that 50111e of the uteri Weren't cheering as heartily as she thought they should, the 6 6 M . scolded them thee, "Wliy dinna' you cheer?
