Stewart has sold his blacksmith shop on Main street to John Gallop, who is moving his garage business there from across the corner, Mr, Gallop has sold his modern cement block building to Ken Campbell who will move his electric welding and machine shop from John street. The sale of the Stewart 'black- smith shop brings to a close a busi- ness which has been carried on con- tinuously in Seaforth for about eighty-two years, having been handed dowir from father to son. For over. thirty years the late Alexander' Stewart was in the blacksinithing business in Seaforth, building up a good trade, and was succeeded by his son, Mr. J. A. Stewart, in 1892, Before .the introduction of mass fac- tory production, this establishment used to snake a lot of new wagons, buggies and carts, but gradually quit that branch of business and de- voted their time to horse -shoeing and repairing. The late Sylvester Allen learned the trade with iylr. Stewart and worked with hint for a number of years. Although Mr. Stewart is seventy- nine years of age and retiring from active business, he still enjoys good health, He •is a former Mayor of Seaforth and served on the town council for a number of years. Mr. Gallop intends .0 install his gas pumps on the vacant lot at the north side of the' building, with a convenient covered driveway. Egmondviile United Church Rev. A. W.
