Frorn the Canadian Automotive 'Trade Magazine for June we 'take the following write-up of a former Wing - ham old boy, George Ansley, son of the late John and Mrs. Ansley of Wingham: "Mr. Ansley has attained to his pre- sent position of directing head of the McLaughlin -Buick sales organization through hard work and filling success-, fully positions in other departments of this company.

His first situation was on the office staff of the Canada Fur- niture Manufacturers; .from there he went as first accountant with the Dresden Sugar Company. Like many other Ontario boys, Mr,, Ansley got the Western fever and in 1903 wont to Manitoba, where he took a position in the retail implement business conducted in Manitou by Mr. Mackenzie, Winnipeg manager of McLaughlin Carriage Company—Mc- Laughlin carriages being at that time one of the leading lines.
