St. Thomas' Anglican Church,
Seaforth, will celebrate its 91st an-

ANOTHER BUSINESS
CYCLE COMPLETED
E. L. Box Terminates
Long Career in
Business.
The name 'Box' has been syn-
onymous with business and indus-
try in Seaforth since before the
turn of the century, when Messrs.
Broadfoot & Box operated a furni-
ture factory. Recently another
generation of Box's completed " a
business career when E. L. Box
disposed of his coal business after
38 years.
Mr. Box was born in Seaforth
and received his early education
at Seaforth.Public School and Col-
legiate Institute. On completion of
his secondary education in 1904,
Mr. Box started his career in the
business world. He first worked
in the office of his father's fac-
tory for two years, and then going
to Toronto for one year. For the
next five years he worked in the
office of Edge & Guttridge, well-
known contractors at that time. In
1912 Mr. Box bought the coal busi-
ness of Mr. Edge.
He first set up an office in 1912
in the building now occupied by
Mr. W. H. Elliott, and remained
there for two years. In 1914 he
moved his office to the W.
T. Box retail store, a building
which stood between that of Mr.
Elliott's and. the Bank of Com-
merce.
In 1924 he qualified as an em-
balmer and funeral director and to-
gether with his brother, ;the late
H. C. Box. conducted a furniture,
ambulance and funeral service
until 1941. At the end of that
year he moved his place of busi-
ness to its present location. In
April of this year Mr. Box sold his
coal business to Willis Dundas.
Throughout his business career
Mr. Box has always taken an ac-
tive and keen interest in municipal
affairs. He was first initiated to
this sphere of life with •a_year as
councillor in 1918. He was a mem-
ber of the P.U.C. for 11 years, from
1934-45, ten of which were as chair-
man. He has been a director of
the Toronto Mutual Life Insurance
Co. since 1939. Mr. Box was a
bandsman for 25 years, and band-
master for one year. He bas al-
ways taken a keen interest in the
Chamber of Commerce work, and
has served many terms as chair-
man of the Industrial Committee.
