FORMER SRUCEFIELD RESIDENTS
MR., MRS. J. SNIDER, 50 YEARS WED
For many years well-known Clinton.
resident of Brucefield, Mr. and I
Mrs: John Snider, Clinton, ' on
Wednesday'. observed their gol-
den wedding day. A family din-
ner was served at noon and
close friends called during the
afternoon to offer congratula-
tions. Many messages were re-
ceived by the well-known and
highly respected couple, includ-
ing greetings from the Prime
Minister of Canada, Hon. Louis
St. Laurent, and Torn Pryde,
M.L.A., Exeter, and Senator W.
H. Golding, Seaforth.
Mr. and Mrs. Snider were
married on December 29, 1904,
by the late Rev. E. H. Sawers,
at Brucefield at the home of the
bride's grandmother, Mrs. M.
Wolfe. The bride was the for-
mer Lillian Taylor, Brucefield,
a daughter of the late Mr. and
Mrs. D. L. Taylor, Stratford.
After operating a harness bus-
iness—probably one of the last
in Western Ontario—in the vil-
lage of Brucefield for more
than 60 years, Mr. Snider and
`pis wife retired 13 years ago to
Clinton to make their home.

Joining with them on the an-
niversary • were their three
daughters, Miss Irene .Snider, of
London, who is well known for
her woodworking and carving;
Mrs. Murray (Eleanor) Hether-
ington, Brampton, who is a
choir leader and organist, and
Miss Kay Snider, Reg.N., at
home; and one son, Melvin John
Snider, principal of the Meaford
public school, and four grand-
daughters.
Born in Hessedarmstad, Ger-
many, in 1867, Mr. Snider came
to Canada with his parents when
about two years of age, arriv-
ing in New York after a voyage
of six weeks. They went to
Zurich where his mother's sis-
ter "lived, and then to Lisbon,
near Wellesley. After true. death
of his father, when he was nine
years of age, they moved to
Stanley Township, where Mr.
Snider attended the late George
Baird's school on the second
concession of Stanley. They re-
turned later to Zurich where he
Iearned the trade of harness -
making with Herman Wells,
with whom he remained for
three years, working 10 hours
a day, including two hours af-
ter supper. His wages for the
three years' services was $100.
At the end of that period he
watched the advertisements in
the the paper and got a job with
E. H. Gulledge in Oakvills. Af-
ter working there a year and
four months, he went to Bruce -
field on August 20, 1888, and
started business in the harness
shop which he purchased from
Frank O'Neil. He carried on
continuously until his retire-
ment, adding shoes to his stock
in trade.
Mr. Snider 'was the first per-
son in the south part of Huron
County to have a bicycle, which
he purchased for $85 from the
late M. R. Counter, Seaforth.
After that he sold bicycles and
in 1893 he disposed of 50 of
them in Brucefield. "It was
not unusual to ride to London.
and back—a distance of some
45 miles—in a day," he said.
• Football and bicycle racing
were the main sports of the day
fifty years ago. However, his
main hobbies have been fishing
and hunting, and since his re-
tirement he has excelled in
bowling, a sport which he en-
joyed up until 86 years of age,
one year ago.
Conditions, Mr. Snider recalls,
were altogether different when
he was married. Back at the
turn of the century, horses and
buggies were the only means of
transportation, and so he sold
many sets of harness and bug-
gies. Trade was the busiest
about the 24th of May and the
first of July, when the young
men wanted to take their girls
out. Two hotels were.going full
blast in Brucefield, where one
could ,get a full -course 'meal for
25 cents.
There were five general
stores and a pork packing busi-
ness carried an where dressed
hogs sold at $5 per hundred-
weight. Coal was $5.50 per ton,
a quarter of beef $5 per hun-
dredweight and short green
wood sold for $1.25 per cord.
People harrowed with oxen and
could keep up with the reaper
when binding sheaves.
The bridegroom of 50 years
ago has always been keenly in-
terested in community affairs,
particularly municipal councils.
This past election in Clinton was
the first time he missed the
privilege of voting.
Mr. Snider„ is the only sur-
viving member of his family,
while Mrs. Snider has three sis-
ters and one brother. They in-
clude Mrs. (Dr.) Kathryne
Broaderidge, Grosse Points,
Mich.; Mrs. Madeline Nie, Belle
River, Ont.; Mrs. M. M. Sweet,
Hollywood, Cal., and Louis E.
Taylor, St. Cloud, Minn.

Smoking and drinking hurt

ty Pavelich. Bill Dineen
agrees: "I feel that staying.
away from smoking and -
drinking helped me to:
achieve my goal." Both Red

give credit to their parents
for their great record. De-
clared Gordie, "I have al-

I have my folks to thank

Throughout the land, Canadians made progress in 1954.
They prospected, staked, drilled and mined; they cleared, ploughed
and planted; they fished and they hunted; they planned and
constructed; they manufactured, and they bought and sold.
And working with Canadians in their ventures from coast to
coast —helping with counsel, service and money —
was the Bank of MontreaL
In 1954, B of M loans and investments — amounting to some
to billion dollars—worked for Canada and Canadians.

and mining developments of every type and manufacturing
in all its phases ... farms and ranches . - . the grain trade ...

. municipalities ... churches, hotspitals and schools ... many

of life counted on the B of M for counsel and credit.
Canada is on the march today. And moving ahead with the nation
are 625 B of M branches from coast to coast, at the service
of the men and women who are forging the Canada of tomorrow.

NEW HOMES FOR CANADIANS .. .
When the Government of Canada
asked the Chartered Banks to add
the making of mortgage loans to
their services in order to increase
die building of new homes for
Canadians, the B of M responded
promptly from coast to coast. k
made the first mortgage loans on
the Pacific and Atlantic coasts alike;
it made the first in the Prairie
Provinces—the first in Ontario —
the first in Quebec. Here was the
beginning of a large share of the
financing of thousands of new bout
ing units started in Canada under
the National Housing Act in 1954:
