It was on Nov. 1, 1902, that William .A. Crich and his brother, Chester Crich, purchased Culbert's Bakery in Seaforth. The firm has been at the same location ever since. In the 60 years that have' passed, several generations of Seaforth citizens have ;known Crich's as a meeting place. For more than half a century, Crich's bread has been a house- hold word in homes throughout a wide area. The Crich brothers learned the bakery business in Brussels and the knowledge and experi- ence they brought to Seaforth with them was soon reflected in a steadily expanding busi- ness. In 1910 Chester Crich left the firm and established his own business in Carberry, Man., which, with his family, he continues to operate. W. A. Crich was responsible for a number of innovations which today are regarded as commonplace. In 1920 he intro- duced rural bread delivery and soon Crich trucks in summer and sleighs in winter were common sights along Huron and Perth concessions. It was at this time that the late Charles Adams began an association with the firm that was to last many years. Among the first to be in charge of deliveries was Oliver Elliott, now a resi- dent of Stratford. Increasing business by 1924 resulted in the erection of a large two-storey extension, where labor-saving machinery was installed to permit a larger output. During the same year, extensive alterations were com- pleted to the store in time for the 1924 Old Boys' Reunion. A new fountain was a feature of the restaurant. Before the days of mechanical refrigera- tion, the lfountain was cooled THE FIRM has no records to prove it, but during the past 60 years many hundreds of wedding cakes have been baked and decorateyd by Crich's Bakery. Here, John C. Crich, present owner of the long-time Seaforth business, established in November, 1902, decor- ated the latest in cakes. Crich's have invited the public to drop in for a visit on Fri- day and Saturday,, when the firm marks its 60th anniversary in business on Seafbrth's Main Street.

Daly the first snowmobile seen in the district to provide faster winter deliv- ery acrosssnow-blocked rural roads. The next year wrapped bread was sold for the first time. John C. Orich, who since the death of his father in 1939, has carried on the business, began to learn baking in 1927, and in 1930 graduated from the Trent Institute of Baking, O.A.C., Guelph.
