Mr. Sims is 'an "oldtimer" of the village, of Blyth, but now makes his home with his daughter, Mrs. Lorne Dale, of Seaforth, and here is his story: "When the building which col- lapsed' is removed, there will be nothing to show where a black- smith shop was in Blyth. "The first man to own that shop was a Mr. McKellar, and it was operated by Robert Douglas and Bob Walden. Many boys learned the blacksmith trade with Bob Douglas. The last man to operate this shop was the late Thomas Kelly, of Blyth. `There, was another shop a little farther down the street, owned by James Clark. and following him was James Wilson. Harry and Wil- liam Phillips and William McNal- ly, and in more recent years, Har- old Phillips, who still lives in the village, and operated -this shop un- til a very few years ago, when he demolished it. `Another shop, near the creek, was operated by William Spooner, and Hugh McQuarrie had his blacksmith shop where •t'he. Hank of Commerce now stands. "Then the Slater and Sims car- riage and blacksmith shop. was a 72 by 42 brick building on Main Street, which gave way to the White Rose Service Station. A number of young men learned the trade with Slater and Sims, among them Mr. Sims' son, James, and to quote James Sims further: "We always had the shop open at 7 o'clock a.m., and many nights I worked until 9 o'clock before I could leave for supper. In 1897 I went to Detroit and took a three months' course in horseshoeing, which was very beneficial to me." Mr. Sims and his son, James, worked together until Mr. Sims, Sr., was appointed postmaster in the village a nd carried on James the business himself, but rater he opened up a grocery business on Main Street, which he operated successfully for many years be- fore retiring to Seaforth. ter.
